In India, playing cricket in a tight alley, known as a gully, often trumps the traditional field experience for fun and excitement. Capturing this essence, an indie Indian studio, 5th Ocean Studios, has launched their latest cricket game, Gully Gangs: Street Cricket, into Open Beta on Android.

Not Your Usual Cricket Sim

Gully Gangs: Street Cricket revolutionizes the genre with its 4v4 multiplayer format, set amidst the vibrant, narrow alleys of Indian neighborhoods. This groundbreaking game brings the first-ever 4v4 street cricket experience to your fingertips, complete with rooftop catches, navigating around scooters, and the inevitable shouts from nosy uncles about broken windows. For those who prefer a more intimate challenge, the game also supports a 1v1 mode.

Engage in the action with power moves and communicate seamlessly with your team through in-game voice chat. Whether you're sledging opponents, dropping emojis mid-match, or executing some crafty tricks, Gully Gangs ensures an immersive experience. The game's settings are authentically Indian, featuring live neighborhood action, broken stumps, makeshift pitches, and unpredictable bounces off uneven walls.

Customization is at the heart of Gully Gangs: Street Cricket. Players can assemble their gang, deck them out in funky outfits, and unlock a variety of skins to personalize their team's look.

Gully Gangs: Street Cricket Is on an Open Beta Now

Currently in Open Beta on Android, 5th Ocean Studios is committed to enhancing Gully Gangs: Street Cricket with a series of updates. Players can look forward to new street maps, fresh outfits, regular events, clan wars, and an esports mode. Additionally, leaderboards, daily and weekly challenges, and thrilling gang vs gang matchups are on the horizon.

While the game is exclusively available on Android for now, plans are in place to expand to iOS and Steam, with full controller support and cross-platform features in development. To dive into the action, download Gully Gangs: Street Cricket from the Google Play Store.
