Capoeira Origins for Windows

Quick summary

Capoeira Origins is a premium side-scrolling action-adventure for PC from Mobo Games. Set in colonial Brazil, the game centers on Capoeira — the Afro-Brazilian martial art that blends dance, acrobatics, and rhythm — and follows a band of freedom fighters resisting slavery and oppression.

Story and setting

Players view a brutal, turbulent era through the eyes of a group of Capoeristas who take a stand against cruelty. The narrative follows their struggle to liberate enslaved communities and restore dignity, with missions that traverse rural plantations, towns, and other period locations across colonial Brazil.

Combat and gameplay highlights

• Learn and perform a variety of Capoeira techniques that fuse dance-like movement with lethal timing.
• Face off against soldiers, overseers, and other agents of oppression as you work to free captive people.
• Progress through many distinct environments that reflect different regions and challenges of the period.
• Select from multiple playable fighters, each offering unique moves and playstyles.

The combat emphasizes rhythm and flow: chaining attacks, positioning, and acrobatic counters are as important as raw power.

Characters and levels

Capoeira Origins offers five playable characters, each representing different backgrounds and specialties within the Capoerista group. Players will explore 16 unique locations, with each stage designed to evoke the atmosphere and hardships of the era while providing varied encounters and objectives.
