About Raji: An Ancient Epic

A thousand years have passed since the last great war between the demons and the gods. Lulled into a false sense of security and having forgotten the ways of alchemy, humans find themselves at the mercy of the invading demons, who wage a new war to repay their past humiliation.Cities fall, fortresses are in ruins and young children are abducted from their homes. In this chaos, a young girl named Raji is chosen by the gods to be the sole defender of the human race.

A Story of Siblings
Raji and her younger brother Golu are separated as the demonic hordes attack. It is now up to Raji to save him and put an end to this reckless war. On her quest she will have to overcome the full might and cunning of the great lord of demons, Mahabalasura.

Stunning Artwork
Drawing inspiration from legendary tales of Hindu folklore and the medieval architecture of Rajasthan, Raji: An Ancient Epic brings a visually stunning and unique style to the action-adventure genre! Enter an immersive environment drawn in the Pahari art style and brought to life with hand-painted textures rendered in 3D.

Tactical Combat
Diverse weapons and powers, gifted to Raji by the gods are at your disposal. Mastering them all will be vital to your success as the demonic hordes will skillfully adapt to each and every situation; while the Trishul may be perfect for one battle, the mighty Sharanga bow may be needed for the next.

From lore full of enchanting stories and fierce battles with demons and menacing bosses to ancient puzzles and massive forts and palaces begging to be explored - you will find yourself in a sibling story unlike any other.

A cute and fairly simple game, easy to run for anyone i think. There is a lot of hindu mythology, which i find cool, and I think it adds well to the story and is a critical part of it.1 found this helpful
This game actually got some fun elements like its art, combat, hindi voiceover, storytelling and many more things. So I would definitely recommend other players to experience this to explore Indian culture and tradition.
This was short and well made game for the first time developer... Voice acting could be better and I am glad the storage size was below 10gb... Really waiting for the second installment...
Boss fights are a huge spike in difficulty (and drop in creativity) from the rest of the game.
Really Good Visuals and Art Direction. Somewhat Okay Combat but really ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Boss Fights
The world and other visuals are gorgeous and it's nice to have a game based with Hinduist gods. Sadly the combat is highly annoying with random difficulty spikes, enemies somehow stun locking you later in game, slow responsivness of controls (weapon change / block / ... ). In the end I simply gave up and switched to easy mode like the filthy casual that I am. Story & lore was mostly okay, but it bothered me that the ending didn't really feel like an ending, just some intro to the sequel of Raji: Kaliyuga. Still giving it a recommend because it looks really pretty and because there's no middle option between "recommend" & "do not reccomend" :D
