Featuring the gripping intensity of classic Kung Fu films with realistic and raw combat, Sifu tells the story of a young Kung Fu student who has spent their life training for a day of reckoning after the brutal murder of their entire family by a mysterious assassination squad. Hunt down the murderers one by one as you explore gang-ridden suburbs, hidden corners deep within the city, all the way to the cold hallways of corporate towers. Adaptation and careful positioning are the key to your survival and you must use everything at your disposal to succeed in your life’s mission. 

Sifu’s unique gameplay sits in the crossroads of two established and popular genres, mashing the intensity and timeless thrill of beat em ups with the gripping design of 3D character action games. Set against a detailed backdrop of a fictional Chinese city, you will uncover an ancient mystery via a series of difficult confrontations that will test your skills to their limit. To overcome the odds that are heavily stacked against you, you’ll need to rely on your mastery of Kung Fu, and on a magical pendant that will revive you after death. The cost of magic is dear, however, and you will age significantly every time you come back to life: time is the price you will pay for your revenge. 

Set across various locations in the city, from rooftops in the slums of the city, filled with dealers and junkies, to the immaculate rooms of a contemporary art museum and set to a fiery soundtrack, Sifu gives you 24 hours to enact your revenge for the death of your family.

Exquisitely hand-drawn art styles and the muted color palette lend themselves to Kung Fu film classics where themes of revenge and redemption are timeless tales, all perfectly blending with Sloclap’s martial arts gameplay expertise, to create a truly unique singleplayer Kung Fu game. 

Developer Sloclap revealed that Sifu has achieved one million units sold in its first three weeks of general availability.

To date there have been more than 10 million hours played. Of the 1mm+ players, more than 45 percent have completed the challenging second level of the game, and are now on their way to completing their vengeance. Over 150,000 players have already mastered Kung Fu enough to beat Yang, the game’s main antagonist. Special congratulations to those who have managed to grow beyond their vengeance, and have now achieved Wude, i.e. - the game’s true ending. 

“We are thrilled by the reception of Sifu from both fans and press alike,” said Pierre Tarno, executive producer at Sloclap. “We set out to create an authentic, Kung Fu action game that paid homage to our favorite Kung Fu films. We’re thankful for our fans around the world but we are especially humbled by the incredible reception the game has had in China. Our internal metric of success was how well the game was received there and knowing that fans in China are the largest segment of our sales outside of North America and the positive reviews from Chinese critics means a lot to us.” 

Alexis Garavaryan, CEO of Kepler Interactive, said, “The team at Sloclap crafted something truly exceptional that resonated with audiences across the world. Sifu is an overnight success years in the making that started with Absolver and the team’s aspiration to redefine the standard for martial arts games. We also thank our friends at PlayStation and Epic who gave us absolute world-class support and visibility.”
