Rajasthan Rally Kings is India’s premier rally racing game, developed and published by Daman Games with a sole focus on delivering an authentic desi racing experience. Launched in 2023, the game has quickly become a sensation among Indian mobile gamers, blending high-octane rally action with rich cultural elements of Rajasthan and other Indian states.
Unlike generic racing games that often feature international tracks and vehicles, Rajasthan Rally Kings puts India at the forefront – from the golden deserts of Jaisalmer to the bustling streets of Jaipur, from the rugged hills of Udaipur to the historic lanes of Pushkar. Every aspect of the game, from visuals to gameplay, is tailored to resonate with Indian players, making it more than just a racing game – it’s a celebration of Indian culture and rally spirit!
The game’s core mission is to “Bring Rally Racing Home to India” – a vision that has struck a chord with millions of players who have long craved a racing game that understands their preferences, language, and terrain. Whether you’re a casual gamer looking for quick thrills or a hardcore rally enthusiast chasing leaderboard glory, Rajasthan Rally Kings has something for everyone.
The journey of Rajasthan Rally Kings began in 2021 when Daman Games’ team of Indian developers noticed a gap in the mobile gaming market: while international racing games dominated the space, there was no major title that celebrated India’s unique rally potential. Rajasthan, with its diverse landscapes (deserts, hills, plains, forts) and rich rally heritage, emerged as the perfect setting for the game.
Over two years of development, the team traveled across 12 cities in Rajasthan to capture real-world terrain data, ensuring that every track in the game mirrors the actual geography of the region. They also collaborated with local rally drivers, mechanics, and cultural experts to infuse authenticity – from the sound of vehicles on desert sand to the design of traditional liveries inspired by Rajasthani textiles.
The game was soft-launched in Rajasthan and Gujarat in early 2023, gathering feedback from over 500,000 players. Based on this input, the team refined gameplay mechanics, added regional language support, and expanded the track list before launching nationwide in October 2023. The response was overwhelming – Rajasthan Rally Kings crossed 10 million downloads within the first month and became the #1 racing game on the Google Play Store in India.
Rajasthan Rally Kings is built on three core values: Authenticity, Accessibility, and Community. The game strives to be authentic to Indian rally culture, accessible to players of all skill levels, and foster a vibrant community of Indian racing fans.
Authenticity is reflected in every detail – from the inclusion of Indian-made vehicles (such as Tata Safari, Mahindra Thar, and Maruti Gypsy) to the celebration of festivals like Diwali, Holi, and Ganesh Chaturthi through in-game events. Accessibility is ensured through intuitive controls, multiple difficulty levels, and low device requirements, allowing players with budget smartphones to enjoy the game without compromise.
Community lies at the heart of Rajasthan Rally Kings. The game features clan systems, regional tournaments, and social media integration that lets players connect with fellow racers from their state or city. Daman Games also regularly engages with the community through surveys, live streams, and feedback sessions, ensuring that the game evolves based on player needs.
Rajasthan Rally Kings offers a realistic yet engaging rally racing experience that balances skill and fun. The game uses a physics engine specifically optimized for Indian terrain – desert sand slows down vehicles slightly, while rocky hills require careful steering to avoid damage. Unlike traditional track racing, rally in this game is all about navigating open landscapes with minimal guidance, testing your ability to read the road and adapt to changing conditions.
Controls are fully customizable, allowing players to choose between touch steering, tilt controls, or a virtual joystick. There’s also an option for manual or automatic transmission, catering to both casual players and those who want a more immersive experience. The game’s “Rally Navigator” feature – a voice guide that alerts you to upcoming turns, obstacles, and terrain changes – is available in multiple Indian languages, making it easier for players to focus on racing without getting lost.
Vehicle damage is another key mechanic in Rajasthan Rally Kings. Colliding with rocks, trees, or other vehicles will affect your speed, handling, and even fuel efficiency. Players can repair their vehicles mid-race using “Jugaad Kits” – a nod to India’s famous improvisational spirit – which can be collected from checkpoints or purchased using in-game currency. However, over-reliance on kits can penalize you, encouraging strategic driving.
