Left Behind: Eternal Forces#Sequels

The game features a single-player campaign and an online multiplayer mode.

In the single-player campaign, the player controls the Tribulation Force, a Christian group in a post-Rapture New York City, who are combating the influence of the Global Community Peacekeepers, the world government led by the Antichrist Nicolae Carpathia. The player directs the actions of the main characters (Rayford Steele, Cameron "Buck" Williams, Chloe Steele, and Bruce Barnes) and the Tribulation Force's units in an effort to defeat the Global Community Peacekeepers by converting neutral and Global Community-allied civilians to their side and only using lethal force against the Antichrist's army forces when necessary. But the player's main goal is to use conversion rather than violence, only resorting to combat when necessary, since killing causes the "spirit level" of the player's units to drop. If the "spirit level" of a player's unit drops too low, the unit will turn neutral or defect to the GCP (Global Community Peacekeepers), which can cause the player to lose the game.

In the multiplayer component of the game, up to eight players can compete online against each other in teams, with one team playing as the Tribulation Force and the other playing as the Global Community Peacekeepers.{{cite web |first=Jeff |last=McAllister |url=http://www.gameshark.com/reviews/2547/Left-Behind-Eternal-Forces-Review.htm |title=Left Behind: Eternal Forces Review |website=GameShark |date=January 12, 2007 |access-date=April 7, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120229191949/http://www.gameshark.com/reviews/2547/Left-Behind-Eternal-Forces-Review.htm |archive-date=February 29, 2012 |url-status=dead}}

Eternal Forces received "unfavorable" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.

Though some reviewers praised the game for originality, many panned it claiming it had a ridiculous plot, mediocre gameplay, poor graphics and sound, and technical problems with the user interface, pathfinding, and A.I. In addition, many reviews criticized the game for allegedly promoting sexism, bigotry, and religious warfare, and the option to play on the side of the Antichrist in a Christian video game.{{citation needed|date=December 2022}}

Reviewers of the game made note that several unit classes were restricted exclusively to male units and some claimed that it included racial stereotypes of Arabs and black people.{{cite web |first=Dan |last=Stapleton |url=http://www.pcgamer.com/archives/2006/12/12106_-_the_dif.html |title=The Difference |website=PC Gamer |publisher=Future US |date=December 1, 2006 |access-date=July 28, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070314155938/http://www.pcgamer.com/archives/2006/12/12106_-_the_dif.html |archive-date=March 14, 2007 |url-status=dead}}{{cite web |first=Zach |last=Whalen |url=http://www.gameology.org/reviews/left_behind_eternal_forces_first_impressions_finally |title=Left Behind: Eternal Forces -- First Impressions, Finally |website=Gameology |date=September 7, 2006 |access-date=July 28, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071012032044/http://www.gameology.org/reviews/left_behind_eternal_forces_first_impressions_finally#comment-1364 |archive-date=October 12, 2007 |url-status=dead}} GameSpot described this as part of a "1950s-style attitude" towards gender in the game, while PC Gamer described it as "the very definition of bigotry, or more specifically: misogyny."

Some reviews were more positive. IGN, Ars Technica and GameSpy disagreed that the game promoted "convert or kill"-style violence.{{cite web |first=Ben |last=Kuchera |url=https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2006/12/leftbehind/ |title=Left Behind: Eternal Forces |website=Ars Technica |publisher=Condé Nast |date=December 13, 2006 |access-date=December 12, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081204091610/http://arstechnica.com/reviews/games/leftbehind.ars |archive-date=December 4, 2008 |url-status=live}} While Wired criticized the game's exclusionary religious theme, it reviewed its gameplay more positively, saying, "The great surprise of Left Behind: Eternal Forces is that it actually kind of rocks.

