  • Summary: Left Behind: Eternal Forces is a Real Time Strategy game. You, as the player, control your forces from a vantage point high above the action. You do not personally participate in the action; you command your units to perform tasks by giving orders via the game interface. You can order them where to go and what to do whenever you wish. Lead the Tribulation Force from the book series, including Rayford, Chloe, Buck and Bruce against Nicolae Carpathia - the AntiChrist. Conduct physical & spiritual warfare : using the power of prayer to strengthen your troops in combat and wield modern military weaponry throughout the game world. Recover ancient scriptures and witness spectacular Angelic and Demonic activity as a direct consequence of your choices. [Left Behind Games] Collapse

  1. Where Eternal Forces does a great job is in the loads of biographies for what would normally be throwaway units. Granted, some of the bio information is strangely comical, but you end up caring about each character under your command. Sadly, there are far too many other characters that might be seen by some as astonishing stereotypes.
  2. Left Behind: Eternal Forces oscillates between the boring and the aggravating and is far from ever being a rapturous experience.
  3. A waste of time. The gameplay is terrible and I saw better graphics on video games two years ago. I can’t understand all the uproar this game caused because the game in itself is not worth bothering with.
  4. Left Behind: Eternal Forces just doesn't play very well. As exciting and even (for at lot of folks, at least) uplifting as some of the content could be, it just doesn't move quickly enough or play smoothly enough to compete with the other, more gameplay focused titles in the admittedly more worldly marketplace.

    Not a perfect game, but it's a lot better than a lot of the garbage that is getting better scores here. Shadowrun beat this? Please! The company has been very faithful and timely in issuing free patches to address bugs and to improve gameplay. I suspect many reviews are based on the non-patched version. (And what game these days does not need patches?) I also suspect many reviews are based on prejudice against the religious beliefs held by the makers and presented in the game. Expand

    If you have read the books, or even seen the movies that were made, you would probably enjoy this game. Granted it's not the best developed RTS out there, but it is the cleanest! And, finally a game that gives a real message about where you will be if you don't change your views and continue to follow the degradation of this world. Expand

    When I saw a commercial for this I thought it was a joke. Then I found out it was real and knew that it had to be bad. It looks like what would happen if all those holy rollers who stand out on street corners every friday would make if they decided to make a video game. It gets a one only because of the humour factor. Expand

    Way way way too difficult to even complete the 3rd mission. Difficult to understand objectives and the constant threat of making a minor mistake and having to relive the nightmarishly bad level again make this game a poor choice for anyone... However with a little TLC this game could be amazing. Expand
