In India, the thrill of playing cricket in a tight alley often surpasses the experience of playing on a traditional field. Capturing this unique spirit, an indie Indian studio named 5th Ocean Studios has launched their latest cricket game, Gully Gangs: Street Cricket, in Open Beta on Android.

Not Your Usual Cricket Sim

Gully Gangs: Street Cricket isn't your typical cricket simulation. This 4v4 multiplayer game immerses you in the heart of Indian gullies—narrow alleys synonymous with street cricket. The game breaks the mold as the first-ever 4v4 street cricket experience, complete with rooftop catches, scooters obstructing your path, and the inevitable nosy uncles yelling about broken windows. Adding to the excitement, you can also enjoy 1v1 matches.

What sets Gully Gangs apart is the ability to execute power moves and communicate with your team via voice chat. You can banter, sledge opponents, drop emojis during the match, and even employ some underhanded tactics. The game's settings are authentic Indian neighborhoods, bustling with life, where you'll encounter broken stumps, makeshift pitches, and unpredictable ball bounces off uneven walls.

Additionally, Gully Gangs: Street Cricket boasts extensive customization options. You can create your own gang, outfit them in funky attire, and unlock various skins to showcase your style.

Gully Gangs: Street Cricket Is Now in Open Beta

5th Ocean Studios is committed to enhancing the game with a slew of upcoming updates, including new street maps, fresh outfits, regular events, clan wars, and even an esports mode. Future plans also include leaderboards, daily and weekly challenges, and intense gang vs. gang showdowns.

Currently available only on Android, the studio is planning to expand to iOS and Steam, with full controller support and cross-platform features on the horizon. To dive into the action, you can download Gully Gangs: Street Cricket from the Google Play Store.
