This game supposed to be rougelite

[𝕊𝕠𝕡𝕙𝕚𝕒]

Here is why:
You have bilion ressurections when you die and you can even reply each level to get younger age so the entire idea of age being carried as you progressing from level to level makes no sense.

You have Shrine rewards, but you can't get all of them in single run without cheats.

You have skill system which is cool until you realise it doesn't make sense because you can permanently unlock all skills and once you do getting experience makes no use.

Game is short 5 levels only you can finish it under 2 h or under half if you using shortcut


Conclusion Sifu is great game but it would be better if
nr 1 due to duration of gameplay levels would be generated randomly
nr 2 arena and challenges would be part of actual levels in game rather than seperate game mode


tell me what you think about it
sorry bad eng.

Don't think of this game like a Roguelite. Think of it like an arcade game.
Your age is your number of continues.

It is what it is. Its small, but what it sets out to do it does exceedingly well. I almost see it as a tech demo for their next game, which will hopefully be way bigger and ambitious, with more styles to use, or even different playable character archetypes (drunken boxer, shaolin monk, etc.).

"Roguelite" would be the mystery dungeon games.[forums.penny-arcade.com] "roguelike but with meta-progress"
"Roguelike" would be like Rogue[playclassic.games]
Read this
Neither roguelike nor roguelite are what this is, and because of that, this game lacks the disability access that would make it playable for people who actually want/need things relative to or "like" the game "Rogue"

I've enjoyed my time with it. The age mechanic is enough to make me want to replay levels and master enemy encounters. I don't really care about the genre label slapped on it. I do agree that there is room for improvement. Hopefully, we get a sequel.

We are talking about a game where they pronounce sifu "see foo" until 1.073.464 to be fair
