Warrior's Creed: Indian Bushido Code
Experience India's ancient warrior traditions reborn in this epic martial arts adventure!
Introduction to Warrior's Creed: Indian Bushido Code
Warrior's Creed: Indian Bushido Code is not just another fighting game, bhai. It's a tribute to India's rich martial arts heritage that has been passed down through centuries.
Launched in 2022 by a team of Indian game developers from Bangalore, this game brings to life the forgotten warrior codes of ancient India. While "bushido" is a Japanese term, the game draws parallels to our own Indian warrior philosophies like the Rajput "dharma" or Sikh "shastra-vidya".
What makes Warrior's Creed: Indian Bushido Code truly special is how it showcases the diversity of Indian martial traditions. From the Kalaripayattu warriors of Kerala to the Gatka experts of Punjab, from the Malla-yuddha wrestlers of Uttar Pradesh to the Silambam masters of Tamil Nadu – this game has it all!
What Makes Warrior's Creed: Indian Bushido Code Unique?
- 12 distinct Indian martial arts styles, each with authentic moves and techniques
- Warriors based on historical Indian figures from different regions and eras
- Battlegrounds inspired by real Indian locations – from Himalayan forts to South Indian temples
- Story mode that follows the "dharma" (duty) of a warrior, with moral choices
- Voice acting in multiple Indian languages with authentic regional accents
The game's tagline, "शौर्यं परमो धर्मः" (Valour is the highest duty), perfectly captures its essence. It's not just about winning fights – it's about fighting with honor, respecting your opponent, and upholding your principles – just like our ancient Indian warriors did.
Many players have said that Warrior's Creed: Indian Bushido Code has taught them more about Indian martial history than their school textbooks! That's the power of this game, yaar – entertainment with education.
Gameplay of Warrior's Creed: Indian Bushido Code
The gameplay of Warrior's Creed: Indian Bushido Code is designed to be authentic yet accessible. You don't need to be a martial arts expert to enjoy it, but those who understand the real techniques will appreciate the attention to detail.
Controls are intuitive for Indian mobile users – swipe in different directions for different attacks, tap to block, and use special gestures for powerful "astra" (weapon) moves. The game works smoothly even on mid-range Android phones, which is crucial for players across India.
Game Modes Available
- Dharma Quest: Story mode following a warrior's journey through ancient India
- State Championship: Represent your state's martial art against others
- Warrior Duel: Quick 1v1 battles for when you have limited time
- Mahabharata War: Large-scale 5v5 battles with team-based strategies
- Festival Tournaments: Special events during Diwali, Holi, and other festivals
Each warrior in Warrior's Creed: Indian Bushido Code has a unique set of moves based on their regional martial art. For example, the Kerala warrior uses Kalaripayattu's fluid, dance-like movements, while the Punjabi warrior specializes in Gatka's stick fighting techniques.
What's really cool, bhai, is that the game includes "Guru Mode" where you can learn about the history and philosophy behind each martial art. It's like having a martial arts master teaching you while you play!
The game also features a unique "Dharma System" where your choices in battle affect your warrior's honor. Do you finish off a wounded opponent (adharma) or spare them (dharma)? These choices unlock different skins and abilities, adding depth to the gameplay.
Indian Martial Arts Styles in the Game
Warrior's Creed: Indian Bushido Code features 12 authentic Indian martial arts styles, each with its own unique history, techniques, and philosophy. This is what truly sets it apart from other fighting games in India.
The developers worked with real martial arts masters from across India to ensure every move is accurate. You can really feel the difference between the styles – it's not just different animations, but completely different fighting philosophies!
Kalaripayattu (Kerala)
One of the oldest martial arts in the world, known for its fluid movements and weapon techniques. In the game, these warriors are fast and agile, with deadly kicks and spear attacks.
Gatka (Punjab)
The Sikh martial art of stick fighting, emphasizing speed and precision. Gatka warriors in the game excel at mid-range combat with their wooden sticks (guru ka bana).
Silambam (Tamil Nadu)
Ancient staff-fighting art from South India. These warriors use long bamboo staffs with incredible skill, keeping opponents at bay with sweeping attacks.
Malla-yuddha (Uttar Pradesh)
Traditional Indian wrestling that inspired modern kushti. These warriors are slow but powerful, specializing in grapples and throws that can end fights instantly.
Thang-ta (Manipur)
"The art of the sword and spear" from Northeast India. These warriors are deadly with both melee weapons and throwing darts (sangai).
Kuttu Varisai (Tamil Nadu)
Empty-hand combat style from South India, focusing on strikes to pressure points. These warriors are deadly even without weapons, making them versatile fighters.
Each style in Warrior's Creed: Indian Bushido Code has strengths and weaknesses, encouraging players to learn multiple styles. Many Indian players enjoy mastering their regional martial art and then challenging players from other states – it's like a friendly competition between our diverse cultures!
