Taking out enemies without getting hit will boost your combo meter and increase your score on the level as well. The idea is that players should use their arsenal of attacks and dodges to gain XP and unlock more moves. In most levels players will be tasked with taking on large crowds of opponents at one time. In doing so though it really only succeeds at being mediocre on both parts. I (don’t) know Kung-Fu Sifu's gameplay is marred by lack of quality controls.Īt its core Sifu attempts to pull of a roguelike brawler that walks the line somewhere between a soulsborne experience and the combat of the Batman Arkham series. The soundtrack is solid, though, and shines particularly bright in the nightclub level with a smattering of intense techno house music. Whatever stylization the devs were attempting I don’t think they quite pulled it off. I noticed a lot of clipping in things like cutscenes and when fighting enemies pushed up against the wall and most of the faces in Sifu look like something from the PS1 era. The cel shading effects coupled with no real outlines on any characters or objects and a lot of jagged edges tends to make the world of Sifu look blurry. Unfortunately there’s a distinct lack of detail to most things. Each area is packed with decor, whether it’s piles of trash and wooden debris in the warehouse district, or several displays of modern art in a gallery exhibit, Sifu really does try to bring its areas to life.
Sifu definitely makes an attempt at creating a cinematic environment for players to traverse.
but after playing through a level several times and hearing all the dialog options it doesn’t really seem to change much in the end, or at least it didn’t for me, but we’ll get to the repetition a little later. There are some spots where players will get to make some dialog choices and depending on how you react you could either end up in a big brawl or avoid a confrontation completely. However, the plot is pretty light from level to level and only really plays out in the boss fights. Sounds like a great set up for some action-packed rumbles, right? Players will choose between a male and female persona before diving head first into an adventure that will take them through warehouses, nightclubs, fancy museums and more on their quest to take out their master’s killers. It’s up to players to punch, kick, and dodge their way through an evil cartel as they work to take out its general before facing the final boss. In Sifu, players take on the role of a young disciple seeking revenge for the murder of their Kung-Fu master. Kung-Fu Theater Sifu tells the tale of a student out for revenge for their master's death. However, it doesn’t quite hit the mark for a number of reasons. Sifu is the latest offering from the devs at Sloclap and it attempts to pay homage to those films by offering up a Kung-Fu inspired action roguelike. The films of martial arts celebrities like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan have endeared the genre to fans for decades now.
Martial arts action films have had a strong influence over American popular culture through the years.
