In India, playing cricket in a tight alley, known locally as a "gully," often trumps the excitement of a traditional field game. This unique charm has inspired 5th Ocean Studios, an indie Indian game developer, to launch their latest cricket game, "Gully Gangs: Street Cricket," into Open Beta on Android. This game captures the essence of street cricket with its vibrant and dynamic setting.
Not Your Typical Cricket Sim
"Gully Gangs: Street Cricket" introduces a fresh take on cricket with its 4v4 multiplayer format set in the heart of Indian gullies—narrow alleys bustling with life. This pioneering 4v4 street cricket game brings the thrill of rooftop catches, dodging scooters, and dealing with the inevitable shouts from nosy neighbors worried about their windows. Adding to the fun, the game also supports 1v1 matches, catering to players of all preferences.
The game enhances the experience with power moves, voice chat, and the ability to communicate with your team through sledging, emoji drops, and even executing sneaky tricks on opponents. The immersive environment reflects authentic Indian neighborhood settings, complete with ongoing street life, broken stumps, makeshift pitches, and unpredictable ball bounces off uneven walls.
Players can enjoy a high level of customization, from building and naming their gang to dressing them in funky outfits and unlocking unique skins. This personal touch adds depth to the gameplay, allowing players to express their style and strategy.
Gully Gangs: Street Cricket Is Now in Open Beta
Currently in Open Beta, "Gully Gangs: Street Cricket" is set to receive numerous updates from 5th Ocean Studios. These include new street maps, fresh outfits, regular events, clan wars, and even an esports mode. The developers are also planning to introduce leaderboards, daily and weekly challenges, and exciting gang vs. gang matchups, ensuring continuous engagement and competition among players.
Available exclusively on Android at the moment, the game is slated for expansion to iOS and Steam. Full controller support and cross-platform play are on the roadmap, promising a seamless experience across devices. If you're eager to dive into the world of street cricket, you can download "Gully Gangs: Street Cricket" from the Google Play Store.
