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

Author : Eric Feb 11,2025

Kurukshetra: Ascension, a captivating card battle game rooted in Indian mythology, has surpassed one million players since its 2023 release! Dive into the action on Google Play and the iOS App Store.

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

While perhaps less familiar in the West than Greek or Norse mythology, India's rich ancient epics are equally vast and inspiring, filled with larger-than-life heroes that form the foundation of Kurukshetra: Ascension. The game continues to evolve; Season Eleven, "Journey to the Himalayas," introduces Himavat, a new playable hero, along with new 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 incorporation of Lunar New Year events 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 game modes and millions of hours spent in PvP, Kurukshetra: Ascension's popularity is undeniable.
