Mahabalasura

fast-paced
combat is complemented by various platforming challenges that will have you
jump
,
climb
, and
wall-run
your way through its many unique locations and backdrops from ancient India.
Everything is presented through hand-painted textures and 3D renders using the Pahari art style that further illustrates the beauty and danger of the ancient world you will be exploring and getting to know more about. One thing to know before starting is this game is
exclusive to Netflix subscribers
. You won't be able to play it without an account and paid subscription.
A perilously mystifying journey
If you're a fan of action-adventure games, then Raji: An Ancient Epic is pretty much a must-play. Its intriguing story and setting coupled with solid combat and a beautiful art style make for a memorable experience worth having. It's a game that's exclusive to Netflix subscribers, though, but you probably are one already, so it's not much of an issue. Highly recommended.
