Discover Rakshasa: A Modern Indian RPG Inspired by Indian Folklore Every now and then, a game catches my eye and quickly finds its way onto my Steam wishlist without me even realizing it. Today, that game is Rakshasa, a first-person RPG set in modern India, drawing inspiration from Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines and Baldur's Gate. In this game, players must confront demi-gods and centuries-old flesh-eating monsters inspired by Indian folklore. Yes, sign me up for this unique adventure! The reveal trailer for Rakshasa exudes a gritty and atmospheric cyberpunk vibe, set in a city environment that feels both familiar and otherworldly. From ancient temples to rundown slums to luxury apartments, the game promises a richly textured world for players to explore. Despite being a first-person game, Rakshasa takes a unique turn-based combat approach, incorporating timing-based elements into its gameplay mechanics. While it's hard to gauge the exact nature of the combat system from the trailer, players can expect RPG elements such as upgrade trees to customize their characters. And let's not forget, you can throw snakes in this game! How cool is that? What makes Rakshasa even more intriguing is the fact that it is being developed by Odd Compass, a YouTube channel known for its animated history videos focusing on under-appreciated events and figures in Asian history, particularly in India. If you're a history enthusiast, be sure to check out their videos for a deeper understanding of the cultural background of Rakshasa. In the meantime, you can add Rakshasa to your wishlist and embark on a thrilling journey through Indian mythology and folklore.
