    Lacks Mohammed. If you're going to troll most religions (and having Jesus going gangsta is about as troll as you can get) then you absolutely need to have our friendly religion of peace mascot in the mix. Show some #courage hmm?

    TIL that there's a fighting game called Fight of Gods where you can pit gods against each other to see which religion is strongest(spoiler, they all have mid movesets) and I cannot believe that no political party in India or Sri Lanka has turned this into a culture war grievance for election season

    I got the game when it was first released in early access a year ago. It seemed like a funny parody of fighting games. So, I though “Why not? Let’s help the developer finish the game”. Unfortunately, more than a year later, there is no progress with regards to the completion or polish of the game. 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. As for the character…

    Some characters are god tier and Jesus cross ups are pretty good, whole game needs work though, it has potential though and is not a bad price.....DLC for an early access game really annoys me though. Can definetly tell though they do not have the budget though, I have seen far worse looking and playing games but it just lacks polish with animation and effects (though some of the stages look nice) and the feel and the impacts just do not feel quite right. Updates have not been coming as much…

I am embarrassed to pull this out to play with friends when there are better indie and AAA fighting games out there. This scrub is trash tier. Out of 10 Presentation:5 (Menus work) Gameplay:4 (Gameplay way too stiff) Graphics:5 ( Not terrible but generic) Sound:2 (God awful , Mute it) Replayability:2 ( one time through and i was done) I Paid 4.99.

    Ok, let me set this straight: you will get what you pay for, at least for the time being. And this is a good thing The only problem I have with the game is that the movesets are not inspired at all. Apart from relying to the bare min. of classic fighters (which is good, but as I said: bare min.), the moves from character to character do not change significantly, nor does the way they play tbh. If this was a AAA, or even worse a completed game, I would be really disappointed with this Movesets…

    I don't think you can understand if you don't play. This game looks like a mobile game, the voices have the sounds quality of a no budget flash game with 4 dudes in their early 20s, and has a very mid quality sound track. But the absurdity and the simplicity is maniacal. Not kidding, I got this game for a SINGLE REASON: BUFF JESUS!!!! You spawn as Jesus, descending on a cross, break off the arms of said cross, uses it as gauntlets, and has a super move called THE RAPTURE!!!! And I am going toe…

Pros: + Low Price than usual Fighting Games + Combo System is very good + Gods & Goddesses! + You can play Jesus! + Great amount of Character Choices + Gets alot of Updates Cons: - Characters could use some work.

    There are a lot of things wrong with this game. A lot of things. Yes, it's in Early Access. But, I'd like to point out the flaws so the devs can look into it. Let's begin. Houston, we've got problems: The visuals: It looks like a mobile game. Why is it so bad? And you can animate a whole character, but not what they say? Not even a small slit that is their mouth just opening and closing? If you play as/against Sif, watch her face closely, and you'll see what I'm talking about. I've also…

    What can I say this game is awesome but they need to to make the combos longer. I liked 1.0.7 combos for Jesus and now with the new 1.0.8 update he feels dumb down. The big combos is what makes any fighting game interesting. You don't want to sacrifice combos just to balance the game. Please make this game with allot of good combos for every character like that the competitive level is good online. We all want to see this game be successful and thank you so much for all your hard work.
