Fighting game players, specifically SF should love this game.

This is the most engaging gameplay combat in a game I've enjoyed since astral chains.


This is also the kind of combat I'd like to see in action games and things going forward.

Not saying it has to be a roguelite but man spiderman with engaging and thought provoking combat plus crazy combos would be sick

It's funny man, I was thinking the same thing about if Spiderman had a bit of this sort of combat tied into his spidey arsenal. shyt would be epic. By design of Spiderman being who he is and it being a superhero game, you wouldn't have to make it as punishing as this for sure, but they could definitely tie a grip of the core mechanics into spiderman and just go left with it with a superhero lean.

It sounds backhanded but it really is the best compliment I can give them: this system being a part of a AAA would be :wow: imagine tossing some Max Payne 3 gunplay into the formula and going full John Wick wit it

Holy shyt! :gladbron: I just cleared the first level without dying! Vid upload pending.:banderas:

ya that’s today’s goal…it’s very doable but I get careless in that crowded area right before you get to the fat guy and the 2 minions guarding the boss…I got about 21/24 perks…once I make it past that stage w/o dying and I unlock all the perks, I’ll have no reason to revisit level 1

Parrying is great for dealing with mobs and regulars while the Evade is great for bosses.

Sifu, like Absolver, makes defensive options as fun as offensive options and I love it

for me parry has been great for the mini-bosses in level 2–“bruce leroy”, chic at the top of the stairs, chic with the staff and the 2 after her…it’s helped me beat the 1st/2nd level bosses a lot quicker too…I more so use evade for crowds

=idk if im ever gonna make it through the squats with no deaths. The purple mist goons just always catch me

stick and moving works best for me…I be having them chase me all over that warehouse :mjlol:

then I’ll stop and fukk a few up then k.i.m.

I can usually “stealth” attack 3 for an instant takedown before I’m spotted then I’ll lead the rest upstairs where I can hold them off from surrounding me…the thing is on the occasions I’ve made it out from there w/o getting killed then the damn boss kills me in the 1st round off a sloppy mistake but it can be done tho…I swear I’m getting it done today
