Cricket enthusiasts often find a unique thrill in playing the game in tight alleys, a phenomenon particularly cherished in India. The indie Indian studio, 5th Ocean Studios, has captured this spirit with their latest release, Gully Gangs: Street Cricket, which is now available in Open Beta on Android.
Not Your Typical Cricket Simulation
Gully Gangs: Street Cricket breaks the mold with its 4v4 multiplayer format, set in the bustling Indian gullies—narrow alleys teeming with life. This pioneering 4v4 street cricket game introduces elements like rooftop catches, navigating around scooters, and dealing with the inevitable scolding from nosy uncles for breaking windows. The fun doesn't stop there; you can also dive into 1v1 matches for a more personal challenge.
The game allows players to execute powerful moves and engage with their gang through voice chat, enabling real-time sledging, emoji drops during matches, and even some cheeky tactics. The settings are authentically Indian, featuring live neighborhood action, broken stumps, makeshift pitches, and unpredictable ball bounces off uneven walls.
Customization is at the heart of Gully Gangs: Street Cricket. Players have the freedom to build their gang, deck them out in funky outfits, and unlock a variety of skins to showcase their style.
Gully Gangs: Street Cricket Is Now in Open Beta
5th Ocean Studios is committed to enhancing the game experience with upcoming updates. Players can look forward to new street maps, fresh outfits, regular events, clan wars, and even an esports mode. The game will also feature leaderboards, daily and weekly challenges, and intense gang vs. gang matchups.
Currently, Gully Gangs: Street Cricket is exclusively available on Android, but the studio plans to expand to iOS and Steam. They're also working on full controller support and cross-platform features. If you're eager to dive into this street cricket adventure, you can download the game from the Google Play Store.
