What is Chili Chargers?
Chili Chargers is an Indian-developed mobile game that combines fast-paced action with spicy-themed mechanics. Launched in 2022 by Mumbai-based studio SpiceLabs, the game has become a cultural phenomenon with its unique blend of Indian flavors and global gaming trends.
The core concept revolves around "chili power" - a spicy energy source that players collect to perform special moves and unlock new characters. Each character represents different regions of India, complete with regional costumes and dialects.
