Talaka

Talaka is a fast-paced action roguelite where you tear through corrupted legends and twisted folklore creatures across stunning Brazilian hand-painted landscapes. Wield god-blessed weapons, master dynamic runs, and fight alongside the Orishas to restore a mythology on the edge of erasure.

A unique adventure with Dead Cells-like combat, Hades-like run and storytelling structure and thrilling Boss fights.

Every run offers new challenges and god-blessed weapons across 150+ weapon and skill combinations. Dodge, parry, and restore your way through corrupted spirits and twisted beasts in fluid, fast-paced combat, culminating in epic miniboss and Boss encounters that will push everything you've learned to the limit. No two runs ever the same.

Every biome in Talaka is a living painting, from the arid Sertão and the vast Pantanal wetlands to the streets of São Paulo and the dreamlike depths of the Dark Orun. Enemies don't bleed. They burst into ink. By the end of each battle, the screen is your own canvas.

The legends that once guarded these lands are being erased from memory, and as they fade, they've lost themselves to a mysterious corruption. Hunt them down, master their patterns, and fight to restore what the world is forgetting.

Every creature you face in Talaka is rooted in real Brazilian folklore, fauna, and flora. The Mapinguari, the Velho do Saco, the Labatut, the Bathroom Blonde: legends that have haunted Brazilian imagination for centuries, now hunting you in every run. Uncover their origins in Talaka's in-game bestiary, where every enemy has a story worth reading.

Each run makes you stronger. Between runs, spend your earned Ashe to unlock permanent upgrades, boosting your health, dodge, healing, and more. Seek the guidance of Iemanjá, Ogum, Oba, and Eshu, each offering their own blessings to shape your journey.

Talaka analyses your gameplay and suggests the ideal difficulty for your skill level. If you want full control, accessibility options are always available: infinite health, one-hit kills, and more.

Uncover Secrets: Every room hides secrets waiting to be found. Explore beyond the obvious and uncover hidden areas that reward curiosity with rare items and untold stories.

Kill Streak: Defeating enemies increases your damage output, but healing resets your streak. Push your limits or play it safe; the choice is yours every fight.

Brush of Kumbu: Some enemies appear shrouded in the mysterious corruption, absorbing almost all damage dealt to them. A single stroke of the Kumbu brush shatters the shield, exposing them fully. Upgrade and master the brush alongside your weapons to craft the ultimate build.
