The game is designed to cater to casual players who like intuitive game play wherein they can easily pick up and play the game. The game requires reflexes & skills with innate understanding of cricket and the game controls are easy to understand i.e. tap left when you want to hit on the offside and right when you want to hit on the onside.
Amrit Thomas, Chairman of Royal Challengers Bangalore, said “Over the last 10 years, RCB has transcended from being just a cricket team to a lifestyle brand that connects with its fans across multiple touch points. We have millions of people who engage with RCB on digital platforms and we wanted to offer a more personalised RCB experience to these bold fans, hence we looked at creating RCB Star Cricket. We are very happy to have Nazara as our partner in this initiative and we look forward to working more closely with them to engage with the ever increasing community of RCB fans from around the globe.”
The game is currently designed to be played in two modes – Reward mode and Career mode. The Reward mode enables the player to play as a part of the RCB team against an opposing team within which the player can choose different options– Daily Leaderboard, RCB Games (as per current 2017 match schedule) & IPL Top 10 Leaderboard. It includes plenty of rewards for the players to win original RCB merchandise.
The Career mode, on the other hand, will enable the player to play as their favorite stars. To begin with you can step into the shoes of ace cricketer and RCB Captain, Virat Kohli. This mode offers the cricket fans to face 60 bold on-field situations that have been simulated from Virat’s real-life experiences on the field. This mode will soon have other cricketing heavyweights such as Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers.
