Retrace the adventures of a Maratha legend
Tanhaji - The Maratha Warrior is a free-to-play adventure game from AbracaDabra Software Solutions Pvt. Ltd. This lets you experience the thrill and action of Tanhaji Malusare, a Maratha warrior tasked with recapturing the Kondhana fortress. This is a 3D game that will pit you against human enemies as well as beasts.
While the graphics might not be comparable to other triple-A titles, Tanhaji - The Maratha Warrior makes up for it with its engaging storyline and well-crafted cutscenes. You can also check out Ninja Prince Assassin Persia or FAU-G.
Recapture the Kondhana Fort
Tanhaji - The Maratha Warrior lets you follow the titular character. He was a popular character in Indian folklore, best known for his work in recapturing an enemy’s fortified position. His bravery, valor, and loyalty to his king Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj have made him a well-known figure, and this game lets you follow his exploits. With the same overall premise, you control Tanhaji as he fights enemies to complete his quest.
As an action experience, it sticks to a straightforward gameplay design. You use your sword as you fight against a variety of enemies, from enemy soldiers and officers to wild animals. There are 12 levels available, each contributing to the overall narrative. The ranking system in the game highlights the progression, while also giving players an insight into Indian culture.
Another aspect that reinforces its impressive storytelling is the cutscene. Each transition has been well-designed and ties one level to the next. However, the animations are not smooth, compared to their contemporaries. The game’s movement and combat are too stiff and angular. Another concern with the game is that it lacks a save option, resetting your progress every time you play the game.
A commendable effort, with room for improvement
Tanhaji - The Maratha Warrior immerses players in the legendary exploits of the titular character, known for his valor in recapturing Kondhana Fort. Through 12 levels of action-packed gameplay, players experience Tanhaji's loyalty to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Despite its engaging narrative and cultural insights, the game falters with stiff animations and the absence of a save option, detracting from an otherwise compelling experience of historical heroism and bravery.
