Cumin Heroic Saga offers a deep, engaging RPG experience with several unique features that set it apart in the Indian gaming landscape:
Players begin by creating their hero from one of six distinct classes, each inspired by Indian mythology and history:
The game's main storyline follows your hero's journey through a reimagined ancient India, where they must unite the various kingdoms against a common threat. Quests draw heavily from Indian epics like the Mahabharata and Ramayana, as well as regional folklore from across the country.
