SIFU

SIFU is rated M for Mature 17+ by the ESRB with Blood, Drug Reference, Strong Language, and Violence. This is an action game in which players assume the role of a martial artist on a quest for vengeance against a gang. As players infiltrate the gang's hideout, they use punches and kicks to defeat gang members in frenetic melee-style combat. Players can pick up various objects (e.g., pipes, bottles, baseball bats) to use as weapons against enemies. Combat is highlighted by cries of pain, impact sounds, and close-up camera angles of finishing blows. Enemies sometimes emit splashes of blood when hit, leaving small blood stains on the ground. One cutscene depicts a character stabbed with a knife and bleeding out. In a hideout level, players can encounter a drug called Purple Mist, which is depicted as a mound of purple powder and cut lines; text and dialogue also reference drugs (e.g., “The drug produced here”; “Junkies. I don't think they'll be a problem.).
