Sifu is now available on Android, bringing Sloclap’s 2022 kung-fu beat ’em up to mobile with the complete story campaign and a $7.99 price on the Google Play Store. The game drops you into the role of a martial arts master’s child hunting their father’s killers across a China-set narrative, and it includes the same resurrection mechanic where a mysterious amulet revives you at the cost of aging your character.
The combat keeps the original’s Bak Mei (Pak-Mei) inspiration intact: Sifu features more than 150 unique attacks you can chain into combos, with specific combinations that open extra knockdown or stun options. Both player and enemy have a structural gauge that fills when they block or take pressure; breaking an opponent’s guard leaves them vulnerable to finishers that also restore health. Aging after each resurrection increases attack power but lowers total health, and once the character becomes too old death becomes permanent, forcing a level restart at the age you first attempted it.
For mobile, Sloclap added new touch controls, enhanced contextual interactions and a reworked camera system, and Kepler Interactive is publishing the release. Sifu Mobile also supports full controllers, and the announcement links to a mobile launch trailer. You can download Sifu on Android from the Google Play Store today for $7.99.
Quick aside: Droid Gamers’ story also points to another mobile arrival — Narrative RPG The Witch’s Bakery is coming to mobile via Crunchyroll. If you liked the idea of story-heavy RPGs next to your melee-heavy afternoons, you might want to note that title.
Why it matters
Takeaway: With the entire campaign, the original death-and-aging loop, over 150 attacks, newly designed touch controls and full controller support at a $7.99 buy-once price, Sifu’s Android build aims to deliver the full desktop experience on phones — and it keeps the game’s core risk-versus-reward loop intact on a handheld device.
