Real Cricket 18 Review: Gameplay, Batting, Bowling, and More

There's no dearth of cricket games, but good games certainly are hard to come by. Indian developer Nautilus Games' premier cricket game now is Real Cricket 18. It is a brand new game built on a new engine, according to the developer. That makes it different from the many Real Cricket 17 spin-offs available on Android and iOS including Real Cricket Test Match and Real Cricket Premier League, etc. Nautilus seems to have tried to make Real Cricket 18 look and feel a lot like a live TV broadcast of a cricket match. Each game begins with an aerial shot of the city as the camera literally flies into the stadium. Everything from the toss to the action replays look a lot more like TV broadcasts, and there's even a pre- and mid-game show where so-called experts offer their thoughts on the game. While the intention definitely is to recreate a high-quality TV broadcast, the result is anything but that. Watch our Real Cricket 18 review video for our thoughts on the game.