Downloads and Player Statistics
Warrior's Creed: Indian Bushido Code has been a massive hit since its launch in India. Within just two months, it crossed 10 million downloads – a record for an Indian-developed fighting game!
As of 2023, Warrior's Creed: Indian Bushido Code has been downloaded over 30 million times across India. This makes it the most popular martial arts game in the country, and one of the top 5 Indian-developed mobile games overall.
Player Statistics in India
The game's popularity spans all regions of India, but interestingly, the highest number of players come from Tamil Nadu (22%), followed by Punjab (18%), Kerala (15%), and Uttar Pradesh (14%). This reflects the pride Indians take in their regional martial traditions!
What's impressive is the game's gender balance – about 42% of players are female, which is much higher than the average for fighting games in India (usually around 20-25%). The developers attribute this to their inclusive character designs and marketing.
Players in India spend an average of 58 minutes per day on Warrior's Creed: Indian Bushido Code, with peak times between 6 PM and 11 PM. This fits perfectly with the Indian lifestyle – after finishing work or studies, people relax with some warrior action!
The game is particularly popular in tier-2 and tier-3 cities, with 58% of players coming from non-metro areas. This is because the developers optimized the game to run smoothly on low-cost Android devices with 2GB RAM or less – which are commonly used in smaller cities and towns across India.
Player Reviews from India

Indian Player Strategies & Tips
To master Warrior's Creed: Indian Bushido Code, you need more than just quick reflexes – you need to understand the unique strategies that work best in the Indian gaming community. Here are some pro tips from top Indian players:
Style Selection for Different States
According to "Kalariking" (real name: Vinod), ranked #3 in India:
"When playing against players from North India, I always pick Kuttu Varisai. Unke warriors ko close combat mein problem hoti hai. (Their warriors struggle with close combat.) Their style is more about power than speed."
"South Indian players, especially from Tamil Nadu, are experts at Silambam. Aapko unke range se dur rehna chahiye. Malla-yuddha style best hota hai inke against. (You should stay out of their range. Malla-yuddha style works best against them.)"
"Kerala ke players bahut tez hote hai. Unse ladte waqt patience bahut zaroori hai. Thoda sa wait karne se hi unhe nakaam banaya ja sakta hai. (Kerala players are very fast. Patience is crucial when fighting them. Just a little waiting can defeat them.)"
Team Battle Tactics
From "GatkaQueen" (Amrit Kaur), champion of the 2023 Punjab Tournament:
"In Mahabharata War mode, team composition is everything. Mere team mein hamesha ek Kalaripayattu, ek Gatka, aur ek Malla-yuddha hota hai – perfect balance! (In my team, there's always one Kalaripayattu, one Gatka, and one Malla-yuddha – perfect balance!)"
"Indian players often make the mistake of all rushing together. Humare yahan ke yuddha granthon mein likha hai ki vyavastha se hi vijay milti hai. (Our ancient war texts say that victory comes through organization.)"
"Communication is key – use the in-game voice chat in your regional language. Humein apne bhasha mein hi sabse accha samajh mein aata hai. (We understand best in our own language.)"
Best Times to Play in India
From "WarriorRaj" (Rajesh), a popular gaming streamer from Bangalore:
"Morning 7-9 AM is the best time for beginners to practice. Is samay jyada experienced players nahi hote hai. (Not many experienced players are online at this time.)"
"Competitive players should log in between 9-11 PM. Yahan sabse tough opponents hote hai, jo aapko asli challenge dete hai. (This is when you'll find the toughest opponents who give you a real challenge.)"
"Weekends mein family time hota hai, isliye Saturday aur Sunday mornings thode khali hote hai. Perfect time to climb leaderboards! (Weekends are family time, so Saturday and Sunday mornings are a bit empty.)"
Tournament Winning Strategies
According to "SilambamSiva", winner of the 2023 National Championship:
"Tournaments mein pehle do matches mein apne style ko chhupa ke rakho. Doston ke sath milkar opponent ki weakness dhundo. (In tournaments, hide your style in the first two matches. Find your opponent's weakness with friends.)"
"Indian tournaments mein emotions bahut zaroori hai. Apne state ke naam se khelte waqt jo josh aata hai, woh hi asli shakti hai. (Emotions are very important in Indian tournaments. The passion you feel when playing for your state is your real strength.)"
"Final matches mein hamesha apne regional style se khelo. Wohi aapko sabse zyada confidence deta hai. (Always play with your regional style in final matches. It gives you the most confidence.)"
Many top players also recommend practicing the "dharma moves" – special techniques that are harder to execute but give more honor points. These moves might not always be the easiest way to win, but they reflect the true spirit of Warrior's Creed: Indian Bushido Code and earn respect from other Indian players.
