About This Game

Unsung Empire: The Cholas is a single-player narrative-driven 3D action-adventure game featuring sword-based combat and platforming elements. Players traverse a variety of environments, moving through forests, cities, caves, and wilderness to advance through the game's story. Utilizing swords, engaging in melee combat, and employing stealth are key to overcoming hostile enemies. For most of the game, players take on the role of Rajendra Chola — the Tamil Chola emperor of South India who succeeded his father, Rajaraja Chola I, and ascended to the throne in 1025 CE. The prologue follows his journey of overseas conquest, where the Chola Navy crossed the ocean and launched an attack on the Srivijaya kingdom of Sangrama Vijayatungavarman.
