The Hindu culture is one of my favorite things and the likes of Ramayana, Bhagavad Gita or Mahabharata are among my favorite pieces of literature.
That being said, a game about the hindu mythology/religion will always catch my attention and Raji is no exception.
Lets talk about the story.. it's nothing mind blowing but its alright. It's about a girl named Raji that goes on an adventure to save her little brother from the Demon Lord Mahabalasura.
Throughout her journey she is assisted by Durga and Bhagvan Vishnu, which is crazy because both of them are the narrators in this game, literally Vishnu, God himself is the narrator and he sounds great. In terms of voice acting, Durga + Vishnu are Great, Raji herself... not so much.
I loved how the game presented stories about different deities like Lord Shiva, the 10 avatars of Lord Vishnu, Ganesha or stories about different events like the birth of the Nagas.
The scenery and backgrounds were beautiful but for what is worth, I think this game could have been better in terms of gameplay. I did not like the combat, I played about an hour of the game on normal difficulty and i must admit, I hate playing games on easy but it is what i did with Raji, I started the game again on easy just so i can enjoy the game more, I really didn't like the combat and i wanted it to be almost non existent.
Also, the upgrade system didn't make that much sense, to this day i still don't know what's the matter with it, its really rough.
I can recommend this game on a cheaper deal, its a nice 4 hours long game that's based around a culture/religion that should be featured more in video games as long as the games remain respectful and they don't mock the culture. A big percent of video games are either set in the USA or Japan so when i hear about a game that's set in a different place, im all ears. That's probably why Assassin's Creed is a comfort series for me, even if one AC game turns out to be mediocre, at least i get to explore a nice setting.
