Sanfu

Sanfu asks for patience more than reflexes, and that usually tells you what kind of game it is. By our assessment, it is the sort of title that matters mainly through its own premise and mood, so the appeal is likely to be strongest for players who enjoy unfamiliar indie work and do not need everything explained up front. The downside of that kind of game is the usual one: if the idea does not click, there is not much else to lean on. In practice these games tend to live or die on their interface, pacing, and how cleanly they teach their rules, and Sanfu is likely to be judged by that same standard. It sits in the broad space of small personal games rather than big systems-heavy ones. Sanfu is the kind of title people try for its odd shape, not for endless mechanical depth.
