[Review] Fist of Jesus - The bloody Gospel of Judas

Lazarus is resurrected by the messiah, but something goes wrong, the former dead miraculously comes to life as a zombie and begins to devour anyone transforming citiziens, imperial soldiers and cowboys  into undeads.
The gallant Jesus at the sight of this horror, takes the frightened friend Judas and runs like hell.
After few moments of despair, the two arm themselves with courage (and fishes) and decide to solve the problem simple butchering Lazarus and his army using punches and violence!

This is the hilarious premise of Fist of Jesus, a two-dimensional  beat em up (made with unity) available on steam at 8.99 euro.

The gameplay of the game is very basic and simple even for this genre, because in addition of being available for  PC is also on smartphones;

The levels are small arenas where victory comes after the completion of a given goal within the time limit (survive, kill a certain number of zombies etc ..) to defend ourselves we can use fists or weapons we gather around, all at the touch of a simple button, the rest is dedicated to the launch of the fishes and special powers, 3 for character (besides Jesus we can play as Judas) these are  unlockable the discovery of special items hidden in the levels.

Besides all this we  also have a system of  progression for the characters, the points are obtained by spending money of the game and we can also enhance the alredy mentioned special moves or passive elements, such as resistance to fire or increase health.

Is also easy to be against enemies stronger and more resistant  than the usuals, but also sometimes we have to face the real bosses; as an obese Roman general or the same Lazarus himself.

Among the weapons that we can gather there are rifles and pistols, which help the killing of zombies at a safe distance, then these are the protagonists of  bonus roundes where you have to pull out your weapon and shoot before a cowboy zombie does at the end of a countdown.

Fist of Jesus is a game that makes of  his blasphemous humor his strength, without it would only be a small simple fighting game for mobile devices, but I still approve it just because if funny for his humor and references to religion, despite what I think is the biggest flaw, the absence of a coop mode in the PC version, it would be cool play with a friend, local or online, since there are two playable characters, I still hope this feature to arrive in the future anyway.

GRADE: 5/10

Fist of Jesus, is a funny, blasphemous game with a cartooonish graphic, but besides these things, is still a game for mobile devices.
