Jesus Christ RPG Trilogy reviews and comments

My Conclusion of the Game is below, if the detailed Text here is too long, and you roughly want to have the Strengths and Weaknesses of the Game listed.
Plot More than 2,000 Years ago, many People believe, the Lord in Heaven sent His illegitimate Child to Earth to spread his Teachings.
Jesus Christ RPG Trilogy roughly describes the History of this Child, and in whole three Parts!
The first Part is about the Birth of Jesus, from the Maiden Production to The visit of the Three Kings to The flight from King Herod.
In the second Part, the twelve Apostles are gathered around you and a few Miracles are performed in total terms of juesusum.
Part three is about the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus. In Between, you have to cross the nine Circles of Hell, save the innocent Souls who died before Jesus ' Birth and therefore stew in Purgatory (which sounds badly unjust) and ward off an Invasion of heaven.
The last Part sounds quite exciting. Can the Gameplay live up to that?
Gameplay The Short Answer: No.
The long Answer: The Gameplay is quite monotonous and desolate. You can get the best Weapons right at the Beginning, and then you are usually only busy with grinning. Most Opponents are defeated by one or two Strokes, so the Fights are not an exciting Affair, just a chore. Every now and then there is a Boss Who represents a Difficulty Spike, but if you have grinned enough is also the one Clack. If not, you can pack up.
If you're not busy sending Desert Predators and Sumerian gods to Hell, you're lapping through the Area to reach a Destination. Once you reach this, there is a new Destination and you keep slipping (or back).
There is nothing To Discover, only the most necessary Objects have really been inserted into the Game.
Atmosphere Tja, the Atmosphere ... Since the Game was made with the RPG Maker, the Environment looks quite chic. Unfortunately, that doesn't save the subpar level Design. This seems like quickly thrown together, so that you just have something to show for it.
Speaking of Being thrown together: The Sprites of the Characters and NPCs sometimes do not fit together at all. The Three Kings look like Zip Beam Gnomes in 8-Bit graphics as Jesus and his Apostles lush through the Area in a Pseudo-3D graphic.
Then when it comes to the Fight, the Spectacle becomes truly creepy. Terribly rendered, misshapen Pseudo-3D figures appear in front of equally misshapen 3D backgrounds, or worse, in front of Seemingly Hand-drawn in MSPaint drawn backgrounds with less than 16 Colors.
As for the acoustic Background: Actually, I'm an Atheist, but the Soundtrack brought out my Piety by letting a "My God!" Go through my Head. From time to time also a "My Fresse!"
This means: After not even that long, he goes to the Bag animal.
Add to that the somewhat own Humor of the Game, which occasionally makes for a little Chuckler because of its very cute Nature, but seems very forced most Of the time, and rather causes an embarrassingly touched Eye roll.
Verdict/TL; DR Tja, initially I was still good Things, and thought the Game might entertain me a bit.
But due to the monotonous and non-challenging gameplay, which is mainly based on Grins, as well as the dreadful Presentation in the Points of Sound and Image, the Disillusionment quickly arose. The forced looking humour, which-though a little charming Now and then-mostly only made for embarrassing Touch, then, in my Opinion, gave the Game the Rest.
