“Kapih offers a quick-paced, action-filled adventure replete with platforming obstacles and energetic combat.

As players advance through the game, they will uncover new weapons and power-ups. The developer noted that the art style is influenced by Kalamkari, Thanjavur, Warli, and Madhubani art forms. “From detailed hand-drawn villages to vibrant mandala-infused terrains, every aspect is crafted with care to showcase the richness of Indian culture,” 88 Games explained.

Players can add Kapih to their wishlists on Steam and Epic Games Store with a confirmed launch on PS5 and Xbox Series S/X.
