    The game is a reimagination of the Indian traditional board game - "Ali Guli Mane" or the Internationally known variant "Mancala".

    Play as a mysterious traveller whose journey across the world lands you in the Kingdom of Zampi. Resolve the drought plaguing the once-prosperous Kingdom of Zampi by solving puzzles and destroying the magical pillars blocking the water.

    Highly stylized hand-drawn artwork and animated cutscenes lure you further into the journey as you move from one puzzle to the next.

    The game is greatly influenced and inspired by Hampi - a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Indian culture.

    Mystic Pillars is available in 21 languages and showcases lesser-known languages like Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, Catalan, etc. Experience the story like never before with voiceovers in Kannada - an Indian language, or English.    … Expand

    Culturally relevant and provocative in its gameplay, Mystic Pillars is one of those games that, while drawing on great references, finds its element of interest in its simplicity. It may not be exciting enough for certain players, but those interested in a good puzzle will certainly have a lot of fun.

    Whilst this is largely a no-frills puzzle game, Mystic Pillars Remastered does provide an intriguing narrative to pull you through. The tale of Indian folklore is wonderfully told in a warm, native voice that does a solid job of filling in the gaps. It's a shame the remaining presentation lacks the same punch. The puzzles themselves are simple to grasp and there's plenty to work through, if lacking in variety. At times, it's tricky but I never felt frustrated. It's not one long for the memory but offers a decent diversion for a few hours.
