    63 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “This game is fun, it has exciting boss battles, maze-like maps, a grand variety of weapons, and a very catchy soundtrack.”
    • “Wonderful upbeat soundtrack, decent amount of levels, lots of secrets to find and a fair price point means I can absolutely recommend checking it out.”
    • “The music is horrible to the point of making the game unplayable.”
    • “One song in particular is so horrible, to describe it as 'nails on a chalkboard' would be an improvement over what it actually sounds like.”

  • gameplay
    62 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of this title is largely based on the classic mechanics of Wolfenstein 3D, featuring familiar navigation and combat elements, but with a unique biblical twist that includes quizzes and non-violent interactions. While some players appreciate the nostalgic feel and modern enhancements, others criticize the dated mechanics, lack of enemy feedback, and occasional repetitiveness, leading to mixed opinions on its overall execution. Overall, it appeals primarily to fans of retro FPS games, particularly those looking for a lighter, family-friendly experience.

    • “The mechanics in this game are also incredible; they are easy to understand yet still reward skilled players, and the goat's AI is truly well done.”
    • “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.”
    • “Gameplay kind of sucks because it can be hard to read the enemy movements and telegraph their attacks.”
    • “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.”
  • story
    52 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of "Super 3D Noah's Ark" is a quirky reinterpretation of the biblical tale, where players assume the role of Noah, feeding animals to keep them calm on the ark. While some reviews highlight the game's humorous and entertaining premise, others criticize its lack of depth and connection to the original story, noting that it often feels like a reskin of classic first-person shooters like "Wolfenstein." Overall, the narrative is seen as both a lighthearted take on a well-known story and a commentary on the game's unusual development history.

    • “Whether you believe the story of Noah is historical or a work of fiction, it's an entertaining premise.”
    • “But above all, the plot is incredible; the conflict of animal vs. Noah is well executed, and they are both made to be real people that I can connect to and understand. The moral dilemma that Noah faces when feeding the animals is very relatable.”
    • “The refined gameplay and brilliant graphics and story twists of this game kept me playing for many hours.”
    • “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.”
  • graphics
    41 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising the vibrant and colorful visuals as a significant upgrade from older versions, while others criticize them as outdated and repetitive, often likening them to the limitations of the Wolfenstein 3D engine. Despite some modern enhancements, many players feel the graphics lack depth and variety, leading to a visually monotonous experience. Overall, while some find the graphics appealing and well-executed, others see them as a drawback that detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.

    • “The graphics are beyond next gen, every little thing is spot on, from the shine given off from Noah's bald head to the hyper-realistic water graphics found on the arc.”
    • “Great story, intense first-person shooting system, detailed enemies, good music, and the best graphics I've seen in nearly 40 years.”
    • “The refined gameplay and brilliant graphics and story twists of this game kept me playing for many hours.”
    • “The audiovisual feedback on you and your enemies' attacks is bad, the level design is atrocious, the music is pretty poor (and partly just MIDI versions of religious songs), the graphics are repetitive and grating, and the whole experience started to give me a headache.”
    • “The graphics make everything look the same, making it hard to figure out where you've been and where you haven't been.”
    • “Graphics: the game itself is the same wooden texture, with a picture of ducks, Noah himself (self-loving jerk), and other things.”
  • humor
    23 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is largely derived from its absurd premise of a Doom-like experience set on Noah's Ark, featuring ironic and unintentional comedic elements that poke fun at both the source material and the game's execution. Players find amusement in the juxtaposition of shooting animals with a lighthearted theme, as well as the game's poor design, which adds to its charm as a "so-bad-it's-good" experience. Overall, the humor resonates with fans of retro shooters and those who appreciate a satirical take on religious narratives.

    • “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.”
    • “Definitely Wolfenstein 3D, but instead of portraits of Hitler, it's portraits of Noah (which is pretty funny).”
    • “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.”
  • emotional
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
