Play King of Kings (Japan) Online
You slash through Roman soldiers and dodge chariots in this janky but weirdly charming NES side-scroller—complete with chiptune hymns and a pixelated sword that somehow makes smiting enemies feel righteous.
Game Overview
Okay, so King of Kings on the NES is this weird little biblical action game that somehow works? You play as a robed hero slashing through Roman soldiers and dodging chariots—it’s like someone took Sunday school and turned it into a side-scroller. The controls are stiff in that classic NES way, but there’s something oddly satisfying about smiting enemies with a pixelated sword while chiptune hymns play in the background.
It’s janky, sure—some hitboxes feel unfair, and the platforming can be brutal—but the sheer audacity of the premise makes up for it. Where else are you fighting a dragon in the desert while collecting scrolls that vaguely reference scripture? Definitely one of those "had to be there" 80s rental store finds, but if you’re into obscure retro games, it’s a trip worth taking. Just bring patience for the occasional cheap death.
