Spiritual Warfare (V6.0): Reviews

Game Score: 10/10
Spiritual Warfare was an RPG released by Wisdom Tree © in the early 90's. S.W. has a heavily moralized biblical storyline as it's title suggests. The game play is actually quite fun, incorporating elements from action games, adventure games, role-playing games, and puzzle games. It has nonlinearity, the ability to take different paths to complete the game, very much like "The Legend of Zelda". Honestly if I could rename this game I would call it "Link Goes to Church".
The game has no internal save feature, but offers a password entry instead.
The game starts without much of an introduction, and no build-up. You are immediately immersed into an 8-bit world of sinners, demons and saints! Almost right from the beginning you are given your default weapon, the mighty pear. Your "weapons" are fruit of spirit, ranging from things such as bananas - pomegranates. Each fruit has a different attack pattern. Aside from fruits and bombs, you will also gather Biblical items such as "Sampson's jawbone" or any of the 6 pieces of the "Armor of God"
Your goal in S.W. is not to kill your fellow man, but instead to convert them. When you fling your pear at the madman on a bicycle there is not only the chance he might drop some "Prayer points" (currency) or a random bomb but also that a demon might spawn from him and come to attack you too! The final goal is to purify a town that had been corrupted by Satan, a task which may take you several days and dozens of passwords to accomplish!
As fas as the NES is concerned, Spiritual Warfare is a 10/10
Visuals--10/10
Audio--7/10 (the looping midi chuch-style music really gets annoying)
Game play--10/10
Re-playability-- 10/10
