Our take on Kandidatos
The focus on a political martial-arts tournament narrows the experience to themed combat, leaving less room for the exploration, role-playing, or management systems found in broader genres.
What is Kandidatos?
Kandidatos is a 3D fighting game built around a martial arts tournament featuring fictional characters inspired by Brazilian electoral candidates.
