I cannot reccomend this game. The controls are shoddy, the fights are short and pointless and I find the entire game to be an insult to Capoeira. I would understand if the game was in PreAlpha, but it has been around for about 2 years before coming to Steam so the windo for improving it has been open for a long time. The only reason I can see for this...

You have no health rather it is it like a tug o' war and you need to balance not getting tired. The reason for the the thumbs down is the lack of any graphic options even basic resolution....
Waste of 10 Euro's I had. The game lags, there are already zero to no options, and then the music options reverse now and then, blowing my ears out. Next to that, I was doing career and boom, after three matches my character just stood there.... doing nothing, while the other person was trying to hit me... which did not happen. After a few minutes I...
I'm shocked. I thought this game was going to be crappy shovelware, but it's actually pretty good. It's accurate to the practice of capoiera, the controls are fairly responsive (They're a little stiff, but I think they were trying to simulate the rhythm of the berimbau, meaning you can't just hammer away at buttons.) The only thing that's really goofy...
The game is somewhat good but it is not worth your money.
First of all the resolution is low and there are some glitches in the game.
If you get tired in a match sometimes you are unable to move and are unable to take damage for some reason.
