Something different
Raji is an Indian story that was made in Pune, India, by anIndian developer and is thus one thing above all: Authentic. From the refreshingly different artwork, the new take on a well known Indian tale, handmade Rajasthani music, the way the story is told using shadow play, correct references to Hindu mythology. Proper use of the correct names and symbols. If this is your first deep-dive into Hindu mythology, better strap in though for the game won't do much hand-holding as far as names and concepts are concerned and instead sends you deep down the rabbit hole. This is a fantasy world way beyond the beaten path. And if you decide to look up one or more characters mentioned you might catch a glimpse of how deep it actually is. It does feel to me like the developers poured heart and soul into their project. Likewise for gameplay, as Raji, the main character, controls well with mouse and keyboard. New mechanics are introduced step by step, the game eases players into every single aspect. Combat moves are easy to pick up, yet difficult to master. And finally, even though the game is not exactly on the lower end of the difficulty curve, it is fair. If you do die, there is not much backtracking from the last save point. All in all, the game is a lot of fun with the absolute highlight being the setting itself. My only issue with the game is the level design which - even though beautifully done - is more functional than memorable. The levels could have been more interesting with a little more variety and would have profited from some noticeable, more iconic locations. Still, if you are interested in Hindu mythology at all and enjoy action adventures as a genre, I do highly recommend the game. It is definitely worth it.
