Playing cricket in a tight alley, often more exhilarating than on a traditional field, is a beloved pastime in India. An indie Indian studio, 5th Ocean Studios, has captured this essence with their latest release, *Gully Gangs: Street Cricket*, now available in Open Beta on Android.
Not Your Typical Cricket Sim
*Gully Gangs: Street Cricket* revolutionizes the genre with its 4v4 multiplayer format, set amidst the vibrant and narrow Indian alleys known as gullies. This pioneering 4v4 street cricket game brings unique elements like rooftop catches, navigating around scooters, and the occasional scolding from neighborhood uncles about broken windows. For those who prefer a more intimate challenge, the game also supports 1v1 matches.
Players can execute powerful moves and communicate with their team through in-game voice chat, adding a layer of strategy and camaraderie. The chat feature allows for sledging, dropping emojis during matches, and even employing some cheeky tactics to outsmart opponents.
The game's settings are authentically Indian, with real-time neighborhood activities unfolding around you. You'll encounter broken stumps, makeshift pitches, and unpredictable bounces off uneven walls, all adding to the chaotic fun of street cricket.
Customization is a key feature, enabling players to form and style their gang with an array of funky outfits and unlockable skins, enhancing the personal touch to your gaming experience.
Gully Gangs: Street Cricket Is in Open Beta Now
5th Ocean Studios is not stopping at the launch; they're committed to enriching *Gully Gangs: Street Cricket* with a slew of updates. Expect new street maps, fresh outfits, regular events, clan wars, and even an esports mode in the future. The game will feature leaderboards, daily and weekly challenges, and intense gang vs. gang matchups.
Currently exclusive to Android, the studio plans to expand to iOS and Steam, promising full controller support and cross-platform play. If you're eager to dive into the action, you can download *Gully Gangs: Street Cricket* from the Google Play Store.
