Battle Pagans in The Bible Online

By pete_gallagher

Following a short beta period, German online game publisher FiAA GbmH has released the official version of its browser-based online game entitled The Bible Online.

If you were waiting for a bible game that features both RTS and MMORPG elements, you're in luck, as the title lets players 'construct their villages, manage resources,' in addition to the challenge of protecting 'their tribe from the pagans and also from other tribes.'

The first chapter of the game, called Heroes, centers on the Book of Genesis and features a temple, in which 'players get the chance to actually read and type the passages of the Book of Genesis, which leads to increase of their ‘faith,' which is one of the attributes of the players.'

FiAA GbmH plans to add chapters that eventually cover all the stories of the Bible. The game is available in both German and English.
