Spiritual Warfare

Spiritual Warfare is a 1993 action-adventure that replaces the usual fantasy arsenal with something considerably more unusual: biblical themes and religious symbolism. The player travels through a colorful world, fighting enemies and overcoming obstacles while collecting objects and using abilities connected to its spiritual setting. Beneath the unusual theme is a familiar action-adventure structure, with exploration, combat, items, and progressively tougher challenges. The game has a distinctly old-school feel, mixing straightforward mechanics with an imaginative interpretation of its subject matter. Spiritual Warfare is certainly one of those games that stands out immediately on a shelf because you are unlikely to confuse it with a conventional fantasy adventure. Its presentation can be charmingly earnest, while the gameplay remains surprisingly traditional. Whether you approach it as a curiosity or a genuine adventure, it offers something different from the standard collection of swords, dragons, and suspiciously angry skeletons.
