《Pre Master:sifu》Attempting to create a world that combines "underground gangs" and "traditional martial arts", the main stage of the story is a group of small fishing villages in the south, which developed into a relatively stable coastal town - K-city after the "Dragon's Head War". Martial arts master Hu Zhen received a mysterious letter and went to K-city to discover his brother Hu Jia, who had been missing for many years, who was actually active in K-city. Players will play martial arts master Hu Zhen and receive apprenticeship and education in K-city, Simultaneously tracking the trajectory of his younger brother Hujia, he discovered a huge conspiracy hidden under k-city and fulfilled his own mission. -----------------------playing method------------------------ Attribute cultivation (standard RPG game attribute) Kicking system (six martial arts schools+various challenge modes) Apprentice system (you can receive more apprentices, train your own apprentices and take them out to duel with others, or take them out for a tournament) as the player level rises.

The position and timing of walking are important concepts in the game, and you need to explore them in the game, as long as you use them flexibly, you can play freely and gallop on the battlefield. This is a personal development of an independent game, out of the love of action games, spent years to complete this work, I hope you like! At the same time because of the limited time and manpower so the picture can not do too exquisite, but does not affect the game experience. Welcome to leave your suggestions and comments! I will continue to improve, thank you!
