blog.Playstation: "Building on our experience working on martial arts gameplay with Absolver but focusing this time on a single-player game, we wanted with Sifu to offer a unique player experience, heavily drawing from kung fu and martial arts movies. Fighting villains by the dozen in a nightclub, jumping over tables and throwing bottles, we want the player to feel like the main character of a kung fu movie."

“Sifu” is the perfect PS+ game for me. I’m not sure I’d like it so I’d never buy it. But I would like to try it.
Sloclap is closing the book on Sifu with the final update now available on Nintendo Switch, and the reveal of the studio's third title.
The developer did a great job creating a martial arts game with situational attacks, breakable objects, weapon fighting, etc. Not perfect but hitting all the right notes.
Can't wait to see what they do next. A side view fighting game would be awesome. Most fighters today from mortal Kombat and Street Fighter haven't changed their core fighting much and have become stale. Just added light effects with the hits and other modes. But not improved the fight engine. Sloclap has a combat engine that is very good to turn to a fighter next.
They've honestly given this a great deal of support post-launch. Awesome to see they showed that level of care in their project to keep updating it like that. Haven't played it yet, personally. But, their commitment to this title certainly has my attention on them as a studio. I definitely plan to pick it up at some point.
This game seems to be skill based rather button mashy. Me like it :)
Interesting. I think this is a step in the right direction. Fighting games seem to have not evolved from the fast combo formula. Special attacks & Xrays are nice but there needs to be some way to move around an environment as well as using it to tip chances in your favour. It can make for a more dynamic experience.
"...we want the player to feel like the main character of a kung fu movie". You've got my attention, & if you go the Kung Fu Hustle route, even better ;)
