Curto mas maneiro. Gráfitos muito bem feitos e direção de arte excelente. A única parque que não gostei foi que achei o ultimo boss bem chato de derrotar, mas talvez isso referencie a vida real.

jogo de porradaria bacana,critica a história da uma boa narrativa,porém o jogo é bem curto, além de ter bastante bug ainda

Before i begin, I'd like to thank the Steam "Vv0k3 Content" Advisory community for warning me against this game due to its pro-masking and anti-megachurch themes. I never would have known about Pulling No Punches if they weren't trying to stop it. I bought it immediately! Set in a Brazilian city during a pandemic I'll just call "Povid-19", Pulling No Punches has you beating the stuffing out of anyone disobeying safety protocol. Is it legitimately good beyond its shock value? Absolutely. The animations are crisp and seamless, the satire is non-stop (your enemies become mutants after drinking toxic waste as an alleged cure), and the fighting engine is deep- blocking, sidesteps, and food to buy for stat customization. The game also runs well on Steamdeck. Drawbacks? The enemies can be brutal, and combat can feel sluggish if you overcommit to attacks. I would've preferred an air recovery instead of having to hit a button to get up. I also would like an option to remap the controls (dodge roll to taunt button please!). Training is required! But yes, I loved it. Finishing the story campaign only took an evening, but I had a blast pounding sense into idiots and fascists. Thanks, anti-VV0k3 bowdlers!

Probably would be worth more than one playthrough if you played with 3 other people, final boss is kinda hard with only one person. This game seems like Streets of Rage and Scott Pilgrim had a weird looking baby that is serious about Brazilian politics. Music isnt that great but game is ok because I can beat up Christians (including a Kenneth Copeland stand-in) and entitled Karens while giving Cops both middle fingers. If I had the option to change my gender, hair color or burn the American flag, then I could really get my Woke on. But if you just wanted some stupid silly fun or blow off steam because of Covidiots, give this a whirl.

Porra que jogo foda. Adorei as referências de "Streets of Rage" e captei, também, na fala dos policiais algo de Demolition Man (aquele baseado no filme do Stallone e Wesley Snipes). Tá lindo. Vou jogar mais :)
