Kurukshetra: Ascension, a captivating card battler rooted in Indian mythology, has surged past one million players since its 2023 release! Discover the excitement on Google Play and the iOS App Store.
This Indian-developed game showcases the nation's burgeoning game development potential. Drawing inspiration from the epic scale of Indian mythology (familiar to fans of Asura's Wrath), Kurukshetra: Ascension offers thrilling multiplayer PvP battles and a captivating single-player campaign featuring demons, warriors, and cosmic beasts. Its global reach is a testament to its engaging gameplay.
While perhaps less familiar in the West than Greek or Norse mythology, India's ancient epics are equally rich, filled with larger-than-life heroes and warriors that form the heart of Kurukshetra. The game continues to evolve; Season Eleven, "Journey to the Himalayas," introduces a new hero, Himavat, along with new weapons and more!
A Celebration of Culture
The strong emphasis on Indian culture in many locally developed games (like Indus) is noteworthy. Similar to the Lunar New Year events in Chinese games, Kurukshetra demonstrates the power of gaming to effectively communicate and promote cultural heritage.
With over fourteen million matches played across all modes and millions of hours spent in PvP, Kurukshetra: Ascension has clearly resonated with players.
