Martial arts action game Sifu has turned up to be one of the surprise hits of the year, and while there are some who love the challenge of the standard game, there are other less experienced players who want in on the fun without the frustration.
Enter Sifu’s new difficulty setting, which will go live tomorrow:
When it comes to the student setting, the game allows for less aggressive AI, as well as a slower aging process when it comes to the protagonist.
On the flip side though, the Master setting will allow for enemies to be more aggressive, and bosses have been given new fight patterns in order to make them harder to predict.
This update is only the first of many that will be coming to Sifu throughout the course of the year. After the difficulty setting upgrade, the game is set to have gameplay modifiers, as well as some advanced scoring, come summertime.
For a complete look at that list, you can check here.
Sifu is the new game of Sloclap, the independent studio behind Absolver. A third-person action game featuring intense hand-to-hand combat, it puts you in control of a young Kung-Fu student on a path of revenge. Sifu is set against a detailed backdrop of a fictional Chinese city where players uncover an ancient mystery via a series of difficult confrontations that test their skills to the limit.
To overcome seemingly insurmountable odds, fighters need to rely on a mastery of Kung Fu and a magical pendant that revives them after death. The cost of magic is dear, however, and drastically ages a fighter with each revival: time is the price paid for revenge.
Sifu is now playable for PlayStation 4|5 and PC. The first update comes to the game on May 3.
