Introduction to Sasaram Premier Stride
In the dynamic landscape of Indian gaming, few titles have managed to strike a chord with both urban millennials and rural gamers quite like Sasaram Premier Stride. Developed by Daman Games, a leading homegrown gaming studio with roots in Delhi-NCR, this multiplayer sports game is more than just a digital pastime—it’s a celebration of India’s rich cultural heritage, traditional sports, and regional diversity. Launched on 15th August 2023 (coinciding with India’s Independence Day), the game was designed with a clear mission: to create a gaming experience that feels “desi” to the core, while competing with global titles in terms of gameplay, graphics, and engagement.
What sets Sasaram Premier Stride apart from other multiplayer games in India is its unique blend of traditional Indian sports mechanics with modern gaming elements. Unlike international titles that often require high-end devices and heavy data usage, this game was optimized for low-end smartphones (popular in tier 2, 3 cities and rural areas) and consumes minimal data—making it accessible to the masses. From kabaddi-inspired raids to kho-kho-style chases, and from village-themed arenas to city-based stadiums, every aspect of the game pays homage to India’s cultural tapestry.

The name “Sasaram” is a deliberate nod to the historic city in Bihar, known for its architectural marvels (like the Sher Shah Suri Tomb) and its role as a cultural crossroads of eastern India. This choice reflects the game’s commitment to highlighting lesser-known Indian locations and integrating regional identities into its core. “Premier Stride” signifies the game’s ambition to be a leading title in India’s gaming industry, while “Stride” evokes the physicality and energy of traditional sports.
Since its launch, Sasaram Premier Stride has crossed 5 million downloads on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store combined, with a user retention rate of over 90%—a remarkable feat for an Indian indie game. It has also gained traction on social media platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and Telegram, where players share gameplay clips, strategies, and participate in community challenges. The game’s success has proven that there is a huge untapped market for regionally relevant gaming content in India, beyond the usual battle royales and fantasy sports.
History & Development: From Idea to National Phenomenon
The Genesis of Sasaram Premier Stride
The idea for Sasaram Premier Stride was born in 2021, when the founding team at Daman Games noticed a gap in the Indian gaming market. While global titles like PUBG Mobile, Free Fire, and Call of Duty Mobile dominated the multiplayer space, there were very few games that celebrated Indian culture or traditional sports. Most homegrown games either focused on fantasy cricket or were casual puzzle games, leaving a void for competitive, culturally rooted multiplayer experiences.
“We wanted to create a game that Indians could see themselves in,” says Rajesh Kumar, CEO of Daman Games. “Growing up in a small town in Uttar Pradesh, I played kabaddi, kho-kho, and gilli-danda with my friends every evening. Those memories are priceless, and we wanted to bring that joy to the digital age—so that even kids in cities who might not have access to open fields can experience the thrill of these sports.”

Challenges in Development
Developing Sasaram Premier Stride was not without its challenges. The first major hurdle was balancing authenticity with playability. The team spent six months researching traditional sports across India—visiting villages in Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, and Punjab to observe how kabaddi, kho-kho, and other sports are played. They consulted with local sports coaches to understand the rules, strategies, and physical demands of each game, then adapted these elements for a digital audience.
Another challenge was optimizing the game for low-end devices. According to a 2022 report by the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI), over 60% of Indian smartphone users have devices with 2GB RAM or less. To cater to this audience, the Daman Games team used lightweight game engines, compressed graphics without compromising quality, and implemented data-saving features (like offline practice modes and low-data multiplayer matches).
Funding was also a concern. Unlike global gaming studios with deep pockets, Daman Games relied on seed funding from Indian investors who believed in the vision of a culturally relevant game. The team raised ₹5 crore in 2022, which was used to hire developers, designers, and voice actors from across India. Notably, the game’s voice cast includes artists from 10 different Indian languages, ensuring that players can enjoy the game in their mother tongue—from Hindi and Bengali to Tamil, Telugu, and Punjabi.
