Iām willing to give this game a chance, because when you put the whole religious side of things in a box, the Old Testament ā with its plagues and pestilence and pillars of salt ā is pretty badass.
The Bible Online is a new massively-multiplayer online game from German outfit FiAA, and will ā over the course of many chapters ā give players the chance to re-enact certain parts of the Bible.
In the beginning, there wasā¦Chapter 1, The Heroes, which will be the first release of the game, and sounds a lot like Age of Empires (it looks a lot like it too), as you control Abraham and his descendants on their journey to the promised land.
Thereās even a āheroā system for levelling up and transferring skills, as Abraham begets new characters like Isaac and Jacob.
The Bible Online is a browser-based game, and will kick off on September 6 (though theyāre also taking beta testers right now).
