The free-to-play game comes with in-app purchases and Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar had shared that 20 percent of the revenue will go to the ‘Bharat Ke Veer' trust. FAU-G has been made in India and promoted by Kumar, who also came up with the name.

The game has only been launched on Android with no information on when the iOS version will drop. nCore Games says that it will be adding a ‘Free for All' and a 5v5 ‘Team Deathmatch' mode to the game in the future. It has received mixed reviews from players with a lot of them asking for more content and additions to the campaign. nCore Games co-founder Vishal Gondal shared in an interview with NDTV that, down the line, the game will branch out into esports after creating a community, introducing PvP, and introducing battle royale modes.
