There are a LOT of Unlicensed Games for the NES. One of them is Spiritual Warfare, a game I found to be rather enjoyable. It's an obvious clone of The Legend of Zelda in terms of gameplay, but it's story represents a Christian Theme. I know not many people are fans of Christian Games, but this game is actually decent, to the point of being fun, and no, I'm not just saying that because I'm a Christian myself. Heh. Anyway...

As I mentioned before, this game plays a lot like The Legend of Zelda, but with a few differences. For example, all your weapons (as far as I can tell) are ranged weapons. I have not seen a Sword or a similar weapon since I started it, despite the Box Art showing a Warrior with a Sword. Also, this game is a lot easier, as it was probably intended to be a kid's game. Nonetheless, I found it quite fun. Also, you gotta love the Title Screen:

Yes, that Sword is on fire. Also, notice the "VER 6.1" below it. Not sure what's up with that, but I got a cheap laugh out of it.

Anyway, the game seems to take place in a modern setting, as opposed to a fantasy world. Take a look:

Being a Christian Game, you don't actually *kill* enemies. You throw fruit at them, and the Demon possessing them leaves they're body. Occasionally though, the Demon will come after you, and you can kill it.

One thing that boggled my mind is the fact that the currency is birds, which I honestly did not understand. If this is another part of the Christian Theme, I must have missed something. Smiley

But seriously, this is a fun game, and I'd recommend it to anyone who likes The Legend of Zelda, but is looking for a more light hearted experience.

Thanks for reading!

NOTE: This was not intended to be a Review of the game, but a Synopsis. I may write a Review of it at a later time though.
