Looking for a Christian video game that's actually fun to play? Kings of Israel is a strategic, turn-based game set in ancient Israel during the reigns of its kings — from the united monarchy all the way to Assyria's destruction of the Northern Kingdom. Based on the acclaimed cooperative board game by Lance Hill, you lead a team of prophets working to cleanse the land of sin and idolatry by preaching, destroying idols, gathering resources, and building altars to God.^1
The board game was successfully Kickstarted in 2013, raising more than three times its funding goal, and the video game adaptation launched on Steam in December 2015.^2 What sets it apart from other faith-based games is that the biblical theme is deeply woven into the mechanics — every decision about when to gather resources, when to make sacrifices, and when to fight spreading evil mirrors the real tension prophets faced during this period.^3 A built-in Bible Study mode asks trivia questions about the kings, locations, and events of the era, turning gameplay into an opportunity to learn Scripture.^1
The game features adaptive difficulty that scales based on your win/loss record, 20 Steam achievements, trading cards, and detailed statistics tracking.^1 Christ Centered Gamer gave it a morality score of 100% and noted it's entirely family-safe.^2
Why Christians Love It"If you're playing solo and want a fun and challenging Christian video game, look no further than Kings of Israel."^2
