Brazil is not exactly known for its game development scene, but Dandara is an awesome outlier. In my opinion, the best game ever produced by my countryman... you should check it out! It's a metroidvania with a twist in its gameplay, with great lore, setting and superb soundtrack! My only gripe is the short window of Invincibility frames when you get hit: you can get wrecked pretty fast against multiple projectiles!

Dandara is one of the most original Metroidvanias I ever played. Rather than walking and jumping, like traditional platformers, you leap from one surface to the next. The uniqueness of the transversal is executed with near perfection. As is the case with any Metroidvania, you gain new abilities that will give you access to new areas. While moving from one area to the next, you will encounter boss battles that are very satisfying to battle, as they have patterns that you need to learn. As for the story, it's easily the weakest aspect of the game. Everything is symbolic and very cryptic. I simply don't care to turn myself into a Charlie Day meme to figure out what's going on. Story aside, the game is a must play for any Metroidvania fan. Dandara is regularly on sale for less than $5, and at that price, the game is a steal.

absolute peak game. soundtrack is undoubtedly one of the best i've ever heard, right up there with undertale, minecraft, and terraria. the story is beautiful if you care to look at it closely, and the game is overall an immensely detailed masterpiece. 10/10.

The game is a little fetch-questy in the late game when it comes to fulfiling the conditions for the true ending, but other than that this is a beautiful and fun game. The art and music are gorgeous and the mechanics and lore are inspired. I started and finished this right after the 2024 election so playing a game where you fight as the literal avatar of creative freedom against an oppressive regime really hit for me and cemented that freedom and art and expression are something that's always worth fighting for. 8.5/10
