Faith Fighter is a fighting game where you play as religious figures and fight with all of the other ones, to the point where you've taken them all down and your religion rules the world. This game pissed off a bunch of angry Muslims for depicting the Islamic prophet Muhammad and was temporarily taken down. It was later returned again with the option to censor him and they also responded with a sequel to the game, that was all about religious tolerance. It was called Faith Fighter 2, and it would feature all of the religious prophets that were mocked in the first game, together, and you are supposed to click on them to express love for them and keep their religion alive. If you neglect one of them long enough, it will fade away and if as little as one religion fades out of existence, the world will go into turmoil and completely end. Muhammad is censored in this version and it's not even an option to keep him uncensored.
Gameplay[]
Choose a god or prophet of any religion to play as. You have six options Jesus or God from Christianity and Judaism, Buddha or Buhdai from Buddhism, Ganesha from Hinduism, or Muhammad from Islam. Once you have chosen one, you have to go through five levels, where you'll fight against the five other prophets and win two rounds of battle with each of them. Once you have gone through them, you will have a final boss fight with a mystery god who is soon revealed to be Xenu of Scientology. Once you have defeated him, your religious figure will have them reigned superior among the entire world and has made his religion officially correct. Also, when beating the game, you will have unlocked Xenu as a playable character.
