Despite some competent fight choreography and a lead in Ricky Cheng Tien-Chi who has some very decent flow once he starts striking and dodging, Seven Steps of Kung Fu is so terminally derivative in terms of plot and characterizations that I had a really hard time staying engaged, and the overall flat aesthetic of the presentation did nothing to help that. If you've seen more than a dozen kung fu films in your life you'll probably know each character's arc as soon as you see them, and I kinda frightened myself when I jokingly predicted about fifteen minutes in how the last ten seconds of this movie was going to play out. I'd never seen this movie, but too much of what unfolded made me feel like I had.
There's a pretty predictable plot here involving the usual evil general and his terrible plans to ruin everybody's life. This time, he's aided by a group of medallion-toting thugs called The Five Hand Gang and their Five Hand style kung fu can only be beaten by the Seven Steps style. When cocky village layabout Little Tiger (Cheng Tien-Chi) gets caught up in the chaos, he finds he must either grow up and learn the Seven Steps of Kung Fu or see everyone he loves destroyed by the Five Hand Gang.

After witnessing your father's murder followed by being murdered yourself (spoiler), you come back to life from the power of an ancient medallion. You then dedicate the next eight years plotting your revenge, complete with a giant board of pictures and red strings attaching to things relevant to each other like that conspiracy theory guy at work we all avoid. You, filled with the burning desire for revenge, have diligently mastered a form of kung fu known as Pak Mei. Which is presented in what has to be the coolest playable training montage during the intro credits I have ever seen. In a beautiful way, it establishes some base game mechanics for you to learn, all set to the style of a classic martial arts movie-inspired opening.
If you are not up for dedicating yourself to challenging combat that takes determination and skill to succeed, you may want to look elsewhere. Otherwise, if you enjoy kung fu movies and want to play a game that masterfully crafts a playable experience around them, then you should absolutely play Sifu. 2ff7e9595c
