    The graphics of the game are limited, as there are no options to change the resolution or make useful tweaks, which has frustrated some users.

    • “There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”
    • “The only problem is I wanted to change the controls and the graphics.”
  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story creatively intertwines biblical narratives with elements from "The Life of Brian" and "The Matrix," presenting miracles and powers as skills taught by Jesus and Satan to manipulate reality. Players have the flexibility to adhere closely to the biblical account or explore alternative paths, enhancing the narrative's depth and engagement.

    • “It still follows the story of Jesus but now with elements from 'The Life of Brian' and 'The Matrix' thrown in, with all the miracles and magical powers you learn being explained as Jesus and Satan teaching you how to manipulate the 'code' of the physical world around you.”
    • “You can follow the story of the Bible exactly or deviate from it as much as the game allows.”
  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is derived from its quirky combat system and dialogue, which heavily features Bible quotes, creating a unique and often amusing experience. While the faction and NPC friendship systems are somewhat shallow, they contribute to a variety of funny scenarios that enhance the overall enjoyment of the game.

    • “The combat system is actually good (wrestling-like + some interesting magic), the dialogues are mostly Bible quotes, and the game offers factions (though you can only be an apostle, a priest, or a citizen). The NPC friendship system allows NPCs to stop being your friend if you become friends with someone they dislike. These systems may be shallow, but they create enough hilarious situations for the short experience of this game.”
    • “The humor in the game is surprisingly engaging, with witty dialogues and absurd scenarios that keep you laughing throughout your playthrough.”
    • “I love how the game mixes serious themes with ridiculous humor, making even the most mundane tasks feel entertaining and fun.”
  • optimization
