Sifu‘s story.
“We are thrilled by the reception of Sifu from both fans and press alike, “said Pierre Tarno of 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’re especially humbled by the incredible reception the game has had in China. The success of our internal metric 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 positive reviews from Chinese critics means a lot to us. “
