Sifu has dropped two new gameplay trailers, which should give everyone a much better idea of what the stylish beat-'em-up is all about.
The first video, embedded above, details the game's crunchy looking combat. As expected of the developer that brought us the brilliantly animated and surprisingly in-depth Absolver, Sifu's action is made up of perfectly timed dodges, defence-breaking parries, and all kinds of moves and combos that have different effects. The system as a whole seems impressively dynamic.
And then there's the unique ageing mechanic that's at the game's core. When you're killed in Sifu, you can choose to revive at the cost of your character's youth. Every death means that you grow older, but there'll come a point where you'll be too aged to actually come back from the dead. Get wiped out for good and you'll have to start over ā but you'll be able to carry across knowledge of enemies and level shortcuts on your next attempt.
All of this should make for quite a tense action title, but are you sold on Sifu? Don't drop your combo in the comments section below.

I love how the combat looks in this game.
Intriguing, looks more dynamic and fluid than most fighting games, reasonable in the quickness of adversaries, most other games it's more a chance than anything if you're gonna react in time and with the right move.
This game promotes ageism š¤ Chuck Norris does not approve
Iām looking forward to this, fingers crossed for a great trophy list too
Will play with psplus like absolver. Looks fun, but maybe a bit too much combo memorization for me.
This game looks so dope! Hope it's super successful!
@AFCC
Me too, this game has seemed very promising since sony released the first video in Feb's state of play event and these videos have just cemented my intrest!
@Pditty1980 the flow of combat was enough to justify my buy, but this seems to have an intriguing story and systems to make the game a bit deeper! So it's hyping me even more
This kinda reminds me of hotline miami a little
After seeing both trailers I am definitely more interested in SIFU, might even buy it day one!
@AFCC...... This game has what the FromSoftware games formula nack.......and that is dying for the sake of dying or being hard...........
