The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players finding it catchy and fitting for a kid-friendly biblical theme, while others criticize it for being repetitive and grating. Many suggest that the compositions, though not bad, become annoying over time due to their looping nature, and some even recommend muting the game and playing alternative soundtracks for a better experience. Overall, while the soundtrack has its moments, it often detracts from the gameplay rather than enhancing it.
“Also, level 5 music has no reason to bop as hard as it does.”
“The music is entertaining, the secrets are easy to find, and guess what: you have a map.”
“This game is fun, it has exciting boss battles, maze-like maps, a grand variety of weapons, and a very catchy soundtrack.”
“The music is bland and loops often, which gets really annoying after a while.”
“The same awful music track is on loop, the enemies are boring, the level design is bad and everything about this game makes me just want to play brutal doom instead.”
“This is actually a fan game, only plagued by super high difficulty and repetitive music.”

The gameplay is largely based on the classic Wolfenstein 3D mechanics, featuring similar navigation, shooting, and key-finding elements, but with a unique twist involving animal-themed enemies and quizzes. While some players appreciate the nostalgic feel and modern refinements, others criticize the lack of enemy feedback and repetitive nature, leading to a mixed reception overall. Despite its flaws, fans of the original Wolfenstein may find enjoyment in this game's quirky take on the genre.
“Engaging Christian gameplay!”
“The refined gameplay and brilliant graphics and story twists of this game kept me playing for many hours.”
“Gameplay is fluid and satisfying, and the game never drops below 60fps.”
“The gameplay was boring, voice acting was cringy and was way too short.”
“While the gameplay is the exact same as Wolfenstein 3D, there's something about the shooting that really bothers me compared to Wolf 3D, and that's that the enemies have zero feedback when you shoot them.”
“Cons: somewhat repetitive gameplay that can become boring and/or tedious, some sound effects are kind of annoying (personal gripe).”

The story of "Super 3D Noah's Ark" is a quirky and unconventional take on the biblical tale, where players assume the role of Noah, using feed to calm unruly animals on the ark. While some reviews highlight its humorous and enjoyable aspects, others criticize the plot for being minimal and loosely tied to the original story, often comparing it to classic first-person shooters like Doom and Wolfenstein. Overall, the game offers a unique blend of biblical trivia and gameplay, though its narrative depth is often deemed lacking.
“Super 3D Noah’s Ark is a Christian game based on, you guessed it, the story of Noah’s Ark.”
“Even stranger is the story; instead of killing enemies, you are Noah and you’re shooting feed at unruly animals on Noah’s Ark while it’s at sea in order to make them fall asleep.”
“The story goes that the animals on the Ark are restless and want Noah dead, and so Noah needs to go on an epic quest to calm them all down by firing feed at high velocity using a variety of Rube Goldberg inspired feed launching machinery.”
“The plot is virtually nonexistent and can be skipped through by clicking when it comes up.”
“As for the Noah's Ark aspect, the game is just a reskin of Doom or Wolfenstein, and the game barely has anything to do with the original Bible story.”
“So nevermind the somewhat religious theme, as the game barely even touches upon the story.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising the colorful and cartoonish aesthetic, while others criticize the texture quality and overall visual design as lacking compared to contemporary titles. Many players note improvements over the Super Nintendo version, highlighting cleaner visuals and better resolution, but some still find the graphics underwhelming or confusing in terms of enemy design. Overall, while the graphics may not be groundbreaking, they are considered satisfactory for the gameplay experience.
“The graphics are nice (for a re-skin) as everything looks colorful and cartoonish.”
“Great story, intense first-person shooting system, detailed enemies, good music, and the best graphics I've seen in nearly 40 years.”
“This game is one of those next-gen games in which you have the best top-of-the-line graphics and the best 3D models and features.”
“The graphics are fine, even if I found areas that overused the 'yellow curtain' theme to be somewhat headache-inducing.”
“Confusing enemy graphics don't always telegraph their attacks, making combat miserable.”
“The graphic design isn't great, generally of lesser quality than other games of its era.”

The humor in the game is described as both intentional and unintentional, with players finding amusement in its absurd premise of a Noah-themed shooter that parodies classic titles like Doom and Wolfenstein. Many reviews highlight the irony of the gameplay, such as pelting animals with feed and the juxtaposition of biblical themes with violent mechanics, leading to a mix of genuine laughter and critique of its execution. Overall, the game is seen as a hilariously flawed experience that offers a unique, if not entirely serious, take on the shooter genre.
“It's kind of hilarious going around shooting feed at goats until they fall asleep knowing that the devs just used goat-colored paint to cover up the bloody Nazi bodies of the engine this game was based off of.”
“All in all, if you're a fan of Wolf3D and are looking for an unintentional, but hilarious, mockery of the Christian faith from a well-meaning developer (Wisdom Tree) that's also fun to play, get this.”
“If I were Noah these f*ckers would be eating lead - a surprisingly fun and hilarious Wolf clone that lives up to the description on the Steam page.”
