Ramayana Demo

Ramayana is a real-time strategy game developed and published by a single developer, and it really shows in the poor quality of this title.

The Westerners have their epic poems, but this kind of literature is present in other parts of the world. In fact, the epic poem of Gilgamesh is thought to be the earliest piece of literature in the world, and it comes from the same geographical area. Ramayana is much newer, but it’s still part of that culture, which mean that the story and everything that’s talked abut in the game will most likely seem difficult to comprehend.

Just because we don’t understand the story that’s been used to give meaning to thins game doesn’t mean that we can’t judge the game on its technical merits. I can honestly say that it has no merit. It’s pretty much terrible all the way through and there simply no reason to play it, even if it’s just the demo.

As far as I can tell, the game tells the exact story of the Ramayana epic poem, which follows the life of Rama, the seventh avatar of the Hindu God Vishnu. This is pretty much the extent of the part that you can understand without any kind background and knowledge of that particular religion.

That means that we can only look at the gameplay, which in the case of Ramayana is utterly terrible. The graphics are downright ugly, the animations are missing, for the most part, the voices were recorded in a regular room, and the action itself is ordinary, although that might be a little bit too lenient.

Simply put, Ramayana is a bad game, and no one should play it. What’s worse is that the developer is asking for a substantial price and quite a few people got burned. The fact that there is a demo available is a good thing because it can help users to take a look for themselves at the mess that’s Ramayana.

The demo version only has the first level, but I doubt that you will need more that that to make a decision.
