About This Game

Fight for freedom: Dandara of Palmares

Brazil, 17th century. In the heart of the largest sanctuary of resistance in Latin America rises Dandara: leader, hunter, warrior and master of capoeira. Fight relentless colonial forces across procedurally generated wilderness, rescue your captive people, lead them to safety and call on the Orixás to overcome impossible odds.

The art and rhythm of capoeira

Chain authentic capoeira moves: rasteiras, meia-lua de compasso, martelos, overhead kicks and the fast stick strikes of maculelê. A dynamic skill tree reshapes your fighting style every run.

Blessings of the Orixás

Channel the iron fury of Ogum, the winds of Iansã, the healing tides of Yemanjá, the thunder of Xangô, the hunter's aim of Oxóssi and the open crossroads of Exu. Max out a blessing to trigger a full divine transformation that wipes out entire hordes.

Rescue and rebuild

Every life counts. Freed allies empower Dandara during the run and return to the Quilombo, where you invest in permanent upgrades: health, axé regeneration, movement speed, damage and rerolls. Journey through jungle trails, mountain rivers and the historic defense of Cerca dos Macacos.
