Luckily, our unnamed protagonist possesses a magical talisman that has the power to bring them back to life, and as you’ve probably guessed, they choose to dedicate the rest of their existence to training in kung fu for revenge purposes. One of the victims caught in the murderous rampage happens to be our real main character, who was 12 at the time. You rock up to a kung fu school with four of your best buds, kill everybody you run into, and then make like a tree and get outta there. It’s raining ominously for one, and (maybe more immediately noticeable), you’re not playing as the guy on the box art. When Sifu starts, though, something feels slightly off. It looks at the classics, then the modern descendants of that style, and finally puts its own unique twist on the whole thing. It’s a passionate celebration of what makes the genre so good. It’s not a tired bundle of tropes packaged together with an ironic detachment.
You don’t need to be a kung fu film fanatic to appreciate this action game, though. Well, with Sifu, my childhood dream is now a reality. Not the actual guy, but the version of him in those movies, where he could clear out entire rooms using luck, martial arts and whatever he had within arm’s reach. A rewarding and excellently made third-person action game with fantastic level design, and plenty of passion for kung fu.Īs far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be Jackie Chan.
