Raji: An Ancient Epic by the Pune-based author Back in 2017, Nodding Heads Games received a lot of attention. While the gameplay was inspired by games such as Ico and Prince of Persia, the game was notable for its Hindu mythological setting. Given the subcontinent’s indie gaming scene’s infancy, the eventual 2020 release was a watershed moment for the Indian gaming industry. While Raji received mixed reviews, it was deemed successful enough for the team to announce an Enhanced Edition. Nodding Heads has now released an update revealing the PC version’s upcoming release date. The Enhanced Edition will be made available on May 24, 2022.

  • Revamped gameplay: Another ambiguous element, but it is safe to assume that it is about balance tweaks as well as additional refinement and polish to the combat and platforming.

What is Raji: An Ancient Epic about?

It tells the story of the titular Raji, a young girl thrust into battle between gods and demons, and was first released in August 2020 as a Nintendo Switch timed exclusive. After her younger brother Golu is kidnapped by demons led by the evil Mahabalasura, she must embark on a journey to retrieve him. Because of her strong will and courage, the deities Durga and Vishnu choose her to wield mystical weapons and bring justice to the wicked.

The game is an isometric action-adventure in which the girl traverses many picturesque dungeons while platforming across pillars and chasms. This journey is also dangerous because of the forces of evil that try to stop her. With an arsenal of holy weapons and a skill tree at her disposal, she can show her unbreakable resolve in fast-paced hack and slash combat against a variety of enemy types and bosses.

The platforming and combat action is interspersed with pockets of storytelling in which the two gods narrate various tales from Hindu folklore using beautifully painted murals. This is undoubtedly the game’s high point, and it piqued the interest of audiences unfamiliar with the setting.
