Sifu developer's next game will give football a fresh perspective


The next game from Sifu and Absolver developer Sloclap won't be an action game, but instead aims to give football a fresh perspective.

Sloclap wants players to think like professionals and check teammates on the minimap too, while defenders are given an advantage through the lack of fouls, meant to incentivise cooperation from attackers. As for the game name, it's meant to promote resilience and getting back on the pitch after a defeat - a bit like the determination required to get to the end of roguelike Sifu. "An elegant martial arts meditation on temporality and self-possession, set in a loving but touristy idea of China," reads our Sifu review.
