New Sifu mod lets players enjoy the game as John Wick
Sifu, Slocap's first game since Absolver, a martial arts-themed action roleplaying video game, was released over four years ago. This game is a playable martial arts film that combines dramatic, quick-hitting hand-to-hand combat with a unique, roguelike aging process that heightens the difficulty and keeps the action exciting.
The game also tries to replicate the depth of Chinese martial arts films' narratives. Players assume the character of a Kung Fu student charged with avenging their father by murdering five martial arts instructors who murdered him years ago. Sifu's distinctive structure is built on this struggle.
A skilled modder has swapped the game's main protagonist with John Wick, letting players assume the role of the famed fictional assassin and reenact the famous Club scene from the original film. Despite being a cinematic legend, John Wick's fame led to multiple video game spin-offs and a few cameo appearances in other games.
Sifu's John Wick reskin was developed by THE BEYONDERS and featured on Dan Allen Gaming's channel. The player reenacts an iconic sequence from the first John Wick film, in which the assassin shoots and battles his way out of a neon-lit nightclub.
The scenario, which takes place in the game's early Club dance floor section, is eerily similar to the film, with close-quarters combat, neon lighting, and music blasting while foes are taken out one by one.
Fast-paced hand-to-hand action is blended with masterfully crafted Gun-fu battle sequences in John Wick. Although the game is solely made up of intense close-quarters fighting with no gunplay, the parallels are obvious, and the game's numerous takedown animations are a natural fit for the assassin.
