Mumbai based Jump Games which has its presence in Pune, Europe and USA has recently launched a series of Games based on patriotism under the title ‘Indian Warriors’.
The game Indian Warriors allows you to adapt a role of our freedom fighters and leaders – be it Shivaji Maharaj, Rani Lakshmi Bai, Bhagat Singh or Tipu Sultan. Each game offers unique circumstances and situation giving a glimpse into the freedom fighters life offering a very engaging and interesting experience.
For example if you are playing as Shivaji Maharaj you get to deal with a ploy that the enemies have hatched to assassinate Shivaji. But then Shivaji Maharaj is already aware about the whole plan and decides to face the danger himself. Play as the courageous Shivaji Maharaj and take down all the assassins on the walls of the forts. If player decides to be Rani Lakshmi Bai then the gamer has to escape the trap laid by the British Soldiers which has been laid to trap her.
Speaking to Animationxpress.com, about the game, Chaitanya Prabhu, Business Head India, Jump Games says, “‘Action’ is one of the strongest selling points in the gaming industry. As per our recent survey India is pretty sensitive to the patriotic emotion and hence we took caricatures from the past those which were idolized by all of us since childhood and clubbed it with action so the net result was a winning recipe of patriotism along with action dosage. This series is been made in conjunction After the popularity of the Border War Series the clear insight Jump gathered was that the Indian youth connects very intensely with patriotism. Games based on patriotism are an instant hit within the youth segment. Hence the whole Indian Warrior series has been developed. Small and fine integrities have been taken care of in the process of making this series right from the look to the body language of the characters to the kind of hurdle and difficulties.”
‘Indian Warriors’ is a classic arcade game with very vivid and crystal clear graphics. The game has 2 modes Normal Mode and surviving mode. Normal mode has exciting levels with various enemies and 3 different themes and in survival Mode player has to choose from 3 levels, each with a unique theme. Survive for as long as possible and reach as high up as possible to increase your score. Player can gain points by avoiding/killing enemies. The game has 8 levels and player has 5 lives to survive and complete the game.
Further talking about the challenges faced Chaitanya said, “The major challenge was the concept (What should be the game engine).The hero’s we had taken have all been freedom fighters and so we had to come up with a game that will justify their stature. Also the game needs to be fast paced and full of action. So while getting the game engine done we had to take care of following points: Action game play, Fast paced, Simple controls for pick-up and play Innovative power-ups”
