Sifu is a revenge story told through a meticulously designed beat 'em up action game. You walk in the shoes of a young Pak Mei Kung-Fu who embarks on an epic quest to avenge their fallen master. Set in the backdrop of a stylized fictional Chinese city, players must hone their best kung fu abilities mastered through years of training to take down their master’s murderers one by one. With each failure, you grow older and wiser, though with fewer years to spare than before. Time is the price you will pay for revenge. Either adapt and learn from your foes, or you will meet your demise.