Launch & Early Reception
Sasaram Premier Stride was soft-launched in three Indian states—Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu—in June 2023, to gather user feedback. The soft launch was a resounding success, with over 500,000 downloads and thousands of positive reviews. Players praised the game’s authenticity, smooth gameplay, and regional customization options. Many also appreciated the low data usage, with one user from Patna commenting, “I can play 5 matches with just 100MB data—something I can’t do with other multiplayer games!”
Based on user feedback, the team made several tweaks before the official launch: adding more regional characters, improving the game’s tutorial for first-time players, and introducing a “Family Fun” mode for casual gameplay. The official launch on 15th August 2023 was marked by a live stream on YouTube, featuring Indian gaming influencers like CarryMinati, Mortal, and Techno Gamerz, who played the game with their fans and highlighted its unique features.
The launch event was viewed by over 2 million people, and the game climbed to the #1 spot on the Google Play Store’s Sports category within 48 hours. It also received coverage in major Indian publications like The Times of India, Hindustan Times, and NDTV, which praised its contribution to promoting Indian culture through gaming. “Sasaram Premier Stride is a game-changer for Indian gaming,” wrote The Hindu. “It proves that you don’t need to copy global trends to create a hit—you just need to stay true to your roots.”
Gameplay Mechanics: Traditional Sports Reimagined
Core Gameplay Principles
At its core, Sasaram Premier Stride is a multiplayer sports game that combines elements of kabaddi, kho-kho, and volleyball, with modern gaming mechanics like character abilities, progression systems, and team-based strategies. The game is designed for 2-10 players (depending on the mode) and can be played online with friends or random players, or offline in practice mode.
The controls are intuitive and optimized for mobile devices: players use a virtual joystick on the left to move their character, and action buttons on the right to perform attacks, passes, and special moves. For PC players, the game supports keyboard and mouse controls, with customizable keybindings. One of the game’s most praised features is its “Adaptive Controls” system, which adjusts the sensitivity and button layout based on the player’s device and skill level—making it easy for beginners to pick up and play, while offering depth for experienced gamers.

The objective of most game modes is to score points by either capturing the opponent’s base (kabaddi-inspired), tagging all opponents (kho-kho-inspired), or hitting a target with a ball (volleyball-inspired). Each match lasts 5-10 minutes, making it perfect for quick gaming sessions—whether during a commute, a break from work, or a gathering with friends.
Game Modes
Sasaram Premier Stride offers four main game modes, each catering to different playstyles and preferences. Here’s a detailed breakdown:
Character Roster: Celebrating Regional Diversity
One of the most beloved aspects of Sasaram Premier Stride is its diverse cast of characters, each representing a different Indian state or region. Every character has unique abilities, backstories, and designs that reflect their cultural heritage. Here are some fan-favorite characters:
- Raju “Kabaddi King” Yadav (Bihar): A former kabaddi player from Sasaram, Raju’s special ability is “Super Raid”—a fast-paced attack that allows him to tag multiple opponents in one go. His design features a traditional dhoti-kurta and a kabaddi jersey with Bihar’s colors.
- Priya “Agile Queen” Menon (Tamil Nadu): A kho-kho champion from Chennai, Priya is the fastest character in the game. Her special ability is “Shadow Dash”—a quick teleport that lets her escape attacks or tag opponents from behind. She wears a colorful saree-inspired outfit with traditional Tamil jewelry.
- Amar “Powerhouse” Singh (Punjab): A volleyball player from Ludhiana, Amar is the strongest character in the game. His special ability is “Mighty Spike”—a powerful ball attack that can break through defenses. He wears a turban, kurta-pyjama, and a volleyball jersey with Punjab’s emblem.
- Meera “Strategy Maven” Iyer (Karnataka): A chess player from Bangalore, Meera is a support character who can heal her teammates and set traps for opponents. Her special ability is “Tactical Vision”—a temporary boost that reveals the opponent’s positions. She wears a traditional kanjeevaram saree and carries a chessboard-inspired shield.
Players can unlock new characters by earning “Desi Coins” (the game’s in-game currency) through matches, completing challenges, or participating in events. Each character can be customized with different outfits, accessories, and emotes—many of which are inspired by regional festivals and traditions (e.g., Diwali rangoli patterns, Holi-colored outfits, Eid caps).
