Sifu tells a revenge story about a young martial artist whose father and teacher is murdered by a group of five assassins. Years later you set out to hunt them down one by one, from a drug den to a nightclub, an art museum and a skyscraper.
French studio Sloclap, which also made Absolver, worked with a Pak Mei kung fu master to design the combat. The result is one of the most respected melee systems of recent years, plus a striking painterly art style that gives the game its comic book feel.

Sifu Gameplay Overview
The twist is a magic pendant that revives you after death, but each revival adds years to your age. Getting older makes you hit harder but lowers your maximum health, and once you pass seventy the pendant stops working. Combat is all about reading enemies, blocking, parrying, avoiding and using the environment, from bottles and bats to bars and tables. A shrine system lets you unlock permanent skills between runs.
