Critically acclaimed upon its release, Sloclap's martial arts-themed action game Sifu is a challenging action-based game in which the protagonist is resurrected at the cost of aging every time he dies.
"Master" is a very good kung fu game, but its volume is not very large, and many players are still unfinished after completing the level. Here we have put together some other kung fu action games that are very worth playing, some of which even directly pay tribute to those famous Hong Kong action movies, and friends who like this genre should not miss it.
Absolver
Published: 2017
Developer: Sloclap
Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One
Prior to Master, developer Sloclap's The Pardon was also a very good action RPG, blending single-player and online multiplayer elements into a martial arts game. The visual style is also very familiar to The Master players, and the French studio is very passionate about martial arts.
The beauty of The Pardon is that players can customize their movements and switch between the four combat postures. In addition, the easy-to-use combat system hides its intrinsic depth level, and the more players play, the more they will find that its system is worth pondering.
《Hitochu Hokuto(Hokuto ga Gakku)》
Published: 2018
Developer: Rulong Studios
Platform: PS4
Developed by the same studio as the "Like a Dragon" series, "Beidou among People" is arguably the best action game based on IP adaptation. It was made using the same engine as the Dragon series, but infused with a kung fu style inspired by a mix of traditional martial arts and Bruce Lee's Boxing.
The Beidou among Men combat system is more tolerant than Master's, but the sense of strength and speed can still make players addicted. Like its sister series, Big Dipper among Men's Combat system is reminiscent of classic arcade fighting games of the 80s and 90s.
9 Monkeys of Shaolin
Published: 2020
Developer: Sobaka
Platforms: Linux, macOS, PC, PS4, Xbox One
If the game developed by Rulong Studios is reminiscent of an arcade game, then Shaolin Nine Martial Monkeys makes this side-scrolling fighting game completely embrace the past. The Nine Monkeys of Shaolin is inspired by the classic fantasy kung fu movies of the 1970s.
Backed by a beautiful art style and smooth combat, martial arts fans will love Shaolin Nine Martial Monkeys. In addition, the game also supports cooperative play, of course, you can also kill seven in and seven out alone.
God Hand
Published: 2006
Developer: Clover Studios
Platform: PS2
Released in 2006, Hand of God was created in collaboration with Shinji Mikami, the father of Resident Evil, and Atsushi Inaba, producer of the Red Man Joey series. It draws a lot of inspiration from the Big Dipper God Fist.
The fighting style is quirky and hilarious, and the action system is so excellent that players will never get tired of the rogues and villains in the sea flat funny inside. It offers a variety of fighting styles, including the Drunken Master style, which is easy to get started but excellent in depth.
Judge series
Release time: 2018, 2021
Developer: Rulong Studios
平台：PC、PS4、PS5、Stadia、Xbox One、Xbox Series X/S
As a companion series to the Dragon Series, JUDGMENT EYES: Death's Last Words and its sequel, Lost Judgment: Judgment Judgment: Lost Judgment: Screenshots. Although set on the streets of Tokyo, its combat system uses kung fu martial arts styles such as cranes, tigers, and snakes.
Once again, Dragon Studios draws inspiration from classic arcade games such as Street Fighter. However, the Trial series is arguably the best real-time combat system the studio has ever made. In addition, players who like detectives will also love this game that solves crimes on the streets and defeats the bad guys.
Jade Empire
Published: 2008
Developer: BioWare
Platforms: Android, iOS, macOS, PC, Xbox
As one of BioWare's last experimental works, Emerald Empire was loved by fans and has been hoping that the developers will return to expand it into an entire series. The game uses a similar moral system to Knights of the Old Republic, but combines Chinese mythology and martial arts with selection mechanisms of "open palm" and "closed fist".
Unlike Knights of the Old Republic, the Emerald Empire's combat system is real-time. The fighting style and animation are based on action superstars Bruce Lee, Jet Li, Jackie Chan and Yang Ziqiong. The system is easy to pick up and easy to use, which is a treat for martial arts fans who love Chinese legends and stories.
Jet Li: Rise To Honor
Published: 2004
Developer: Foster City Studios
Released specifically for PS2, Jet Li: Battle for Righteous Pride features face models and motion capture provided by martial arts star Jet Li. The game was unique at the time of its release, as it used full 360-degree combat at the time, using a PS2 gamepad to simulate a joystick.
The presentation of this game is more like an interactive movie, it is not as harsh or ruthless as other games, but it is still challenging enough to attach great importance to timing and quick response. There are many allusions to Jet Li's films and the shooting mechanism of bullet time in the game, which is very in the style of Wu Yusen's films.
Sleeping Dogs
Published: 2012
Developer: United Front Games
Platforms: macOS, PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One
"Bloody Scoundrel" is not just another "Give Him Love", it is a love letter to Hong Kong action movies. The game uses a multi-directional system similar to That of Batman: Arkham Knight and Master. Bloody Rogue is fast and fluid, and like Master, it makes players feel like they're part of a Hong Kong action movie.
Set in backstory of undercover police infiltrating the triad and Hong Kong is exciting. In addition, its solid script is supported by talented voice actors. Martial arts enthusiasts will also love the in-game Zodiac Tournament, an in-game tournament inspired by Bruce Lee's iconic movie Dragon Fight.