One of the biggest draws of Rajasthan Rally Kings is its extensive collection of Indian-made and rally-modified vehicles. The game features over 50 vehicles across 5 categories, each with unique stats (speed, acceleration, handling, durability) that suit different terrains and playstyles.
| Vehicle Category | Examples | Best For | Unlocking Requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
| Compact Rally Cars | Maruti Suzuki Swift Rally, Hyundai i20 N | Urban Tracks, Beginners | Complete Tutorial, Level 5 |
| SUVs & Off-Roaders | Mahindra Thar, Tata Safari, Force Gurkha | Desert, Rocky Hills | Complete Rajasthan Desert Cup, Level 15 |
| Classic Rally Cars | Premier Padmini Rally Edition, Ambassador Mark IV | Historic Tracks, Style Points | Win 10 Regional Tournaments, Level 25 |
| High-Speed Rally Cars | Volkswagen Polo R, Ford Fiesta RS | Plains, Long Straight Tracks | Reach Top 10 in National Leaderboard, Level 35 |
| Exclusive Daman Games Editions | Rajasthan Royal Rally Car, Diwali Special Thar | All Terrains, Limited Events | Participate in Exclusive Events, Purchase Premium Pass |
Each vehicle can be upgraded using in-game currency (Rally Coins) and materials (Engine Parts, Tyre Kits, Body Kits) collected from races or events. Upgrades not only improve performance but also allow for customization – players can change paint jobs, add decals inspired by Indian states (e.g., Rajasthan’s flag colors, Gujarat’s bandhani patterns), and even equip special accessories like fog lamps for night races or sand tires for desert tracks.
A unique feature of Rajasthan Rally Kings is the “Desi Mods” system, which lets players add Indian-specific modifications to their vehicles. For example, you can install a “Chakri Exhaust” that produces a distinct desi sound, or a “Lassi Coolant” that reduces overheating in hot desert races. These mods not only enhance performance but also add a fun, cultural touch to the game.
Rajasthan Rally Kings boasts over 70 tracks spread across 15+ locations in India, with a primary focus on Rajasthan. Each track is designed to showcase the unique geography and culture of its location, making every race a new adventure.
Tracks are regularly updated with seasonal variations – for example, during monsoons, desert tracks become muddy, while hill tracks get foggy, reducing visibility. Special event tracks are also added during festivals, such as the Diwali Lights Track (decorated with rangoli and diyas) or the Holi Color Track (where colored powder splatters on your vehicle as you race).
Rajasthan Rally Kings offers 8 distinct game modes, catering to different playstyles and preferences. Whether you want to race solo, compete against friends, or participate in large-scale tournaments, there’s a mode for you:
The primary single-player mode, where you start as a rookie rally driver from a small town in Rajasthan and work your way up to become the “Rally King of India.” The mode features 10 chapters, each set in a different Indian state, with 8-10 races per chapter. Completing races earns you Rally Coins, experience points (XP), and reputation, which unlocks new vehicles, tracks, and upgrades.
Career Mode also includes a story element, with cutscenes that follow your journey – from facing off against local rivals to representing India in international rally events. The story is fully voice-acted in multiple Indian languages, with dialogues that reflect regional dialects and cultural nuances (e.g., Rajasthani “bhai” slang, Gujarati “chhello” greetings).
For players who want to jump straight into the action, Quick Race lets you select any unlocked track, vehicle, and difficulty level. Perfect for short gaming sessions (5-10 minutes) or practicing new tracks. You can race against AI opponents or set a time trial to beat your personal best.
Compete against real players from across India in 4-8 player online races. Multiplayer Mode offers two options: Random Match (race against strangers) or Friend Match (invite friends via WhatsApp, Facebook, or in-game ID). Races are ranked, with points awarded based on finish position – climb the leaderboard to earn exclusive rewards like rare vehicle mods or premium currency.
