Jordan Layani, Sloclap Co-Founder, Sifu Creative Director, Game & Level Design Lead: Absolver was our first game, we had to do everything from scratch. What lessons learned during the creation of Absolver were applied to the fighting mechanics and controls used for Sifu? When Absolver came out in 2017, it impressed a lot of critics with an approach to combat that was fluid and dynamic. We chatted with the Paris-based development team about the game’s inspiration, the evolution of the studio’s praise-worthy combat system, and its many influences from movies to video games. The result is a game steeped in praise, earning near-perfect review scores from a plethora of publications. In Sifu, Sloclap’s much-anticipated second title, the choreographic combat of Absolver is honed through the mastery of the real-world techniques of Pak Mei kung fu, and the game is given both a compelling revenge storyline and creative aging mechanic that balances out that liquid-smooth combat with a compelling cost to in-game failure.
