Fight your way across Indian mythology in this hack-and-slash inspired by God of War and Dark Souls. This single-player adventure game was created entirely in India, and it give serious attention to storytelling. The creators drew from ancient Indiana tales like the Mahabharata and Ramayana epics and Pahari-style painting techniques. The result is a refreshingly original game that will transport gamers to new territory, even though the combat mechanics and leveling system lack inspiration.
Originally, the game was launched via Kickstarter but failed to meet its funding goal. Over time, due to the game’s unique story and use of the Unreal Engine 4, the development team secured several million dollars in grants. This led to a polished appearance, with many reviewers praising the breathtaking, original graphics and appealing soundtrack.
Raji is especially popular among Indian players, including YouTube celebrities. Unlike epic roleplaying games made in the United States or Europe about non-European cultures, Raji was made by people from the culture that inspired it. Gamers willing to overlook the average control scheme can enjoy the beautiful curves of traditional Indian architecture and the sound of sitar music without any guilt.