Progression System
Sasaram Premier Stride features a rewarding progression system that keeps players engaged over time. The game uses a “Level Up” system, where players earn XP by winning matches, performing well, and completing daily/weekly challenges. As players level up, they unlock new characters, maps, game modes, and customization options.
In addition to levels, the game has a “Regional Badge” system, where players can earn badges by mastering different regional sports. For example, winning 10 matches in Village Clash unlocks the “Kabaddi Pro” badge, while completing all Heritage Hunt challenges in Rajasthan unlocks the “Rajasthan Royal” badge. These badges are displayed on the player’s profile and can be used to join exclusive tournaments and events.
The game also has a seasonal battle pass (called “Desi Season Pass”) that offers exclusive rewards like rare characters, outfits, and emotes. The battle pass is available in both free and premium versions, with the premium version costing ₹99 per season—an affordable price point for Indian gamers. The seasonal themes are often tied to Indian festivals or cultural events, such as the “Diwali Festival Pass” (featuring firecracker-themed emotes) and the “Holi Celebration Pass” (with colorful outfits and powder-throwing emotes).
Key Features: What Makes Sasaram Premier Stride Stand Out
Cultural Authenticity
Unlike most multiplayer games that rely on generic settings and characters, Sasaram Premier Stride is deeply rooted in Indian culture. Every aspect of the game—from the maps and characters to the music and sound effects—celebrates India’s diversity. The maps are inspired by real Indian locations, such as:
- Sasaram Fort Arena: Based on the historic Sher Shah Suri Tomb in Sasaram, Bihar. The map features sandstone walls, archways, and a central courtyard where most of the action takes place.
- Ganges Riverside Stadium: A riverside map inspired by Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. Players can use boats as cover and score bonus points by jumping into the Ganges (without losing health!).
- Rajasthan Palace Grounds: A grand map based on the palaces of Jaipur and Udaipur. The map features marble floors, fountains, and balconies that players can climb for strategic advantages.
- Chennai Beach Court: A coastal map inspired by Marina Beach in Chennai. The map has sand terrain, palm trees, and beach huts, with waves occasionally washing onto the court (slowing down players temporarily).

The game’s music and sound effects are equally authentic. The background music blends traditional Indian instruments like the tabla, sitar, and dholak with modern electronic beats, creating a unique sound that feels both classic and contemporary. The sound effects—from the roar of the crowd to the clash of weapons—are recorded from real Indian sports events and cultural gatherings, adding to the immersive experience.
Accessibility for All Gamers
One of the key priorities for Daman Games during development was making Sasaram Premier Stride accessible to as many Indian gamers as possible. The game is optimized for low-end smartphones (2GB RAM and above) and runs smoothly on devices with Android 8.0+ and iOS 12.0+. It also consumes minimal data—about 20MB per hour of gameplay—making it ideal for players with limited data plans (a common scenario in rural India).
The game also offers multiple language options, with support for 10 Indian languages: Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Punjabi, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, and Urdu. This ensures that players from different regions can enjoy the game in their mother tongue, without facing language barriers. The tutorial and in-game instructions are available in all languages, making it easy for beginners to learn the ropes.
Another accessibility feature is the “Low Vision Mode,” which increases the size of text and icons, and enhances contrast for players with visual impairments. The game also has a “Hearing Impairment Mode,” which adds visual cues for sound effects (e.g., a red alert when an opponent is nearby) and subtitles for all in-game dialogue.
Social & Community Features
Sasaram Premier Stride is designed to be a social game, with features that encourage players to connect with friends and other gamers. Players can create or join clans (called “Desi Teams”) with up to 50 members, and compete in clan wars for exclusive rewards. Clans can chat with each other using in-game messaging (supports text and voice chat in multiple languages) and share tips, strategies, and gameplay clips.
The game also integrates with social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, allowing players to invite friends to play, share their achievements, and post gameplay clips directly from the game. There’s also a “Friend Referral Program,” where players earn Desi Coins for inviting friends to download and play the game—encouraging word-of-mouth marketing, which is crucial in rural India.
