    Raji is a great story rich, linear adventure game. The story is Hindu mythology, and the game play is God of War-like. The puzzles and platforming are relatively easy, and the hack and slash combat is smooth. The bosses are unique and fun. The graphics, sound and art work well. Overall, a great game that doesn't take more than a few hours, and you shouldn't miss if you like short adventureRaji is a great story rich, linear adventure game.

Would love to see a longer Raji 2.… Expand

    Quite impressive. The game itself is not particularly - special. But game mechanics fit together well. The combat feels fluid, both just by itself and also by including the environment.
    The story "feels" kind of original with beautiful cutscenes and very warm and artistic colouring. I have yet to play much further .. but from what i have seen, it is a beautifully made game.

    What i do not like very much .. is the controls .. that feel like they are (of course) made for controller .. with keyboard and mouse only being a negligent afterthought if any. My problem is that i do not play with controller - so my gameplay experience is limited in that respect (meaning, i fall back to the rather simple combat mechanics rather than making a spectacle of out of it - something this game allows with all the mechanics)

    Still, highly recommended if you want a well balanced story, protagonist and game mechanic.    … Expand

    View the game within its context, and it's an excellent title. If for no other reason than to spit in the face of VICE.

    YOU MUST PLAY IT! Make no doubt of that.
    This is an immersive game where everything is perfect, graphics, art, narrative. You can enjoy it not only as a game. This is something completely new among games, I have not seen this before. You just have to try this.
    btw this mythology is really something new for me. Thanks for this!!

    This little game was a very nice surprise. Gave it a crack on Game Pass and am really glad I did. The gameplay is fun, characters are charming and the setting is obviously beautiful.

    The game gives off the Prince of Persia vibes with its wall run & combo mechanics. It is certainly a unique game, especially its art and storytelling with puppet like animation in cutscenes but the combat is quite dull. The story revolves around a girl on a quest to save her brother and two Gods narrating the story. Gameplay got repetitive and boring quite fast.

    Overall I would say, good art, good voice acting of Durga but not of Vishnu, mediocre gameplay    … Expand

    Raji is set in a rarely explored (and therefore refreshing) setting of Hindu mythology that definitely works in its favor, and offers gameplay mechanics resembling a Prince of Persia game on a budget. The protagonist is as agile as Price and the game is generally enjoyable, but the platforming sections are too easy to pose a challenge, and the combat is not meaty enough to be satisfying.

    On tips of your fingers there is Raji slicing her way through the demons hordes of the hindu myths under the striking imaginery of Indian paintings. Time in this game is well spent. [Issue#308]

    Raji: An Ancient Epic can offer you some scenic locations, plenty of platforming, and a rather boring combat system. The main selling point here is not Raji herself, but the godlike beings, telling the tales of the Indian mythology, heavily intertwined with with the game's overall storyline.
