This would be all well and good if you had any kind of healing item, but the only way to heal in Sifu is to beat enemies. With just 4-5 hits from a regular goon, not even special enemies, can down your entire health bar add in 7 enemies who can attack at the same time and that’s a problem. What makes the game even more challenging is the amount of damage enemies can do. While Sifu has given me the tools required to deal with these poorly disciplined and rude enemies, my reflexes are not on par with that of an actual Kung fu master. But when you are surrounded, the unspoken rule of one enemy attacking at a time, that has been forged into game design for decades has been tossed out the window as multiple enemies hit you from each direction together and all too often. When you are on a roll, the combat allows you to feel like you are directing your own Kung fu film and you as the faster than lightning hero, can swat the enemies away like flies. Every hit strikes with satisfying power when you are not constantly being blocked or simultaneously hit by multiple opponents. You can also throw environment objects such as stools or bottles with a tap of the bumper and pick up weapons to awaken your inner dragon.Ĭombat is fast, complex and extremely involved.

Thanks to the mystical powers of a magical charm, their death results in rebirth but with each rebirth, they age. To avenger the butchering of their father, they must embark on a literal journey of growth and wage a one-man/woman war on the 5 conspirators. As the all too known Kung fu revenge story, Sifu follows the blood beaten path of a nameless son or daughter (depending on player choice) seeking to avenge their father/Sifu (Teacher).
