Sifu is a beat ’em up action-adventure game that will be available for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 that has been developed by Sloclap. The developers are responsible for the well-known action role-playing game, Absolver. Sifu shares a similar flowing combat style, with an emphasis on kung fu, and features a wide-variety of unique attacks that can be chained together.
One of the unique features of Sifu is the aging mechanic. When you die in the game, your character is resurrected but you will have aged several years. As you get older, you will become able to hit harder but your health pool will become smaller. Hopefully, once you reach middle age, your character will have a good mix of health and strength.
