In a country obsessed with cricket, where parents send their children to academies in the hopes that they would at least make the IPL cut, gaming has managed to hold its own, albeit primarily on smartphones. While PC gaming continues to grow in popularity, console gaming is battling to maintain its relevance.

Due to low internet bandwidth and low-cost phones, India is one of the top five mobile gaming marketplaces in the world, with roughly 300 million users. PC games are attempting to establish a foothold in this environment.

While owning a PC dedicated only to gaming remains a pipe dream for many in India, the availability of inexpensive internet has aided in raising awareness about online gaming. According to predictions, India’s gaming business would produce an income of Rs. 11,900 crores (about $1.6 million/£1.2 million/AU$2.2 million) by 2023, and major companies have begun to explore India as a possible market.

Although India has long been a hotbed of creative developers, designers, and coders, game production has not always been a popular option. However, in recent years, a few developers have dared to take on these issues and launched their games. To show our support for these courageous pioneers, we’ve put up a list of the finest Indian PC games, just in time for PC gaming week.

1. Gamedev Beatdown

Do you want to make your own game? Gamedev Beatdown, on the other hand, is a single-player hybrid 2D strategy game that allows you to gamify the challenges of a game developer.

2. Asura

Asura is a rogue-like game that has been around since 2017. Ausra is a top-down game set in a fantasy world in which the player’s skill tree alters with each death. This game is primarily inspired by Indian mythology, as the name suggests, and has the player reborn as an Asura, or demon, who battles against the “God-king” Hasirama with the use of abilities.

3. Miner’s Mettle

Miner’s Mettle is a unique combination of a real-time strategy game and an artillery game. This game, set in the future, transports you to a recently found but inhospitable planet that has the miraculous substance Pentium. As a player, you must not only battle other groups for possession of the planet and its resources but also guarantee that you return to your base station alive and with a large cache of the mineral.
