Heavenly Realm Quest (HRQ) is a mobile fantasy RPG that has captured India's gaming community with its immersive world-building and culturally resonant themes. Developed by Mythic Horizons Studios, the game blends traditional Indian mythology with modern RPG elements.
The game's real-time combat system incorporates traditional Indian martial arts stances, with over 50 different combat styles inspired by Kalaripayattu, Gatka, and Thang-Ta. Players can form "Guru-Shishya" (teacher-student) partnerships for cooperative gameplay.
