Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
Forge powerful builds with endless loot in this relentless combination of roguelike and action RPG. Blast through dungeons and unleash inhuman powers in a dark fantasy twist on Brazil’s War of Canudos.
The Clock is Ticking
In the 19th century, Canudos became a refuge for thousands. When its people defied the new Republic, they faced brutal retaliation, leaving 25,000 dead.
Play as Pajeu, a warrior fighting to rescue the soul of The Counselor, his fallen mentor. With each descent, time warps, and your power grows as you confront the dark forces that claimed his head and trapped his soul.
