Game Story
Hanuman –The Boy Warrior <= o:p>
The story starts with a little lost monkey in the jungle. This monkey
has amnesia & is hopelessly lost. He wanders in the jungle for some time
& comes across a family. He becomes friends with the family & start=
s living
with them. The family consists of a husband, wife & their daughter (
One early morning the VanBaalaka goes ou=
t to
fetch some fruits for the family. When he is in the jungle there is a loud
explosion & the sky suddenly turns black. The sun is covered by the moon
(lunar eclipse) and VanBaalaka hurries back hom=
e to
find the entire family, the house & the surrounding landscape turned to
stone.
VanBaalaka tries to speak to the family members & Sunetri however no one responds since they are in a f=
rozen
rock state. VanBaalaka resolves to do everythin=
g he
can to bring the family back to life.VanBaalaka
notices a huge dark energy shaft in the sky over the temple in the village
& decides to explore. He goes to the temple and finds that everything
within a certain radius of the temple has turned to stone. He meets a priest
who is crying outside the temple. The priest tells him that the temple is
converted into rock & magically sealed with impenetrable layers of ston=
e.
Over the temple they see the energy shaft radiating with the forces of black
magic & dark energy.
The calamity is beginning to spread across the lands. The sun is
permanently eclipsed by the moon & life is getting increasingly threate=
ned.
VanBaalaka decides to journey the lands & learn the cause
behind this series of events. He hears about Asura
(demon) hordes that move when earthlings are sleeping into a village & =
use
their magic to turn the village into stone. Over time, VanBaalaka
learns of an Asura plot that is the root cause =
of all
the problems being faced on earth. Basically, the Asur=
as
have lived in caves for centuries and have reached a point where the caves =
are
overflowing. Hence they need more space & decide to take over earth.
However the Asuras cannot face the sun as it dr=
ains
them of their energy & magical powers. The Rakshas=
ha
King “Shirkasur” (one with many hea=
ds)
orders his court to find ways of overcoming the sun.
Ultimately, it is Shirkasur’s devi=
ous
mind that finds a way of overcoming the sun. Shirkasur=
orders his third minister Mayasura (who is a ma=
ster
of illusions) to create a strong illusion that t=
ricks
the great Sadhu (sage) Vas=
hishta
into using his powers to create a permanent lunar eclipse. Apart from Shirkasur and Mayasura ,Hanuman comes across various forces of evil such as =
the
three headed Naga Thakshaka ,Brahmarakshasa
the one who controls the powers of lightning.
The above forces of evil are supported by the smaller Danavas,Daityas,Pisachas a=
nd Yakshas whom Hanuman faces as he moves through the va=
rious
stages of the gameplay
As VanBaalaka travels the lands he hears
everyone praying for Hanuman to come & save them. He feels powerless &a=
mp;
tries to tell the villagers to keep moving away from the spreading evil that
has taken over the lands.
Through his journeys he meets several people & Sadhus
(Sages) and learns more about Hanuman and his powers. Finally, he learns th=
at a
few months ago Hanuman was struck while he was flying in the sky and that he
fell down with a great force down to earth. No one has heard of Hanuman sin=
ce
then. He decides to find Hanuman as he knows that Hanuman is the only person
who can help humankind & all the life on earth.
One day, he realizes that he (VanBaalaka)
himself is Hanuman. From there on he starts regaining his powers, one by on=
e.
He finally gets his Gadhaa (mace) which is his
primary weapon. Through his Gadhaa he gains the
ability to fight the Asuras & for every
Through the various stages of the game, Hanuman acquires various pow=
ers
(frenzies) to face the evil
Body
Rejuvenation (Health):
There are fruits strewn =
all
over the game world. Hanuman gathers health by collecting these fruits.
Different fruits give different quantities of health.
Life
Force:
The player can accumulate
“life force” by killing enemy creatures & transfer this to vari=
ous
life forms which could help the player to solve a puzzle or cross a hurdle /
challenge. Each and every destructible object and enemies will generate life
force. Life Force is collected automatically.
In a reverse mechanism, =
when
Hanuman encounters a person who has turned to stone, he can give his life f=
orce
to that person in order to revive him. This transfer is also done by a sing=
le
button press, and life force is transferred from his mace to the stone idol.
This is the reward for using life force for saving people.

Frenzy Attacks
Frenzy
Attacks are extremely powerful finisher style attacks, which can be launche=
d by
a single button press when the frenzy meter is full. The frenzy meter can o=
nly
be killed by fighting. Once in frenzy, hanuman will be invulnerable to dama=
ge,
and will do a particularly devastating attack, which can be one of the
following:
Stomping Damage:
Mighty Mace:
The Slam of the Gods
Hanuman
slams his mace to the ground, sending an energy bolt outwards, and stunning
enemies for three seconds.
Implosion
A
ball of energy implodes from Hanuman, damaging everyone in a radius.=
Hanuman has the abilit=
y to
transfer this life force into the life forms (humans, trees, animals) that =
have
been converted to stone thus bringing them back to life however he has to be
careful about who he brings back to life since this life force is limited.
Also, the life force allows him to unleash some special attacks against his
enemies so he has to balance the combat potency of his Gadhaa
against its potential to bring back life into the stone forms.
Hanuman’s ultimate objective is to ‘free’ the sun =
and
kill as many Asuras as possible or to banish th=
em back
to the underworld. In this process=
,Hanuman
passes through various obstacles, with Vayu gui=
ding
him in his fight against the evil. Ultimately Hanuman succeeds in overcoming
the all powerful Shirkasur, but doesn’t k=
ill
him instead frees his soul of the bad karma.
