Before he is born, Abhimanyu dreams of war.
In the depths of his mother’s womb, Abhimanyu’s mind conjures visions of an inevitable war. Within this dream, he trains to face the unbreakable Chakravyuh, long before his legendary infiltration.
Chakravyuh is a compact Indian mythological action game built around three handcrafted one-on-one boss duels: the Trial of Shakti, the Trial of Maya, and the Trial of Dharma. Each encounter is designed around learning attack patterns, reading openings, dodging bullet-hell barrages, and mastering precise melee strikes, parries, ranged attacks, and Astra-based abilities.
Break the bosses’ poise, create punish windows, and overcome overwhelming odds in a focused action experience rooted in Indian mythology.
