You start to challenge yourself to defeat levels while ageing as little as possible but the game is tough. As you get stronger and gain XP, more moves can be unlocked and sorted into categories. As you age you get stronger but your total HP gets lower. Soon enough you are looking like a classic Kung Fu master from a Shaw Brothers movie. His hair starts turning grey, wrinkles appear and his beard gets longer. Every time you are killed whether by a boss or mid-level your character goes away trains some more and returns in a few years looking notably older. The main character has been in training all that time to enact his revenge on their father’s killers. 8 Years pass and now you control the Sifus, son or daughter, depending on your choice. The Sifus son and main character of the game who is only a child attacks you and is defeated. You fight your way through the Sifus dojo with your Henchmen before defeating and killing the Sifu. It has a unique system where your character ages every time you are defeated. Its initial ratings are on average between 7-9 star ratings based on the IGN and Game Spot, the public perception has also been very positive because there has been no significant difference whether the player is playing it on a console or pc platform. Revolving around tragedy and the quest in getting good old fashion revenge for a death of a loved one is something that can only be seen in movies adapting it into a video game format has given the players a unique taste, despite the combat system being similar into other video game genres such as the Batman Arkham Series. The strong side of the game is the story it tells to its players since it is family-related and has captured the hearts and minds of the players, plus there have not been any martial arts games that emphasize the culture, discipline, and dark side of martial arts especially being able to link it with organized crime. The visuals of the game can be seen as high-quality 3D graphics making it more cartoonish, unlike other video games where the graphics are very intense and realistic especially if paired with powerful graphics cards, the game also features alternative endings depending on the player’s decision in letting the bosses live or killed them in the final scene. Most of the enemies are gangsters, and drug traffickers who are considered to be members of the criminal underworld. The game’s narrative is fairly tragic and full of vengeance which is why the game is more about getting revenge on his Father’s killer. Unlike other martial arts video games, SIFU has a different combat system which makes it more realistic as much as possible because the character can counter or parry with its enemies creating a more deadly manoeuvre to take-down opponents with ease, players can also grab weapons such as swords, BO’s and knives that can be used to take down enemies. It was released last February 2022 selling over 1-million copies. The platform of the game when it came out was PC. The third-person perspective has made players more immersed in the genre and gameplay making it as exciting as much as possible. The game is based on real martial arts movements such as Kung Fu, Jujitsu, Karate, and Taekwondo wherein players get to use the cool moves of martial arts that we normally see in the movies, plus the character can level up and gain experience points that would be used in gaining more powerful attacks that can be very handy when it comes to facing powerful boss fights. It tells the story of the main character who seeks vengeance against those who are responsible for the death of his father at the hand of his former student, Yang. SIFU is a martial arts video game developed and published by a French base studio Siloclap, the game is set in modern China where players control the son of a martial arts schoolmaster.
