Cricket enthusiasts in India often find playing the sport in narrow alleys, known as gullies, more thrilling than on traditional fields. This unique experience has been captured by indie Indian developer 5th Ocean Studios in their latest release, *Gully Gangs: Street Cricket*, now available in Open Beta on Android.
*Gully Gangs: Street Cricket* revolutionizes the cricket gaming genre with its 4v4 multiplayer format, set amidst the vibrant, bustling Indian gullies. This game marks a first in offering a dedicated 4v4 street cricket experience, complete with the charm of rooftop catches, navigating around scooters, and the inevitable scolding from neighborhood uncles for breaking windows. Adding to the excitement, players can also engage in 1v1 matches.
The game enhances player interaction through voice chat, allowing you to strategize with your gang, banter with opponents, and even employ some playful tricks. Emotes can be dropped in the heat of the match, adding to the lively atmosphere. The settings are deeply rooted in Indian neighborhoods, featuring live action around you, broken stumps, makeshift pitches, and unpredictable ball bounces off uneven walls.
Customization is a key feature, enabling players to create and personalize their gangs with an array of funky outfits and unlockable skins, ensuring each team has its unique flair.
Currently in Open Beta, *Gully Gangs: Street Cricket* is poised for further development with 5th Ocean Studios promising numerous 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 showdowns.
Available exclusively on Android for now, the studio plans to expand to iOS and Steam, with full controller support and cross-platform play on the horizon. To dive into the action, download *Gully Gangs: Street Cricket* from the Google Play Store.
