Hanuman: Boy Warrior tells the story of Hanuman spanned across two key phases in his life, Bal Hanuman which is his childhood, and Yuva Hanuman, which is his early adulthood. In the game, Hanuman faces many villains from Indian mythology and has at his disposal a slew of weapons and abilities. The story is one in which ‘Good Triumphs over Evil’ and every enemy defeated has his soul cleansed of the evil inside it. Unlike most of the violent games of today, the game tries to convey the message that evil cannot be smothered and must be freed of its Bad Karma. Hanuman: Boy Warrior puts forth the significance of becoming a hero through bravery and justness of one’s actions.

Santosh Pillai stressed that the game was not about violence or bloodshed but about courage and heroism through just means. We were at the launch of Hanuman: Boy Warrior, and we must say that it looks quite impressive considering that nothing like this for consoles have ever been made before and entirely by an Indian developer.
