A new India-made game is ready to enter the global PC market. It’s set in the Ramayana era where you can fight Ravana’s army, as you get a taste of Kalamkari, Madhubani, Warli, and Thanjavur art styles
At its core, Kapih is the story of a common man and how he overcomes challenges. 88 Games consciously decided to make a commoner the protagonist of their game because stories of heroes are always told, but their followers are often ignored
Kapih, a vaanar in the Ramayana era, loses his anklet when his village is under attack by Ravana’s army. Determined to get his anklet back, Kapih is ready to go on a quest. That’s when he hears about a good king, Rama. As he finds out that the two of them have a common enemy, he joins Hanuman’s vaanar sena and sets out to fight for Rama.
What unfolds is a game full of action and legendary boss battles set in the epic’s universe. Kapih is 88 Games’ first-ever action platformer game. An off-shoot of 88 Pictures, an animation studio in Mumbai, this game studio is now set to launch Kapih in the next three months. Kapih’s trailer, which released on February 15, showcases an action-packed game where Indian art and design are front and centre.
