Unveiled during Tuesday’s Nintendo’s Indie World event, Raji is a thrilling action-adventure game featuring gorgeous artwork and a story steeped in ancient Indian folklore.

Raji: An Ancient Epic is a beautifully crafted action-adventure game that thrusts you into a deadly war between man and demons. Chosen by the gods to stand against a horrific demonic invasion, Raji, a young girl, must rescue her younger brother while defending the human race in a war with ancient demons. With a diverse line-up of weapons and powers gifted to her by the gods, you must master skills and think quickly as you adopt strategies to suit each situation.

Features of Raji: An Ancient Epic include:

  • Rich Storytelling: Experience a story of siblings. Brother and sister, Raji and Golu, separated by the attacking demonic hordes, now find themselves in the middle of a great war. Raji has taken it upon herself to find her brother and put an end to this reckless conflict.

  • Stunning Artwork: Inspired by ancient Indian mythology and medieval architecture, the game brings a refreshing new style to the genre. Every corner of the game’s environment is drawn in the Pahari art style and combines hand-painted textures, rendered in 3D.
  • Fluid and Challenging Combat: Utilize a variety of powerful weapons and acrobatic moves, including the traditional Trishul and Sharanga bow to defeat the demonic threat