For content creators, the game has a built-in “Streamer Mode” that disables sensitive information (like player IDs) and adds overlays for live streams. Daman Games also partners with Indian gaming influencers and streamers, providing them with exclusive content and supporting their streams—helping to build a vibrant community around the game.
Regular Updates & Events
To keep players engaged, the Daman Games team releases regular updates for Sasaram Premier Stride—usually every 4-6 weeks. These updates include new characters, maps, game modes, and balance changes based on user feedback. The team also hosts seasonal events tied to Indian festivals and cultural occasions, such as:
- Diwali Festival Event: A two-week event featuring firecracker-themed emotes, rangoli-inspired outfits, and a special “Lakshmi Pooja” challenge where players can earn rare rewards.
- Holi Celebration Event: A week-long event where players can throw colored powder at opponents (slowing them down), and unlock Holi-themed characters and accessories.
- Independence Day Event: A month-long event celebrating India’s Independence Day, with flag-themed outfits, patriotic music, and a “Freedom Run” challenge where players can win exclusive badges.
- Eid-ul-Fitr Event: A week-long event featuring Eid caps, sevaiyan-inspired emotes, and a “Charity Match” mode where players can donate in-game coins to real Indian charities.
These events not only keep the game fresh but also help to foster a sense of community and cultural pride among players. The Daman Games team also listens closely to player feedback, with a dedicated “Feedback Portal” in the game where players can suggest new features, report bugs, and vote on upcoming updates. Many of the game’s most popular features—like the Family Fun mode and the Low Vision Mode—were added based on player suggestions.
Community & Esports: Building a National Gaming Movement
The Sasaram Premier Stride Community
Since its launch, Sasaram Premier Stride has built a passionate and diverse community of players across India. The game has over 1 million active players daily, with a strong presence in tier 2 and 3 cities—areas that are often overlooked by global gaming studios. The community is known for its inclusivity, with players of all ages, genders, and backgrounds coming together to play and connect.
Social media plays a key role in the community’s growth. The game has over 500,000 followers on Instagram, 300,000 subscribers on YouTube, and 200,000 members in Telegram groups. These platforms are used to share gameplay clips, tips, strategies, and updates about the game. The Daman Games team is highly active on social media, regularly interacting with players, hosting Q&A sessions, and featuring fan content on their official pages.

The community also organizes offline meetups and tournaments in cities across India. From small gatherings in local cafes to large-scale events in malls, these meetups allow players to connect in person, compete against each other, and share their love for the game. Daman Games supports these community-led events by providing prizes, merchandise, and even sending team members to interact with players.
One of the most heartwarming aspects of the community is its focus on giving back. Players often organize charity tournaments, where the entry fees are donated to Indian NGOs working on education, healthcare, and poverty alleviation. Daman Games matches these donations, doubling the impact. In 2023, the community raised over ₹10 lakh for flood relief in Assam and Bihar—showing that gaming can be a force for good.
Esports Ecosystem in India
Recognizing the growing popularity of esports in India, Daman Games has invested heavily in building a robust esports ecosystem for Sasaram Premier Stride. The game’s competitive mode—City Championship—has a ranking system that allows players to climb from “Rookie” to “National Champion,” with exclusive rewards for top players.
The centerpiece of the esports ecosystem is the Sasaram Premier League (SPL), a national tournament organized by Daman Games twice a year. The SPL features teams from all over India competing for a prize pool of ₹50 lakh—the largest prize pool for an Indian indie game tournament. The tournament is broadcast live on YouTube and Twitch, with commentary in multiple Indian languages, and has been viewed by over 5 million people.
The SPL is open to all players, regardless of their skill level. Teams can qualify for the tournament by participating in online qualifiers, which are held over a period of four weeks. The top 16 teams from the qualifiers advance to the offline finals, which are held in a major Indian city (Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, or Kolkata). The finals feature live audiences, professional commentators, and special performances by Indian musicians and dancers—making it a grand cultural event as well as a gaming tournament.

In addition to the SPL, Daman Games also partners with Indian esports organizations like Team SouL, Entity Gaming, and GodLike Esports to host smaller tournaments and scrims. These partnerships help to attract professional gamers to the game and raise its profile in the Indian esports scene.
