‘Raji: An Ancient Epic’ Is a Beautiful Game That Brings an Authentic Indian Flavour To the Nintendo Switch. Breathtaking visuals and celestial demon-slaying weapons feature in what is India’s biggest console game launch ever.

The big charm of Raji is its unique visual, aural, and scripted landscape, owing to its Indian roots and thanks in part to the fact that it's rarely depicted on screen in the video game arena. We especially loved Raji's background score and sound design

A rare gem, Raji is a stunning game, lovingly hand-crafted with excellent art: towering statues lit in shafts of light, glowing illustrations on the walls, ancient wall murals and carvings, palaces lit with moody lanterns, the city in the distance, and even beautiful ornate doors with sunlight filtering through stained glasses.

It brings a respectful take on Hindu and Balinese mythology, one which has a strong narrative hook that invests you in Raji’s personal adventure whilst offering enjoying gameplay.

'Raji: An Ancient Epic' by Nodding Heads Games is set to usher in fresh Indian flavours

It’s great to see a fantasy setting utterly devoid of orcs and goblins and knights. There’s a lot of interesting new ground to be covered in Indian myth and legend that hasn’t really been touched on in games.

Raji: An Ancient Epic Is A Beautiful Exploration Of Love And Gods.

“Every piece of the game is imbued with elements of Ancient Indian and Southeast Asian history. The developers actually traveled to Bali to gather inspiration from the demonic-looking Indonesian statues for the game's hand-painted art. They've also incorporated handcrafted Mandala puzzles, which play an important role in environmental storytelling and allow for breathing room between bouts of challenging combat

Players will have to fight foes drawn from myth, facing demons and creatures unique to Indian mythology. .

We have already talked about the growth of the indie Italian scene several times, but in this case we focus on a very different scene: the Indian one

It fills my heart with joy to see a game like this being made in a country like India, where developers still focus on developing mobile games, for the sake of swift revenue

Raji: An Ancient Epic was a pleasant surprise. It has an absolutely badass protagonist who revels in demon slaughter, and fun combat to back that up.
