The War in Heaven is a 1999 Christian-themed action game. The game is described as Doom-meets-the-Bible and is intended for Christian males 15 and older.[1]
Gameplay[]
In the game a player is confronted with snarling monsters, with horns and wings, wielding swords and other lethal weapons. That is the challenge if the player chooses "the Divine Path of Obedience," becomes a good angel, and progresses up the game's 12-step ascent to heaven. Yet a player can also choose "the Fallen Path of Power and follow Lucifer," become a demon and fight against shapely blondes with feathery wings.[1]
Reception[]
Mike Musgrove from The Washington Post stated in his review of the game that "There's more activity in Sunday school than in this game"[3]
Sales[]
The game sold 4,000 copies by March 2000[4] and later 10,000 copies by October 2000.[2]
