Kurukshetra: Ascension is an Indian-inspired and developed card battler with over one million players

Author : Finn Feb 19,2025

Kurukshetra: Ascension, a captivating card battler rooted in Indian mythology, has surged past one million players since its 2023 release! Discover the excitement on Google Play and the iOS App Store.

This Indian-developed game showcases the nation's burgeoning gaming potential. Drawing inspiration from the epic scale of Indian mythology (familiar to fans of Asura's Wrath), Kurukshetra: Ascension offers engaging multiplayer PvP battles and a rich single-player campaign featuring demons, warriors, and mythical beasts. Its global reach is a testament to its engaging gameplay.

While perhaps less familiar in the West than Greek or Norse mythology, India's ancient epics are equally vast, filled with iconic heroes and warriors. The game is continually evolving; Season Eleven, "Journey to the Himalayas," introduces Himavat, a new playable hero, along with fresh weapons and more!

A Celebration of Culture

The strong emphasis on Indian culture in many locally developed games (like Indus) is noteworthy. Similar to the Lunar New Year events prevalent in Chinese games, Kurukshetra: Ascension demonstrates the power of gaming to effectively promote and share cultural heritage.

With over fourteen million matches played across all modes and millions of hours spent in PvP, Kurukshetra: Ascension has clearly resonated with players.
