In India, playing cricket in a tight alley, known as a gully, is often considered more fun than playing on a traditional field. This unique experience has been captured in a new game by indie Indian studio, 5th Ocean Studios, called Gully Gangs: Street Cricket, which is now available in Open Beta on Android.
Not Your Usual Cricket Sim
Gully Gangs: Street Cricket breaks the mold with its 4v4 multiplayer format, set in the heart of Indian gullies—narrow alleys bustling with life. This game marks the first-ever 4v4 street cricket experience, complete with rooftop catches, scooters as obstacles, and even nosy uncles shouting at players to stop breaking windows. Adding to the excitement, the game also supports 1v1 matches.
Players can execute powerful moves and communicate with their team through voice chat, allowing for real-time sledging, emoji exchanges, and even some cheeky tricks. The game's environments are authentically Indian, featuring live neighborhood settings with broken stumps, makeshift pitches, and unpredictable bounces off uneven walls.
Customization is a key feature, enabling players to create and personalize their gang with a variety of funky outfits and unlockable skins.
Gully Gangs: Street Cricket Is on an Open Beta Now
5th Ocean Studios is committed to enhancing Gully Gangs: Street Cricket with upcoming updates, including new street maps, fresh outfits, regular events, clan wars, and an esports mode. Future plans also include leaderboards, daily and weekly challenges, and intense gang vs. gang matchups.
Currently available only on Android, the studio aims to expand to iOS and Steam, with full controller support and cross-platform features in development. To experience this unique take on cricket, download Gully Gangs: Street Cricket from the Google Play Store.
