The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players noting that it feels clunky and underwhelming, lacking depth and polish. While some appreciate the unique character moves and intuitive controls, others criticize the repetitive mechanics and technical issues that detract from the overall experience. Overall, the game is seen as a fun concept with potential, but it requires significant improvements to be truly engaging.
“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.”
“It's a cool concept, but the actual fighting mechanics are terrible.”
“Unfortunately, the gameplay itself is fairly subpar.”

The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with many players noting that they appear dated, reminiscent of early 2000s titles, and lacking in detail. While some appreciate the decent character models and unique arena concepts, others criticize the overall visual quality as subpar, especially for a modern fighting game. As the game is in early access, there are hopes for improvements, but currently, the graphics are considered a weak point by a significant number of users.
“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 artwork is superb, the music inspiring, the gameplay is simple and easy to pick up.”
“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.”
“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 roster is small, the graphics lag too much for me, and the character designs are rather bland.”
“The graphics are 2004 era, animations are stubby, short, not smooth.”

The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players praising it as the strongest aspect, highlighting its impressive composition and ability to enhance the gameplay experience. Many noted that the soundtracks are diverse and well-suited to the characters and stages, while others criticized the overall sound quality and lack of options to adjust audio settings. Overall, while the music is a standout feature for some, others found it lacking or overshadowed by other elements of the game.
“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. 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 artwork is superb, the music inspiring, the gameplay is simple and easy to pick up.”
“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 blasphemous themes, with many players finding the concept of fighting as gods, including characters like Jesus, to be both hilarious and entertaining. While the voice acting is often described as "so bad it's good," the gameplay is noted to be simple, which some feel detracts from the overall comedic experience. Overall, the game is seen as a funny parody of fighting games, particularly enjoyable when played with friends.
“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).”
“Some battles were very funny, like Anubis vs Moses at the parted seas.”

The game currently lacks a dedicated story mode, which has led to widespread criticism from users who feel that each character's unique moves and backstories deserve more narrative depth. While some players appreciate the gameplay mechanics, they express a strong desire for individual character stories, cutscenes, and a more engaging overarching plot. Overall, the absence of a substantial story element is seen as a significant shortcoming that detracts from the game's potential.
“Each character feels unique, and the moves they have are based on the character's backstory. The actual gameplay is nice, not too fast or slow, with decent combo potential without completely stopping one player.”
“So far on this build, there aren't individual character endings, but I imagine later they'll have text endings, because they do have bios already. It seems like they have an idea of a little more post-game story planned.”
“I learned about this game through the known story about it being banned in Malaysia; I knew that I had to own this game.”
“There's no in-game story or cutscenes to speak of.”
“Definitely need a story mode.”
“Also, I wish they would add an actual story and not this stupid excuse for a story that they have.”

Reviewers express a desire for increased replayability in the game, primarily through the addition of more playable characters. While some players are satisfied with the current roster, the overall sentiment highlights a need for more content and modes to enhance 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 highlighted by unique and original character designs that are respectful and accurate, avoiding any mockery of religious themes. However, some users feel that the small roster and occasional graphical lag detract from the overall impact, with a few describing the designs as bland despite their initial appeal. Overall, while the character designs are a standout feature, opinions on their depth and variety are mixed.
“The most appealing part about this game is the character design.”
“Interesting character designs and depictions—each character is drawn in a unique way that, to my knowledge, is an interesting and original approach to the appearance of each character.”
“The characterization and character designs are pretty accurate and do not mock any religion in any way.”
“The roster is small, the graphics lag too much for me, and the character designs are rather bland.”

The game exhibits a range of stability issues, including frequent glitches and freezing at critical points, such as the splash screen. However, some players find the experience entertaining enough to overlook these bugs, especially considering the game's low price and straightforward presentation. Overall, while stability is a concern, the enjoyment factor may still warrant a recommendation for those willing to tolerate imperfections.
“I don’t want to make a habit of recommending or not recommending early access games, but given the small price, no-bullshit presentation, and fairly bug-free experience, it’s hard not to at least recommend giving it a shot.”
“Game freezes at splash screen introducing combatants.”
“Horrendously buggy game.”
“This game has a fair few glitches but it's hilarious.”

“The game also needs to be more optimized for players who only have low-end PCs.”
