Kurukshetra: Ascension, a captivating card battle game rooted in Indian mythology, has surged past one million players since its 2023 launch! Dive into the action on Google Play and the iOS App Store.
This Indian-developed title showcases the nation's burgeoning game development scene. 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 mythical 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 rich ancient epics provide a similarly vast and compelling backdrop, filled with larger-than-life heroes and warriors. The game remains dynamic, with Season Eleven, "Journey to the Himalayas," introducing a new hero, Himavat, along with new weapons and more!
A Cultural Showcase
The strong emphasis on Indian culture in many locally developed games (like Indus) is noteworthy. Similar to the Lunar New Year events prevalent in Chinese games, Kurukshetra: Ascension effectively demonstrates the power of gaming to promote and share cultural heritage.
With over fourteen million matches played across all modes and millions of hours spent in PvP, Kurukshetra: Ascension's popularity is undeniable.
