Catechumen
SCORE: 68
Fifteen years ago Catechumen released on the Personal Computer. Catechumen is one of the early first person shooter Christian video games. If the first person perspective makes you sick, then you need to avoid Catechumen. If you are looking for a first person shooter with good message in it, then you may be interested in Catechumen on the PC.
The WMG ran into bugs, and crashes with Catechumen. There are also confusing bugs in Catechumen. An angel told the WMG that he had just given him a sword to fight with. There was no sword in the hand. Hitting every single button on the keyboard and mouse did not make a sword appear or fire a shot. Going into the controls from the options menu did not turn on the sword either. This led to real world frustration and anger. Don’t tell me you gave me something and then I can’t find it or use it.
Catechumen contains violence, angels, demons, good story movies, numerous options, and difficulty settings. The storyline in Catechumen is interesting and better than most first person shooters. Characters will talk to your character, which is cool. Stay there long enough and they will repeat themselves.
The Roman soldiers we attack in Catechumen are demon possessed. Which is probably why they are no longer very intelligent. Beating them leaves them on their knees to pray. We convert them by shooting them with the Sword of the Spirit in Catechumen on the Personal Computer.
The controls in Catechumen can be very confusing at first. Especially when the default has one button do multiple things. The button configuration in Catechumen can be moved around. Which means hardcore first person shooter gamers can fix it. Families will most likely not be very interested in Catechumen due to the game play mechanics and loose controls. I wish N’Lightning Software was still around making games.
