This game has an unique subject, focused on Brazilian history during the 19th century. The storytelling is interesting and immersive, especially for those who don't know about the historical outcome. I'm not really a fan of the management genre, but the story kept me going, even though I'm bad at it. That speaks volumes about the game. I highly recommend...

Banzo is a game that shows a dark period of Brazil's history, when slavery was still acceptable. However, the engaging storytelling made me feel the chapters in a unique way, and I really could appreciate the strength and determination of that people represented in the plot, commanded by the strong figure of Queen Zeferina. The style of the game requires...
This is a nice game with an unique story. Pixelart is great and combined with the isometric view reminds me Final Fantasy Tactics art style. The game is a bit slow, but is okay for a management game, I guess. The sound track is particulary wonderful, I must say.

I recomend if you'll like this style of game, or just...
