- Players drawn to rhythm-based combat and Brazilian cordel
- Worth noticing
- The four-hit ABAB sequence uses matching end sounds to open an opponent’s guard; a broken rhyme interrupts your own move.
Field notes
In the sample, Tião’s end words guide the player’s four-line reply, and the page displays a hit count out of four. The story frames the duel around two drought-struck villages negotiating access to one well; Zefa is 57, while her blind poet and mentor Badu is 63. The page says the playtest is open on PC, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2, though the extracted page exposes a signup prompt rather than a playable build download.
