Bought Fursan Al-Aqsa: Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque a while ago on discount. Finished it last week.

For those who don't know, it's made by a Palestinian man that lives in Brazil. Got banned in the UK and EU after he added a "Operation Al-Aqsa Flood" mission(basically october 7)

There are actually 2 games in it. One that's already finished called "Classic" and one that's currently being developed called "Remastered". The classic plays a lot like early 2000s shooters like Delta Force. Expects you to go in carefully, conserve your resources and peak around corners and such. I like it a lot but it would probably be frustrating/feel outdated to people used to modern FPS. Contains classics like fighting on an Israeli "frigate" that looks like a WWII battleship, feed the captain to a giant shark with Palestinian flag painted on it before blowing the ship up. Or sneaking into the Iron Dome command center, rescuing Abu Obeida obaida-index before blowing the entire base up. Abu Obeida sacrificing himself to ensure the success of the mission.

The remastered version plays more like shooting galleries with wall runs and regenerating health. Has less substance IMO except hilarious cutscenes straight out of Mortal Combat. Currently only has 4 levels and is in the middle of an engine upgrade, so who knows if it will ever be complete. The "update preview" shows a 3D render of Yahya Sinwar sinwar-victory , which is cool.

Should only take about 7 hours to complete. With an all achievement completionist run taking 9-10.
