Cricket in the narrow alleys of India, or 'gullies,' often brings more joy than playing on a traditional field. Capturing this essence, the indie Indian studio 5th Ocean Studios has launched their latest cricket game, Gully Gangs: Street Cricket, into Open Beta on Android.
Not Your Usual Cricket Sim
Gully Gangs: Street Cricket breaks the mold with its unique 4v4 multiplayer format, set amidst the vibrant chaos of Indian gullies. This game marks the first-ever 4v4 street cricket experience, complete with rooftop catches, scooters obstructing your play, and the inevitable shouts from nosy uncles concerned about their windows. Adding to the fun, you can also enjoy a 1v1 mode.
The game enhances the experience with power moves and real-time voice chat, allowing you to communicate, taunt, drop emojis, and even engage in some playful trickery with your gang. The settings are authentic Indian neighborhoods, bustling with life, where you'll navigate broken stumps, makeshift pitches, and unpredictable bounces off uneven walls.
Customization is a key feature, letting you assemble your gang and personalize them with quirky outfits and unlockable skins.
Gully Gangs: Street Cricket Is Now in Open Beta
5th Ocean Studios is committed to enriching the game with future updates, including new street maps, fresh outfits, regular events, clan wars, and even an esports mode. Players can look forward to leaderboards, daily and weekly challenges, and intense gang vs. gang showdowns.
Currently available only on Android, the studio plans to expand to iOS and Steam, with full controller support and cross-platform play in development. To dive into the action, download Gully Gangs: Street Cricket from the Google Play Store.
