Raji:
An Ancient Epic Review

Raji: An Ancient Epic (2020) is a running and jumping puzzle game drawing on Hindu and Balinese history. Taking inspiration from tales like Mahabharata and Ramayana you play a young girl named Raji who is chosen by the gods to defend the human race.

You use a range of weapons and powers as you explore the world of ancient India. You must take on tightly packed battles with ferocious demons and bosses, solve ancient puzzles, and explore massive palaces. As you do you discover the story of siblings, Raji and Golu, separated by the attacking demonic hordes and now desperate to find each other.

The game combines culture, storytelling and puzzles to draw players in. But it's the Pahari art style and hand-painted textures that really make this stand out.
