Christian entertainment company, TruPlay Games, has released a new game.
King David's Battles is a journey into the heart of an extraordinary hero. The new adventure game reflects the Christian company's commitment to build a beautiful, fun, world-class entertainment ultimately building character and nurturing faith.
Diving into the realms of a 3000-year-old epic biblical saga, TruPlay is the first company to do so.
Completed with stunning graphics, and an immersive soundtrack, King David’s Battles features epic combat, strategic decision-making and the awe-inspiring story of a hero chosen by God. Players of all ages can embark on an unforgettable journey alongside David as he faces daunting challenges, conquering not only a bear and a lion but also the legendary giant, Goliath.
“Parents have had it with toxic video games, movies, and TV shows targeting our children,” said TruPlay Founder and CEO, Brent Dusing in a press release. “Video games are the number one area where kids spend time and money. In Colossians, Paul encourages us to ‘set our minds on things above and not on earthly things.’ Christian parents know that TruPlay creates uplifting stories and games that inspire their children with truths from God’s Word."
With kids spending more than 50 hours per week on digital devices, Dusing said the content they consume has a “significant impact on their mental health, character development and worldview. If our kids are going to be online, we have a responsibility to create content that points them to biblical truth and godly values, which is why we created King David’s Battles.”
Citing data that shows only 31% of children believe in God, Dusing believes video games provide a powerful medium for spreading the Gospel. While parents could be tempted to keep children from video games altogether, he asserts, “The truth is, it’s not the medium, but the message that makes all the difference.”
“We’re about to lose the next generation if we don’t get serious about creating safe content for kids. There is too much sexual and hyper-violent content, glamorization of drug use and downright evil stuff that kids are exposed to online,” said Dusing.
“Our data shows that kids return again and again to TruPlay at a rate higher than top games in the App Store. Kids engage with TruPlay games and content, on average, more than 90 minutes per week, increasing their exposure to God’s Truth,” said Dusing. “And parents report back to us that they love playing with their kids.”
Players of King David’s Battles will witness the evolution of a warrior as they engage in visceral combat against formidable foes like Goliath and lead Israel’s armies to victory. In this world, a player’s choices have profound consequences. Rule with wisdom and compassion or let power corrupt noble intentions.
“We’re very proud to add King David’s Battles to our collection of world-class Christian games and Bible-based content. It’s more than a game; it's a saga of courage, leadership and faith,” said Dusing.
King David's Battles is available now for Apple iOS and Google Android devices.
