What will the story and gameplay of Sifu?
The story of Sifu It will revolve around a young martial arts apprentice determined to take revenge on the group of assassins that wiped out his family. Unfortunately, time will not be on your side. With his limited knowledge of kung fu, he will have to manage to finish off all his enemies in one night. However, it will have an element in its favor: an amulet that will bring you back to life every time you die. However, this resurrection will not be free. Every time he returns from the dead, the protagonist will grow old. This will not only cause a change in the protagonist’s appearance, but will increase his attack in exchange for his maximum life. Not least, the number of resurrections is limited.
Regarding the combat system, it will revolve around the so-called “Structure system”. This consists of a bar that will have both the protagonist and his enemies. If an opponent’s structure is destroyed, the protagonist can finish it off with a shot. If the latter’s structure bar is filled in, it will be unable to defend itself for a while.
Although attacking opponents will cause your structure bar to fill up, counterattacks will serve that purpose as well. Unlike being on guard, which will not prevent the protagonist’s bar from filling up, these will have no cost. However, there will be attacks that cannot be blocked or deflected. In this case, it will be preferable to dodge.
In addition to these defensive options, the protagonist can learn new techniques and improve them after dying, defeating bosses or in shrines. This will allow players to create their own fighting style. However, the methodology will always be the same: use the environment – be it as a weapon, defense or escape – to subdue groups of enemies.
