Reviews
- The game offers a humorous and absurd premise, allowing players to fight as various deities, including Jesus and Buddha.
- The gameplay is surprisingly fun and accessible, with simple controls and a decent combo system that can be enjoyable for both casual and experienced players.
- The character designs and unique moves for each deity add a creative touch, making the game visually interesting despite its low-budget graphics.
- The game suffers from clunky controls and input lag, making it feel unresponsive at times, which can detract from the overall experience.
- The roster of characters is limited, and many characters feel similar in terms of movesets, leading to a lack of variety in gameplay.
- As an early access title, the game lacks polish and features such as online multiplayer, which could enhance the overall experience.

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players noting that while the concept and character uniqueness are appealing, the mechanics often feel clunky and underdeveloped. Some enjoy the simple and intuitive controls, while others criticize the repetitive combos and lack of depth, suggesting that the game requires significant polish and improvements, especially for online play. Overall, it can be entertaining in short bursts, particularly with friends, but it may not satisfy those seeking a more engaging and refined fighting experience.
“This is a meme game that has really high quality netcode and solid gameplay.”
“Each character feels unique, the moves they have are based on the character backstory, and the actual gameplay is nice (not too fast/slow, decent combo potential without being total stopping of one player).”
“Fun gameplay with solid controls.”
“But sadly, the controls are very clunky and the gameplay is very underwhelming.”
“As much as I want to recommend this game, it just falls apart in its basic mechanics.”
“Unfortunately, the gameplay itself is fairly subpar.”

The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with many players noting that they are dated, often likening them to those from the PS2 or early Xbox era. While some appreciate the character designs and unique arena concepts, others criticize the overall quality as lacking polish and smoothness, particularly in animations and UI. Despite these shortcomings, a few users find the graphics decent for an indie title, especially considering the game's early access status, suggesting potential for improvement in future updates.
“Graphics are okay-ish, but a lot better than what I expected for a $7 game.”
“In my humble opinion, the best thing about the game is the ultimate master, who has fantastic visuals and powers, but he's an unnamed entity ... but he's pretty cool, coming up on the level of big bosses of most popular games.”
“Graphics are very decent (in my opinion this game looks better than the $60 triple-A released King of Fighters XIV. That game just came out last year and is considered a big triple-A game while this is an indie!).”
“The graphics are just as bad, on a year 2002 level; the sound is minimal (you can buy the soundtrack separately), the controls are the real enemy/opponent that you are fighting.”
“The graphics are 2004 era, animations are stubby, short, not smooth.”
“The graphics are not up to date; it looks like a game from the PS3 era.”

The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players praising it as a standout feature, describing it as inspiring, well-composed, and fitting for each character and stage. Others criticized the sound quality, likening it to low-budget productions, and noted that the music sometimes overpowers voice lines. Overall, while the soundtrack is appreciated by many, there are concerns about its integration and the game's overall audio quality.
“Music is surprisingly good, and probably the strongest point of this game.”
“Music - this is one of the more impressive indie game tracks that I have heard from one of the smaller indie games in a while, and I am very glad I bought the soundtrack. Some music gets you pumped and energetic, some can come off benevolent and valiant, and some can come off as fierce. All of the tracks seem accurate as to who they represent, as each track and arena is stylized like Street Fighter with a character getting their own arena and music.”
“The music is really good, but most of all it's actually very fun to play.”
“This game looks like a mobile game, the voices have the sound quality of a no-budget flash game with four dudes in their early 20s, and has a very mid-quality soundtrack.”
“Bad graphics, bad music, and really bad gameplay.”
“Music, nothing that caught my ear even for a second.”

The humor in the game is widely praised for its irreverent and absurd premise, featuring characters like Jesus and other deities in a comedic fighting context. Players find the voice acting and certain gameplay moments to be hilariously bad, adding to the overall charm, though some feel the humor may wear thin over time. Overall, the game is seen as a funny parody of fighting games, particularly enjoyable in multiplayer settings.
“This is probably the most blasphemous game I have ever played, and yet I'm laughing my ass off terribly.”
“Perfect for an irreverent sense of humor... or one who wants to watch Jesus kick the crap out of all these false gods (though what beef he has with Moses, I do not know).”
“The game is thematically hilarious, as you might expect.”

The game currently lacks a dedicated story mode, which many players feel is a significant oversight, as they desire deeper narratives for each character that reflect their unique backstories. While the gameplay is praised for its balance and character uniqueness, the absence of individual character endings and a cohesive plot detracts from the overall experience. Players express a strong wish for more engaging story elements, including cutscenes and mission modes, to enhance the game's depth.
“Each character feels unique, and their moves are based on their backstory, which adds depth to the gameplay experience.”
“So far on this build, there aren't individual character endings, but I imagine they will have text endings later, as they already have bios, indicating that more post-game story is planned.”
“Evolving characters in a plot would be a significant advantage for the game.”
“Definitely need a story mode.”
“There's no in-game story or cutscenes to speak of.”
“I wish there was some mission modes or adventure mode or something similar or a basic survival mode, but I agree that the developers should first work on the main game before adding such specials.”

Reviewers express a desire for more playable characters to enhance the game's replayability, noting that the current lack of variety limits the experience. While the existing characters are enjoyable, the absence of additional unlockables or modes diminishes the game's potential for long-term engagement.
“Current lack of replayability.”
“Fighter games are known for one thing: replayability, be it through unlockables, modes, or just plain fighting your CPU-controlled characters just to alleviate your boredom.”
“Needs more playable characters!”

Character development in the game is noted for its unique and original character designs that avoid mocking any religion, contributing to an interesting visual experience. However, some users feel that the small roster and bland designs detract from the overall appeal, with technical issues like graphics lag also impacting the experience. Overall, while the character designs are a highlight for some, they are not universally praised.
“The characterization and character designs are pretty accurate and do not mock any religion in any way.”
“Interesting character designs and depictions—each character is drawn in a unique way that, to my knowledge, represents an interesting and original approach to their appearance.”
“The most appealing part about this game is the character design.”
“The roster is small, the graphics lag too much for me, and the character designs are rather bland.”

The game's stability is mixed, with users reporting several glitches and occasional freezes, particularly at the splash screen. However, some players find the overall experience relatively bug-free for an early access title, suggesting that the low price and entertaining content may still warrant a recommendation.
“I don’t want to make a habit of recommending or not recommending early access games, but given the small price, no-nonsense presentation, and fairly bug-free experience, it’s hard not to at least recommend giving it a shot.”
“Game freezes at the splash screen introducing combatants.”
“Horrendously buggy game.”
“This game has a fair few glitches, but it's hilarious.”

Overall, optimization is generally considered satisfactory, but there is a notable need for improvements to better accommodate players with low-end PCs.
“The game also needs to be more optimized for players who only have low-end PCs.”
