Cumin Fury Onslaught has taken India's mobile gaming scene by storm since its 2022 release. Developed by Mumbai-based SpiceStorm Studios, this action-packed battle royale game blends traditional Indian warfare elements with modern gaming mechanics, creating a uniquely Indian gaming experience that has resonated with over 5 million players across the country.
At its core, Cumin Fury Onslaught is a 50-player battle royale where players fight to be the last warrior standing on ever-shrinking battlefields inspired by Indian geography. The game features three distinct modes:
