    Brutal, irreverent, funny and banking on some rock solid Castle Crashers/Binding of Isaac mechanics that will simply have you playing "one more level" long into the night.

    Fist of Jesus is a funny beat 'em up with some gameplay issue, but with great gory humor.

    There are good games, there are bad games, and there are games that just kind of sit somewhere in the middle, and the latter are perhaps the most forgettable. I don’t regret the time I spent playing Fists of Jesus, but I don’t think it’s an experience that I’m going to remember a few months from now.

    Mutant Games should have listened to the sermon of the mount for developers. First commandment: do not copy other people's ideas. Second: do not repeat yourself.

    Blood, zombies and blasphemy are a great starting point, but alone are not sufficient to raise Fist of Jesus to the honors of the critics. Too weird to please the mass audience, it's probably dull in the eyes of the fans of the short film that inspired it.

    As crazy as it gets, but there are much better beat'em ups out there.

    It works, and it will bring some laughs (especially with friends), but there are better beat ‘em ups out there.

    Just because of respect of one man who was crucified for nothing, just because of that - I give it 0.

    Absolutely awesome.
    The game has solid hack'n slash gameplay, funny levels, enemies and bosses and, of course, Jesus and Judas smashing everything in front of them.
    If you have a free evening and a few bucks, it's a nice game to get :D

    Hilariously awesome zombie game. I normally don't get into zombie games but this one very much attracted my attention. It has fun graphicsHilariously awesome zombie game. I normally don't get into zombie games but this one very much attracted my attention. It has fun graphics and is fun to play. But don't take my word for it. It has a VERY POSITIVE (93%) rating from verified players on Steam. Why only 93% and not even higher? Well if you look at those who gave it a thumbs down, they all have less than an hour of game-time logged in the game. These are people who had a problem and don't even TRY to fix it, which is often just a setting or two to change for their particular system. Or, of course, the panties-in-a-bunch Christian.

    If you're looking for a game which makes Jesus FAR more interesting than the original fable (with zombies, lots of humor, and cartoon gore) then this game is for you.
