I am undecided what I actually anticipated from a recreation known as Priest Simulator. Perhaps you’d take heed to somebody’s confession and select from a drop down checklist of penances to assign to the sinner? Otherwise you’d officiate a marriage by way of a minigame the place you must decide the best verses and get the bride and groom’s names proper? Perhaps rotating a thumbstick to swing that… that brass factor, no matter it’s, on a sequence, the factor that… like, smoke or steam or incense comes out of it?
Sorry, I used to be not raised with faith, have not pursued it as an grownup, and the final time I used to be inside a church it was with Father Grigori in Half-Life 2. However at the same time as uninformed as I’m, after I think about a simulation recreation you play as a priest, it isn’t something like what I see within the trailer for Priest Simulator. It begins with a scary voice loudly declaring “Hell is my playground!” earlier than the priest, in first-person, begins wildly punching the air and sending fireballs into some form of big spider perched atop the ruins of a metropolis.
Extra highlights: A bus is picked up and thrown by way of the roof of a constructing, although I’m not sure if the priest is accountable or only a witness. There’s extra punching, this time of both a demon or somebody simply sporting a demon mascot head. Steel music blasts all through.
Then, at the least, we see a confession. Ultimately! Actual priest stuff. “I do not see any level in my household,” a wide-eyed (maybe eyelidless) girl is saying, little question echoing a thought most of us have had at one time or one other. “Honor thy father and thy mom,” the priest selects from varied choices, earlier than receiving what seems to be a complete of seven Priest Factors (?) for making the best alternative.
Once we subsequent see the priest he has a blade strapped to the again of 1 hand and a big hammer within the different and is brutally killing a bunch of individuals or monsters, first within the woods after which a graveyard. He drives a automotive, he chugs wine, he buys a sack of holy communion focus. There’s quite a bit happening and little of it suits my admittedly poor information of issues a priest does.
In keeping with the developer, Asmodev, Priest Simulator is an “motion mockumentary” that may introduce you to “the unbelievable world of recent Poland.” I truthfully cannot start to take a position on the veracity of that assertion, although one reviewer says “I am Polish and may affirm that is 100% practical polish priest simulator.” I additionally can’t confirm that assertion, and can make completely no effort to take action.
The sport (it is out at present on Steam) stars a “vampire priest who needs to get his baton again and return to Hell. To that finish, it’s essential to combat shatanistic hordes, beef up, renovate the church, and collect splendor.” You may also twin wield the sport’s 8 weapons, which each does not really feel like sufficient weapons however on the similar time seems like 8 weapons too many for a priest.
Priest Simulator is in early entry and plans so as to add extra stuff over the following 4-8 months, together with new quests and music. At the moment there are 27 evaluations on Steam, all of them optimistic. Amen.