The Anti-Defamation League criticized the game for what they called its "exclusivist religious system" against Jews. However, they also stated that the game avoided the level of violence found in the novels and that it was "an option only used by players if necessary when their forces are attacked by those hunting them, and any characters that kill others in the game are penalized". They went on to say that "Conversion to Christianity in the game is not depicted as forcible in nature, and violence is not rewarded in the game."{{cite web |url=http://www.adl.org/Interfaith/leftbehind.asp |title=Left Behind: Eternal Forces - The Video Game |website=Anti-Defamation League |date=December 19, 2006 |access-date=April 7, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120307185926/http://www.adl.org/Interfaith/leftbehind.asp |archive-date=March 7, 2012 |url-status=dead}}

Eternal Forces was the first release of Left Behind Games, which has invested heavily in development and marketing. Results for the last quarter of 2006 showed sales of $2 million for the game.{{cite web |first=Brendan |last=Sinclair |url=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/left-behind-sales-lagging/1100-6166206/ |title=Left Behind sales lagging |website=GameSpot |publisher=Fandom |date=February 21, 2007 |access-date=December 12, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929144431/http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/leftbehindeternalforces/news.html?sid=6166206&mode=all |archive-date=September 29, 2007 |url-status=live}}

Left Behind Games' public relations director stated:

The original game 'Eternal Forces' became one of the most highly publicized games of 2006, as politically motivated groups launched an all-out war against the game, by making false claims that the game included conversion to Christianity as a requirement or gave points for killing Muslims. The media frenzy resulted in feature stories on ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX NEWS, MSNBC, CNN, BBC, and numerous other worldwide networks and in print in the San Jose Chronicle, Newsweek, Wired and many others. After more than two years and a third-party investigation, it was determined that the Tides Center, a taxpayer supported non-profit, and others, launched and paid for a campaign to smear the game and Company, which may have resulted in a $200 million loss in shareholder value as the stock plummeted as a result of their misinformation campaign.{{cn|date=December 2021}}

In 2007, Operation Straight Up prepared to distribute care packages called "Freedom Packets" to the U.S. soldiers serving in Iraq as a part of the U.S. Department of Defense's America Supports You program. The packages were slated to include copies of Left Behind: Eternal Forces, which The Nation responded to by posting a blog entry claiming that the game included "kill or convert" violence against non-Christians and that characters shouted "Praise the Lord!" when non-Christians were killed.{{cite web |first=Max |last=Blumenthal |url=https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/kill-or-convert-brought-you-pentagon/ |title=Kill Or Convert, Brought To You By the Pentagon |website=The Nation |publisher=The Nation Company, L.P. |date=August 7, 2007 |access-date=December 12, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070914021207/http://www.thenation.com/blogs/notion?bid=15&pid=220960 |archive-date=September 14, 2007 |url-status=live}} This prompted ABC News to contact the Department of Defense. As a result of this controversy, OSU dropped its plans to include the game in the care packages.{{cite web |first=Anna |last=Schecter |url=http://blogs.abcnews.com/theblotter/2007/08/dod-stops-plan-.html |title=DOD Stops Plan to Send Christian Video Game to Troops in Iraq |website=ABC News |publisher=ABCNews Internet Ventures |date=August 15, 2007 |access-date=December 12, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070816174421/http://blogs.abcnews.com/theblotter/2007/08/dod-stops-plan-.html |archive-date=August 16, 2007 |url-status=dead}}

In February 2008, Left Behind Games announced a giveaway of one million copies of Eternal Forces.{{cite web |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/idUS141377+06-Feb-2008+PRN20080206 |title=Left Behind Games Announces Free Million Game Give Away |website=Reuters |date=February 6, 2008 |access-date=December 12, 2022 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120909224933/http://www.reuters.com/article/idUS141377+06-Feb-2008+PRN20080206 |archive-date=September 9, 2012 |url-status=dead}} The game was available either as a physical copy through the mail or as a download (requiring either a shipping and handling fee or digital download convenience fee).{{cite web |first=Andy |last=Chalk |url=https://www.escapistmagazine.com/left-behind-games-offers-almost-free-giveaway/ |title=Left Behind Games Offers (Almost) Free Giveaway |website=The Escapist |publisher=Gamurs |date=February 7, 2008 |access-date=December 12, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081205055340/http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/81273-Left-Behind-Games-Offers-Almost-Free-Giveaway |archive-date=December 5, 2008 |url-status=live}}
