Faith Fighter Will Test Your Skills, Religious Tolerance

4:30PM Luke Plunkett | Faith Fighters, a flash-based 2D fighter by Molleindustria, is exactly what its name suggests. You pick a deity (choices include God, Muhammad, Ganesh & Jesus), you get an opponent, you fight to the death, Street Fighter-style.
