As Epic Games’ holiday giveaway nears its conclusion, it’s ending on a high note. Sifu, the acclaimed 2022 martial arts game, is free to claim from the Epic Games Store—but only until 11 a.m. tomorrow, January 1. This action-packed title combines the precision of martial arts combat with the trial-and-error mechanics of roguelikes, adding a unique twist: the relentless passage of time.

In Sifu, every defeat comes with a cost. Your character's magical amulet resurrects you after death, but you return older, wiser, and closer to your limits. With each life lost, your character visibly ages. While older fighters may hit harder, they also become more fragile, with fewer skills at their disposal. Too many deaths, and you’ll need to restart the level entirely. However, victory over bosses or clearing specific challenges can turn back the clock, shaving years off your death counter.

This free giveaway includes the full game and its Arenas Expansion. For fans wanting to dive deeper into the game’s stunning design, the Art of Sifu artbook is available for just $5.

Don’t be fooled—Sifu is a challenging experience, but its engaging combat system ensures it never feels unfair. Download this modern martial arts masterpiece for free from the Epic Games Store before time runs out!
