nCore Games, a startup co-founded by gaming veterans Vishal Gondal and Dayanidhi MG, has partnered with the makers of the upcoming Akshay Kumar-starrer 'Ram Setu' to launch a made-in-India action mobile game titled ‘Ram Setu: The Run’.
Available as a free download on Google Play Store and Apple App Store, Ram Setu: The Run is an endless runner game title wherein players can take on roles of the movie characters - Dr. Aryan Kulshrestha (Akshay Kumar), Sandra (Jacqueline Fernandez), or AP (Satyadev Kancharana).
One has to collect tokens, gems and power-ups while avoiding various obstacles and challenges such as enemy attacks, robotic drones, and wreckage among others, the company said in a statement.
The title will also have leaderboards and different game modes such as local multiplayer and split-screen multiplayer on the same device among others, it said.
The game has been developed by Dot9 Games, a Mumbai-based gaming studio housed within nCore Games that has previously developed a collection of location-based multiplayer games called Apna Games.
"Ram Setu: The Run is our attempt at marrying our prowess in game development with a blockbuster IP to bring a polished, entertaining gaming experience that anyone can just pick up and play,” says Deepak Ail, Co-Founder and CEO of Dot9 Games. “Our team has worked hard to ensure it is optimised well enough to be playable even on low-end smartphones as well as tablets."
