To that end, you have actually have a total of four unique options when it comes to defense, each with their own specific use: you can guard, parry, sway, or dodge. Most enemies you’ll need to open up by making them miss. One really important thing to note about Sifu’s combat is that it’s very defensive-oriented. Once a medallion breaks though, those upgrades are no longer achievable for that run, and once you run out of medallions on your pendant, it’s game over, and you’ll have to restart from the beginning. This pendant also is what is used to purchase upgrades, with each medallion having four to five upgrades attached to it. Your age is also tracked via a pendant with five medallions, with one medallion breaking every 10 years. But with age also comes experience, and so every time your life bar diminishes, you’ll also deal more damage. The more you age, the more frail you become, with your health bar shrinking every 10 years. Defeating certain tough enemies will allow you to reduce your death counter, but you can’t turn back the clock. So if your death counter is at 5, and you’re 37 years old, when you revive, you’ll suddenly be 42. When you revive you’ll actually age up by whatever your death counter is at. You’ll then be able to revive right where you keeled over and get back into the fight. When you lose all of your health, your death counter will increase by one, and you’ll be able to spend your earned EXP on new moves and upgrades. In fact, dying is actually one of the main ways you’re able to become stronger. Enemies don’t give off warning signs above their head or flash different colors to let you know when they’re about to attack, the parry window on most enemy strikes is extremely tight, and they will often parry your own strikes, rarely letting you land more than two to three hits in quick succession without stunning them first.Įnemies are so tough because you’re expected to die several times in any given run through of Sifu. For one, Sifu’s battles are exceptionally difficult by design. But from those roots, it sprouts in a completely different direction. Much of that time was spent learning the ins and outs of Sifu’s combat, which definitely has its roots in the Batman Arkham school of that one vs many, strike/counter/takedown style of combat. But I found myself so absorbed that I’ve been continuously coming back to it in my spare time, and at this point, I’ve dumped a little over six hours into just this small slice of Sifu. Even with the difficulties, the game is "truly one of the best modern action games around.The demo that I got to play covered the Club level, which was a fairly small chunk of gameplay that – once I knew what I was doing – could be completed in just about 12-15 minutes. In IGN’s Sifu review, we said it has a “brutal learning curve" with a "unique structure". John Wick creator Derek Kolstad will provide the screenplay for the film. These updates included the addition of a replay editor, modifiers, cheats, and outfits for the character.Ī live-action adaptation of the game has also been announced. Sifu has received several updates since it came out. They went on to add, “ Completing the new Arenas challenges will also unlock new cheats and exclusive new outfits.” “ Successfully completing the arenas will progressively unlock a massive new modifiers batch, which doubles the current game's amount and notably brings alternative moves to the Kung Fu palette of our main character,” the developers told IGN. The Arenas mode is like a survival mode for the game with nine different maps. Also read: Risk of Rain Returns Announced as a Remake With 'Tons of New Content'
