In India, playing cricket in the tight confines of a gully, or narrow alley, is often more thrilling than on a traditional field. Embracing this unique aspect of Indian street culture, indie studio 5th Ocean Studios has released their latest cricket game, Gully Gangs: Street Cricket, into Open Beta on Android.
Not Your Typical Cricket Sim
Gully Gangs: Street Cricket isn't just another cricket simulation; it's a 4v4 multiplayer experience set right in the heart of Indian gullies. This pioneering 4v4 street cricket game brings the excitement of rooftop catches, dodging scooters, and even dealing with nosy uncles who might scold you for breaking their windows. The fun doesn't stop there—you can also dive into 1v1 matches for a more personal challenge.
The game enhances the experience with power moves and real-time voice chat, allowing you to communicate, taunt opponents with sledging, drop emojis during matches, and even resort to some crafty tricks. The settings are quintessentially Indian, featuring live neighborhood action, broken stumps, makeshift pitches, and unpredictable ball bounces off uneven walls.
Personalization is key in Gully Gangs: Street Cricket, offering a plethora of customization options. You can form your own gang, outfit them in funky styles, and unlock various skins to stand out on the streets.
Gully Gangs: Street Cricket Is Now in Open Beta
5th Ocean Studios is committed to enriching the game further with planned updates, including new street maps, fresh outfits, regular events, clan wars, and eventually, an esports mode. The game will feature leaderboards, daily and weekly challenges, and intense gang vs. gang matchups.
Currently available only on Android, the developers are eyeing expansions to iOS and Steam, with full controller support and cross-platform play in development. If you're eager to experience this unique take on cricket, download Gully Gangs: Street Cricket from the Google Play Store.
