Rise of Incarnates’ Newest Addition…
(Link is arguably NSFW due to “totally not nudity” sexualized design)
The link doesn’t work anymore, so here’s the character’s Wikia page

…is a legitimate nightmare design. How…I can’t formulate words to describe just how…not-good-and-definitely-not-sexy this is.
This is by far one of the worst cases of sexualized exotification of Kali (again, a major figure in a religion practiced by a billion people) with transparent disclaimers of “well it’s technology not the real Kali” and “well it’s an Indian character”.
The character herself basically an almost white passing ripoff of SiN’s Elexis Sinclair (the Bianca Beauchamp version) with a Kali “battle form” that makes SMITE’s rendition look sensitive and nuanced. Oh and she swears like a sailor because “edgy”.
The game is free to play (competitive) with the model of getting people to pay to unlock characters. According to Steam it has mixed reviews with a lot of the negative reviews focusing on the price to unlock characters and lack of people to compete with.
Basically their game isn’t’ going well so they decided to try to make it more like SMITE, Soul Calibur and SiN.
Then they’ll go home and wonder why people have many negative opinions of video games and mainstream developers.
