Well done Doom-style game with a Christian theme

I reserve 5 stars for games like Myst and Riven. This game isn't in their category, however. It's a very well done battle adventure game with a Christian theme. As a young Christian in ancient Rome, your mission is to explore the catatcombs in search of fellow Christians imprisoned by the Romans and the powers of darkness that possess them. On the way you do battle with various nasty creatures with a growing choice of powerful weapons. These weapons are special. They slay evil creatures and hungry lions but only free Roman Soldiers from their oppression. Nice touch.

To maintain your 'spiritual' energy you must collect scrolls with verses of Scripture written on them You may pause to read, or not, as you are so inclined. Shields of faith and breastplates of righteousness help too. There's plenty of strategy involved. The weapons have different effects on different enemies. You'll get through the game by trial and error. Save often. Your final battle will be with the Prince of Darkness himself.

Technically this is a very well done game; a good piece of work using current technology and technique. It's not a watered down evangelistic tool or an overly sanitized substitute for the more hard-core games. I think it does provide a very enjoyable alterntive for fans of this type of game that are bothered by the implied moral framework (or lack thereof) of many other games of this type. I think most Christian parents will welcome this alternative for their teens (and might like to join in themselves). Non-christians should enjoy it too. It's not preachy. It's not tame. It's a lot of fun.

Extremely interesting and captivating

I can claim this is the best christian game in the market.

The background sound is incredible.

You feel the stress and the scare when find demons but, at the same time, feel the peace that you can defeat them, using the power of the Lord.

Very nice graphics, high 3D resolution, transparencies, beauty shinning lights of Lord's angel.

I give this game a Top Notch!

Trash

This game is painful to look at, torturous to control, and excruciatingly awful in every other aspect. The gameplay is tripe, the story non-existent, and the contrived Christian motifs blasphemous.
