Indian players have developed some unique strategies that give them an edge in Penalty King. Here are some top tips from the country's best players:
Indian players excel at feinting before taking their shot. Practice the timing of your fake shots to send goalkeepers the wrong way more often. The key is to make your movement look natural - overdoing it makes the fake obvious.
During monsoon-themed events, adjust your strategy. The wet pitch affects ball speed and bounce. Many top Indian players prefer power shots during these events as they're less affected by the slippery surface than finesse shots.
Each Indian stadium in the game has unique characteristics. For example, the Salt Lake Stadium's open design makes wind a factor. Adjust your shot power accordingly when playing in different venues.
Developed by Indian players, this technique involves charging up a power shot but releasing it slightly earlier than maximum power. This creates a shot that's hard for goalkeepers to judge - it's not as slow as a full power shot but has more power than a standard shot.
Different regions of India have developed distinct play styles:
The developers have exciting plans to expand the game's Indian footprint:
The game is in talks with:
Plans to launch a dedicated Penalty King esports league in India with prize pools exceeding ₹1 crore, making it one of the biggest mobile esports initiatives in the country.
