Playing cricket in a tight alley is often considered more fun than playing it on the field. At least, in India. An indie Indian studio called 5th Ocean Studios has dropped their latest cricket game in Open Beta on Android. It’s called Gully Gangs: Street Cricket.
Not an Usual Cricket Sim
Gully Gangs: Street Cricket is a 4v4 multiplayer game. You play right in the middle of Indian gullies which is basically the Indian/Hindi term for narrow alleys.
It’s the first-ever 4v4 street cricket game. You get rooftop catches, scooters in the way, and nosy uncles yelling at you to stop breaking windows. What makes it more fun is that you can play in 1v1 mode too.
Gully Gangs: Street Cricket lets you pull off power moves and chat with your gang through voice chat. You can talk, sledge, drop emojis mid-match, and even pull some shady tricks.
The places in the game are proper Indian neighbourhood settings with stuff happening live around you. You’ll play with broken stumps, makeshift pitches and wild bounces off uneven walls.
The game offers tons of customisation options as well. You can build your gang, dress them up with funky outfits and unlock skins.
Gully Gangs: Street Cricket Is on an Open Beta Now
5th Ocean Studios is also planning a ton of updates like new street maps, fresh outfits, regular events, clan wars and even an esports mode down the line. There’s also going to be leaderboards, daily and weekly challenges, and proper gang vs gang matchups.
For now, it’s only on Android, but they’re planning to bring it to iOS and Steam too. Full controller support and cross-platform features are in the works. If you want to try it out, get the game from the Google Play Store.
