What is Sifu?
Sifu is a third-person kung-fu action game released in 2022. You play a young student out to avenge your family, taking on an entire gang alone. The twist is a magical amulet: every time you fall, you come back to life but older. Age makes you hit harder but lowers your maximum health, and past a certain age there is no coming back.
The game is known for its deep martial arts system, painterly visual style and unforgiving difficulty. On Steam, Sifu holds about 92% positive reviews from more than 29,000 players.
What changes on mobile?
Sloclap says Sifu on mobile includes the complete story campaign, with nothing cut. To suit touchscreens, the team built new touch controls, improved contextual interactions with the environment and reworked the camera. If you want a console feel, full controller support is included.
The iOS version requires iOS 18 or later and is about 2.11 GB. Google Play pricing and Android requirements have not been announced yet.
Wait for mobile or buy on PC?
If you have a PC, this is hard to pass up: Sifu is 75% off at $9.99 on Steam during the Steam Autumn Sale, which ends on October 8. The mobile version suits players who want to play on the go, or who already own a controller for their phone. A game that demands precise reflexes like Sifu is certainly more comfortable with real buttons.
OtaHub’s take
Bringing Sifu to mobile is a sensible move for Sloclap, the studio also behind the football game Rematch. The big question is feel: Sifu’s parries, dodges and combos demand precise timing, and touchscreens struggle to replace buttons. Sloclap’s emphasis on controller support suggests the team knows it.
At $7.99 in the US for the complete game, Sifu mobile is one of the more notable premium ports of the year, especially for players without a PC or console.