A unique feature of Multiplayer Mode is the “Desi Taunt” system, where you can send playful voice messages to opponents (e.g., “Tera vehicle toh gaddha hai!” or “Aage se hat ja, slowpoke!”) to add a fun, competitive edge. Taunts are available in 10+ Indian languages, ensuring that players from different regions can engage with each other.
Weekly tournaments organized by state (e.g., Rajasthan State Tournament, Maharashtra Rally Championship). Players can only participate in tournaments for their home state (based on device location) or any state they’ve unlocked by completing career chapters. Tournaments feature 3 rounds (Qualifiers, Semi-Finals, Finals) and offer big rewards like state-exclusive vehicle skins, Rally Coins, and a spot in the National Tournament.
Monthly tournaments that bring together the top 100 players from each state. The National Championship is a 5-round event with tracks from all over India, and the winner is crowned “National Rally King” – receiving a cash prize (via UPI), a custom-built gaming phone, and their name featured in the game’s Hall of Fame. The finals are live-streamed on Daman Games’ YouTube channel, with commentary in Hindi and English.
Create or join a clan with up to 50 players, and compete against other clans in weekly wars. Clans earn points by winning races, completing clan missions (e.g., “Win 50 desert races as a clan”), and donating resources to each other. The top clans at the end of the week receive clan-exclusive rewards like a clan banner for vehicles, a custom clan chat channel, and bonus Rally Coins.
Limited-time events tied to Indian festivals, seasons, or real-world rally events. Examples include:
Special events usually last 7-14 days and offer exclusive rewards that can’t be obtained through other modes. They’re a great way to keep the game fresh and engage the community during festive seasons.
For new players or those looking to improve their skills, Training Mode offers guided tutorials on core mechanics like steering, braking, terrain adaptation, and vehicle maintenance. There are also specialized training modules for each vehicle category and track type (e.g., “Desert Driving Mastery,” “Hill Climb Techniques”). Completing training modules earns you XP and small rewards, making it a great way to level up quickly.
One of the key reasons for Rajasthan Rally Kings’ massive success in India is its extensive localisation – the game isn’t just translated into Indian languages, but fully adapted to suit the cultural, linguistic, and technical preferences of players across different states. Daman Games recognizes that India is a diverse country, and a one-size-fits-all approach won’t work for a game targeting millions of players. As a result, Rajasthan Rally Kings offers multiple localised versions, each tailored to a specific region or language group.
Rajasthan Rally Kings supports 15+ Indian languages, covering the major linguistic groups of the country. This includes not just text translation, but also voice acting for in-game dialogues, navigation, and notifications. The game automatically detects your device’s language and sets it as the default, but you can change it anytime in the settings menu.
| Language | Text Support | Voice Support | Primary Regions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hindi | Yes | Yes (Standard Hindi + Rajasthani Dialect) | North India (Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Delhi, Haryana) |
| English | Yes | Yes (Indian English) | Pan-India (Urban Players, South India) |
| Tamil | Yes | Yes | Tamil Nadu, Puducherry |
| Telugu | Yes | Yes | Andhra Pradesh, Telangana |
| Kannada | Yes | Yes | Karnataka |
| Malayalam | Yes | Yes | Kerala, Lakshadweep |
| Gujarati | Yes | Yes | Gujarat, Daman & Diu |
| Marathi | Yes | Yes | Maharashtra, Goa |
| Bengali | Yes | Yes | West Bengal, Bangladesh (Indian Diaspora) |
| Punjabi | Yes | Yes | Punjab, Chandigarh |
| Odia | Yes | No (Coming Soon) | Odisha |
| Assamese | Yes | No (Coming Soon) | Assam, Northeast India |
The voice acting is done by local artists from each region, ensuring that the dialogues sound natural and authentic. For example, the Hindi voiceover uses Rajasthani dialect words like “banna,” “bai,” and “padharo mhare desh” to resonate with players from Rajasthan, while the Tamil voiceover includes colloquial terms like “machan” and “naanga” for a familiar feel.