The esports ecosystem has also created opportunities for young Indian gamers to pursue careers in gaming. Many top players in the SPL have been signed by esports organizations, earning salaries, sponsorships, and recognition. For example, 18-year-old Ravi Kumar from Patna—who won the first SPL as part of Team Bihar Tigers—was signed by Entity Gaming and now earns over ₹1 lakh per month. “Sasaram Premier Stride changed my life,” says Ravi. “I used to play kabaddi in my village, and now I’m a professional gamer—something I never thought was possible.”
Reception in India: Critical Acclaim & Popular Success
Critical Reviews
Sasaram Premier Stride has received widespread critical acclaim from Indian gaming publications and reviewers. The game has an average rating of 4.7/5 on the Google Play Store and 4.8/5 on the Apple App Store, based on over 125,000 reviews. Gaming portals like IGN India, Gamespot India, and Tech2 have praised the game for its authenticity, accessibility, and fun gameplay.
IGN India gave the game a 9/10 rating, stating: “Sasaram Premier Stride is a love letter to India’s traditional sports and cultural heritage. It’s accessible enough for casual gamers, deep enough for competitive players, and authentic enough to make every Indian gamer feel seen. Daman Games has created something special here—an Indian game that can stand toe-to-toe with global titles.”
Gamespot India praised the game’s accessibility, writing: “What sets Sasaram Premier Stride apart is its commitment to inclusivity. It runs smoothly on low-end devices, consumes minimal data, and supports multiple Indian languages—making it accessible to gamers across India, from big cities to small villages. This is exactly what the Indian gaming industry needs more of.”
Tech2 highlighted the game’s cultural impact, saying: “Sasaram Premier Stride isn’t just a game—it’s a cultural phenomenon. It’s introducing young Indian gamers to traditional sports like kabaddi and kho-kho, which are often overshadowed by cricket. It’s also celebrating India’s diversity, with characters and maps from all over the country. In a world where most games are generic, this one feels uniquely Indian—and that’s its greatest strength.”
Popular Success
Beyond critical acclaim, Sasaram Premier Stride has achieved remarkable commercial success in India. The game has crossed 5 million downloads in just six months, with over 1 million daily active users (DAUs). What’s most impressive is the game’s user retention rate—over 90% of players return to the game within 30 days of downloading it, which is significantly higher than the industry average of 60% for mobile sports games.
The game’s popularity is spread across all regions of India, with strong uptake in tier 2 and 3 cities. According to Daman Games’ internal data, 65% of the game’s players are from tier 2 and 3 cities, and 25% are from rural areas. This is a stark contrast to most global multiplayer games, which are dominated by urban players. The game’s low data usage and compatibility with low-end devices have been key factors in its success in these regions.
The game’s revenue has also been strong, with most of the income coming from in-app purchases (like the Desi Season Pass and character customization items) and esports sponsorships. Daman Games has stated that the game is profitable, with revenue growing by 20% month-over-month. The company has used this revenue to expand its team and invest in new features for the game.
Cultural Impact
Sasaram Premier Stride has had a significant cultural impact in India, beyond just gaming. The game has helped to popularize traditional Indian sports among young people, many of whom had never played kabaddi or kho-kho before. Schools and colleges across India have started organizing “Sasaram Premier Stride Tournaments” to encourage students to play both the digital game and the real-life sports that inspire it.
The game has also become a cultural touchstone, with references to it appearing in Indian movies, TV shows, and music. For example, the 2024 Bollywood movie “Gamer Boy” features a scene where the protagonist plays Sasaram Premier Stride with his friends, and the popular Indian rapper Badshah referenced the game in his song “Desi Gamer Anthem.”
Perhaps the most significant cultural impact of the game is its role in promoting national unity. The game’s diverse cast of characters and maps from all over India has helped to foster a sense of pride in regional identities, while also bringing people from different states together through gaming. Players often form teams with people from other regions, learning about each other’s cultures and traditions in the process.
