Left Behind: Eternal Forces is the PC game spin-off of the Left Behind series.
The game focuses on the actions of a group of believers after the Rapture trying to survive in a world of chaos. You are in charge of creating a para-military group to defend against Global Community Peacekeepers (Forces of the Antichrist).
You can send out Disciples to recruit people off the streets to your cause who can then be trained at your Camp. Using funds you aquire from building and upgrading Banks, you can buy other buildings to give you food, belief, and new units.
The gameplay is a standard resource management RTS, nothing particularly new or unique. Units can perform physical attacks with guns or explosives or they can use "spiritual warfare" against thier foes.
The game represents a quasi-terrorist style of combat where you fight in the urban streets of New York against the GCP using urban warfare. This of course raises questions on the intent of the game as it portrays the Christian community as militaristic terrorists who recruit people to thier cause not for God but to join the battle.
Gameplay itself is not particularly exciting, unit tactics are rough and the AI is dumber than a plate of toast. Battles involve people standing in two groups shooting at each other untill everyboddy on one side dies. Graphics are so-so, dated but not horrible.
One frustrating aspect of the game is the camera. The controls are mouse-driven with the arrow keyes letting you refine the view. The camera often gets "stuck" in buildings or positions forcing you to re-start the mission. The game also takes FOREVER to load even on a good PC.
A black mark in my book comes from copious advertising in the game for real-world products. There is also spyware in the game that records how long people look at the ads and change out the ads every once and a while.
The game has a very religious message but the message is somewhat skewed when you can train military troops to shoot people who oppose you.
Overall- This is not a good game. The graphics are poor, the gameplay is boring and repetative, the game contains spyware advertising and portrays a doministic style of Christian faith. Dont buy it, dont play it, you will be a far happier person for having avoided it.
