In India, playing cricket in the tight confines of a gully, or narrow alley, is often considered more enjoyable than playing on a traditional field. This unique experience has inspired 5th Ocean Studios, an indie Indian game developer, to launch their latest cricket game, *Gully Gangs: Street Cricket*, in Open Beta on Android.
Not Your Typical Cricket Simulator
*Gully Gangs: Street Cricket* is a groundbreaking 4v4 multiplayer game that transports players into the heart of Indian gullies. This is the first-ever 4v4 street cricket game, offering an authentic experience complete with rooftop catches, scooters obstructing the play, and the inevitable shouts from nosy uncles warning against broken windows. Adding to the excitement, players can also enjoy 1v1 matches.
The game enhances the fun with features like power moves and voice chat, allowing you to communicate with your gang, sledge opponents, drop emojis during matches, and even execute some sneaky tricks. The settings are true to Indian neighborhoods, bustling with life around you as you play on makeshift pitches with broken stumps and deal with unpredictable bounces off uneven walls.
Customization is a key aspect of *Gully Gangs: Street Cricket*, where players can form their own gangs, dress them in funky outfits, and unlock various skins to make their team stand out.
Gully Gangs: Street Cricket Is Now in Open Beta
Currently in Open Beta, *Gully Gangs: Street Cricket* is set to receive numerous updates from 5th Ocean Studios. These updates include new street maps, fresh outfits, regular events, clan wars, and even an esports mode in the future. The game will also feature leaderboards, daily and weekly challenges, and competitive gang vs gang matchups.
While the game is exclusively available on Android for now, plans are underway to expand to iOS and Steam platforms. Full controller support and cross-platform features are also on the roadmap. If you're eager to dive into the action, you can download *Gully Gangs: Street Cricket* from the Google Play Store.