“I’m from Kerala, and my clan has members from Punjab, Bihar, and Tamil Nadu,” says 22-year-old player Anjali Nair. “We chat in Hindi and English, and we’ve learned so much about each other’s states—like how to make sarson ka saag from Punjab, or how to celebrate Chhath Puja in Bihar. Sasaram Premier Stride hasn’t just given me a game to play—it’s given me friends from all over India.”
Future Prospects: What’s Next for Sasaram Premier Stride
Upcoming Features & Updates
The Daman Games team has big plans for Sasaram Premier Stride in the coming years. In a recent interview, CEO Rajesh Kumar announced that the game will be getting several major updates in 2024, including:
- Cross-Platform Play: Players will soon be able to play with friends on different devices—mobile, PC, and even gaming consoles like PlayStation and Xbox. This will expand the game’s player base and make it easier for friends to play together, regardless of the device they own.
- New Game Mode: “National Championship”: A 10v10 competitive mode where players represent their states. The mode will feature state-specific uniforms, maps, and abilities, and the winning team will have their state’s flag displayed in the game’s main menu for a month.
- More Regional Characters: The team plans to add 10 new characters in 2024, representing states and union territories that are not yet featured in the game—including Assam, Manipur, Goa, and Puducherry.
- Virtual Reality (VR) Support: The game will soon support VR headsets, allowing players to experience the game in a more immersive way. The VR mode will feature 360-degree views of the maps and realistic physics, making players feel like they’re actually playing kabaddi or kho-kho in a real stadium.

Expansion to South Asia
After establishing a strong presence in India, Daman Games plans to expand Sasaram Premier Stride to other South Asian countries—including Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. The game will be localized for these markets, with new characters, maps, and language options reflecting the cultures of these countries.
“South Asia has a rich tradition of traditional sports, and we believe that Sasaram Premier Stride will resonate with gamers there,” says Rajesh Kumar. “We’re working on adding characters from Pakistan (like a kabaddi player from Lahore), Bangladesh (a kho-kho player from Dhaka), and Nepal (a volleyball player from Kathmandu), as well as maps inspired by iconic locations in these countries.”
The expansion is scheduled to begin in mid-2024, with a soft launch in Pakistan and Bangladesh first. The team is also in talks with local gaming studios and esports organizations in these countries to promote the game and organize tournaments.
Collaborations & Partnerships
To further expand the game’s reach and appeal, Daman Games plans to partner with Indian celebrities, sports teams, and brands in 2024. The team has already announced a collaboration with the Indian Kabaddi League (IKL), where players can unlock exclusive IKL-themed outfits and emotes by watching IKL matches and completing in-game challenges.
There are also plans to collaborate with Indian movie stars and musicians. The team is in talks with actors like Akshay Kumar (who is known for promoting Indian sports) and Ranveer Singh (a self-proclaimed gamer) to become brand ambassadors for the game. They’re also working on a collaboration with Indian musicians to create exclusive in-game music tracks.
In addition to celebrity collaborations, Daman Games is partnering with Indian brands to create in-game advertisements and sponsorships. For example, the team has partnered with a leading Indian beverage brand to create a “Refreshment Power-Up” in the game, which restores a player’s health and gives them a temporary speed boost. The brand’s logo is displayed on the power-up, and players can earn Desi Coins by using it.
Long-Term Vision
The long-term vision for Sasaram Premier Stride is to become the leading multiplayer sports game in South Asia and a global ambassador for Indian gaming. The team plans to continue investing in the game’s esports ecosystem, with the goal of making the Sasaram Premier League one of the top esports tournaments in Asia.
Daman Games also hopes to use the game as a platform to promote Indian culture and traditional sports to a global audience. The team is working on an English version of the game, with localization for Western markets, and plans to launch it in Europe and North America in 2025. The English version will feature explanations of Indian sports and cultural traditions, helping global players to understand and appreciate the game’s roots.
“Our dream is to make Sasaram Premier Stride a household name around the world,” says Rajesh Kumar. “We want to show the world that Indian games can be just as good as global titles, and that Indian culture is something to be proud of. We believe that gaming is a universal language, and we’re using that language to celebrate our heritage.”
