Capturing the aura of both the mighty warriors on the mobile screen, Mauj Mobile has designed a high-quality game filled with lively animations and striking graphics for their end consumers. Cashing on the increasing demand of mythological based content within the Indian market, the games have been developed based on the renounced war. With easy maneuverability and a save-in option, the games offer the much-needed game-play value on the mobile phone.
Speaking on behalf of Mauj Mobile, Mr. Manoj Dawane, CEO, Mauj Mobile, said, “Infusing Indian mythology with mobile technology, we have packaged two very interesting games around the greatest epic in the Indian culture. Being one of the leading gaming companies, we identified the growing interest around mythological based content and took up the responsibility to create and offer exciting content based on Indian legend. Appealing to our consumers across age groups, our games are definite to cater to the gaming as well as conventional needs of our patrons”
The first game is based on Pandava Arjun’s 16-year-old son Abhimanyu. Playing as the young but vigorous warrior, the player has to face the greatest challenge of the war – The Chakravyuh. The courageous youth knew the path to break the planned Chakravyuh but did not know the way out. Caught in the demon’s circle, the player has to alone battle the wrath of the Kaurava Army with the likes of the mighty Drona, Kaurava King Duryodhana, the evil Dushyasana and others.
‘Bheeshma’, as the name suggests is a game based on the legendary combatant Devevrath. Fighting against his own nephews, the character is torn between the loyalty towards his kingdom of Hastinapur and affection for the Pandavas. With a promise to vanquish the enemy’s army without hurting his nephews, the game revolves around slaying the Pandava army.
