In India, playing cricket in a tight alley, known as a gully, is often considered more fun than playing on a traditional field. This unique experience has been captured in a new game by indie Indian studio, 5th Ocean Studios, called Gully Gangs: Street Cricket, which is now available in Open Beta on Android.
Not Your Usual Cricket Sim
Gully Gangs: Street Cricket breaks the mold with its 4v4 multiplayer format, set in the heart of Indian gullies—narrow alleys bustling with life. This game marks the first-ever 4v4 street cricket experience, complete with rooftop catches, scooters as obstacles, and even nosy uncles shouting at players to stop breaking windows. Adding to the excitement, the game also offers a 1v1 mode for those looking for a more personal challenge.
Players can execute power moves and communicate with their team through voice chat, allowing for real-time sledging, emoji exchanges, and even some cheeky tricks. The game's settings are authentically Indian, featuring live neighborhood action, broken stumps, makeshift pitches, and unpredictable bounces off uneven walls.
Customization is a key feature, with options to build and style your gang with funky outfits and unlockable skins, enhancing the personal touch to your gameplay experience.
Gully Gangs: Street Cricket Is on an Open Beta Now
5th Ocean Studios is committed to enhancing Gully Gangs: Street Cricket with planned updates including new street maps, fresh outfits, regular events, clan wars, and an esports mode. Future updates will also introduce leaderboards, daily and weekly challenges, and intense gang vs. gang matchups.
Currently available only on Android, the studio aims to expand to iOS and Steam, with full controller support and cross-platform features in development. To dive into the action, download Gully Gangs: Street Cricket from the Google Play Store.
