Raji: an Ancient Epic, developer Nodding Head Games’ gorgeous jaunt through Indian mythology, will be making its way to Xbox One, PS4, and PC on 15th October, following a short period of Switch exclusivity.
Nodding Head’s striking action-adventure tells the story of the titular Raji, a young girl blessed by the Gods, as she travels across a gorgeous rendition of ancient India – a world of dazzling temples, grottoes, and mountain fortress – battling to save her brother and defend the Earth from demonic beings.
To breathe life into its world, Nodding Head has drawn heavily on Indian folklore and culture; as Christian Donlan explained in his Recommended review, “This is the work of a small studio in India, and it’s a game built on Hindu and Balinese myths and artistic traditions. Vishnu and Durga’s roving conversation shapes the narrative, cut-scenes are handled by shadow puppets or replaced entirely by the discovery of huge, vivid murals within the game world itself.”