Beyond language, Rajasthan Rally Kings adapts its content to reflect the culture, traditions, and preferences of different Indian regions. This includes:
As mentioned earlier, the game features tracks in 15+ Indian states, each showcasing local landmarks and geography. For example:
Each regional track also includes local elements like street food stalls (e.g., vada pav in Mumbai, dosa carts in Chennai), traditional music (e.g., Bhangra in Punjab, Carnatic music in Tamil Nadu), and clothing (e.g., sarees and dhotis for bystanders in Kerala, turbans in Punjab).
The game offers state-exclusive vehicle skins that reflect local culture. For example:
Regional mods are also available – for example, the “Mysore Sandalwood Air Freshener” mod (Karnataka) that reduces vehicle overheating, or the “Punjabi Lassi Coolant” mod that boosts acceleration in hot weather.
The game’s events and visuals are adapted to celebrate regional festivals. For example:
Rajasthan Rally Kings supports a wide range of Indian payment methods to make in-game purchases accessible to players across the country. This includes:
The in-game currency (Rally Coins) is priced in Indian Rupees (INR), with affordable bundles starting from ₹10 (100 Rally Coins) to ₹5000 (50,000 Rally Coins). There are also regional offers – for example, during Diwali, players in North India get 20% extra Rally Coins on purchases, while during Pongal, players in South India get exclusive discounts.
India has a diverse smartphone market, with a large number of players using budget devices (under ₹10,000) with limited RAM and storage. To ensure that Rajasthan Rally Kings is accessible to these players, Daman Games has implemented several technical localisation features:
These technical adaptations have paid off – Rajasthan Rally Kings has a 4.5-star rating on the Google Play Store for “Performance,” with over 80% of reviews praising the game’s smooth performance on budget devices.
Since its nationwide launch in October 2023, Rajasthan Rally Kings has become one of the fastest-growing mobile games in India.

While most reviews are positive, there are some common complaints from players. Daman Games has been proactive in addressing these issues through updates and community communication:
Player Complaint: “Multiplayer mode mein kabhi kabhi server down ho jata hai, especially when there are big tournaments. Bahut frustrating hota hai when you’re in the middle of a race.” (Sometimes the server goes down in Multiplayer mode, especially during big tournaments. It’s very frustrating when you’re in the middle of a race.)
Daman Games’ Response: The team has added 3 new regional servers (in Hyderabad, Pune, and Ahmedabad) to reduce load during peak times. They also introduced a “Server Stability Guarantee” – if a player is disconnected due to server issues during a tournament, they receive a free Jugaad Kit and XP compensation. In the latest update (October 2025), server downtime was reduced by 70%.
Player Complaint: “Ads thoda zyada ho gaya hai abhi. Kabhi kabhi quick race ke baad 2-3 ads aate hai, which breaks the flow.” (There are a bit too many ads now. Sometimes 2-3 ads come after a quick race, which breaks the flow.)
Daman Games’ Response: The team reduced the number of ads by 50% and introduced an “Ad-Free Pass” (₹99/month) for players who want to skip all ads. They also made ads optional – players can choose to watch an ad for extra rewards or skip it by waiting 5 seconds.
Player Complaint: “iOS version ka size 2GB hai, which is too much for my old iPhone. Low graphics mode nahi hai iOS pe, please add it.” (The iOS version is 2GB, which is too much for my old iPhone. There’s no low graphics mode on iOS, please add it.)

Player Complaint: “Main 6 months se khel raha hu, lekin new tracks kam aate hai. Please more regional tracks add karo, especially Northeast India ki.” (I’ve been playing for 6 months, but new tracks are added rarely. Please add more regional tracks, especially from Northeast India.)
