This is an opening chapter of Raji: An Ancient Epic that you can play for free.
Our story begins at the start of a new war between the demons and the gods. Seeking to avenge their humiliating defeat in the last great war, the demons have challenged the gods and have invaded the human realm, threatening nothing less than the utter destruction of humanity.
After the first great war, the humans had fallen into a false sense of security, forgetting the ways of alchemy, while enjoying the peace. Soon, the demons arrived to challenge the humans’ complacency, and unable to defend themselves, cities and fortresses fell, leaving the humans at the mercy of the demons.
Amidst the chaos, a new hero has risen in the form of a young girl, Raji, who has been chosen by the gods to be the sole defender of the human race. In her quest to save humanity, Raji must also rescue her brother, who has been captured by the demons for unknown purposes.

Experience a story of siblings. Raji and Golu are sister and brother who have been separated by the attacking demonic hordes and now find themselves in the middle of the great war.
Raji has taken it upon herself to find her brother and put an end to this reckless war. However, this can only happen if she manages to break down the might and stratagem devised by the great lord of demons, Mahabalasura.
Inspired by Indian mythologies such as Mahabharata and Ramayana, and by the medieval architecture of Rajasthan, Raji: An Ancient Epic brings a refreshing new style to the action-adventure scene!
Every corner of the game’s environment is drawn in the Pahari art style and combines hand-painted textures, rendered in 3D giving the Raji: An Ancient Epic a stunning and unique visual quality rarely seen in games.
Diverse weapons and powers, gifted to Raji by the gods, are at your disposal. Mastering them all will be vital to your success as the demonic hordes will skillfully adapt to each and every situation; while the Trishul may be perfect for one battle, the mighty Sharanga bow may be needed for the next.
For the very first time, experience a game set in ancient India and infused with Hindu and Balinese mythology. You will find yourself immersed in ancient India where every corner is begging to be explored.
From enchanting stories from the lore of the game to tightly packed battles against ferocious demons and bosses, ancient puzzles, massive forts and palaces, experience a sibling story who find themselves at the center of a divine war.
