About The Anointed: David Saves Keilah
You are David, a young shepherd boy that quickly realizes he has a greater purpose than just taking care of sheep. With wisdom, skill and bravery, you will progress through many events and locations from the biblical stories of young David.
The Anointed: David Saves Keilah is a single-player, action-adventure game with platforming elements experienced in 3rd-person perspective. This is a demo of the larger game, The Anointed: Heart of David - due to be released in late 2026. In DSK, David traverses many locations; moving through the wilderness of Ziph, the Forest of Hereth, and the threshing floors and stronghold of Ancient Keilah, all in this single episode (1 Sam 23). As David, the player has the physical ability to walk, crawl, crouch, sprint, jump, vault over objects, climb on buildings, scale up walls, swing from ropes, and there is even a horse for those long runs through the wilderness.Although the story is linear, there are plenty of things to discover and many paths to take to fulfill each part of David's mission to save Keilah. There is a vast open-world feel with no time limits between objectives. There are loud thunderstorms and bright sunny skies, and David has a torch to light his way inside dark rooms/areas. Dialogues and Scrolls of information (Scripture) help guide David on the right path, while providing invaluable lessons. And, there are videos (Prayer Tips) that help the player navigate the challenges ahead. David's sling, staff, sword and spear are very useful weapons against the Philistines, the wild animals, and all the enemies of David - but Stealth and patience can be the most rewarding strategy. The Vitality, Righteousness, and Empowerment meters reflect the state of David during gameplay.
All of these elements and features come together in an exciting version of the biblical narrative of David, God's Anointed.

Its a little hard for me to get the controls down, but I love the game. Its very rare that there is a game that is about something in the Bible. Thanks to the devs for making this, God be with you guys and if you need/want someone to test new Bible games in the future, feel free to reach out to me.5 found this helpful
I am really glad to see teams striving for high quality games centered around a truly amazing story. Can't wait to see what they come up with next!
I have played this game every 6 months since release. It really grew on me. i got attached to the game. Especially the surroundings, they were the biggest asset. Now, recently the game got updated and it got semi-reworked after the old combat system got buggy. Some changes were for the better while other... changed the game i grew to like. For example, now combat and everything you do is a tidy bit more linear, less freedom to jump and kick, or even throw moves against several enemies at once. Because now you get KOed by 3 punches. Also the mountains and textures got changed and now every section looks the same. Before it had a nice charm to it, it really looked like it was made by someone. There were even some parts that had a kind of mineral like texture, now the rocky environments and some other features look like they were made with AI. Not horrendous its mostly better in some areas but as i said it took the charm of a game that was build with the purpose of fun in mind while still learning. now that the most fun got removed its much more stressful to hit the combos right so as to be able to finish the game. Now its just you trying to stick as close as possible to how exactly …
It was good and repetitive at same time. The combat system was extremely repetitive. And I found out that if David just ran through all the combat zones then he would just go on past almost all scenes and get past all the Philistines lol I don't recommend the game at the current state. Please focus on world building and current features before attempting to add new features. I can open the Bible and get more fun out of the Bible then play the game. The videos need to be drastically improved. People are talking and their mouths aren't moving. I am a Christian and love the Lord but it seems the devs tried putting in a lot of features from different games without attempting to polish the features that were already in the game. The weather conditions like the rain and lightning and extremely buggy and taking too much graphics processing.
This was one of the greatest fever dreams of a game i have ever played, and honestly if i wasn't with my friends i would have cried playing this game istead of laughing hesterically. 10/10 best video game ever produced.
ok, so, i went into this with some expectations, but those were shattered. thrown on the floor and stepped on. so, i thought this was gonna be something good. the graphics wernt to bad, and the trailer was alright. ive played some games with not great looks, but the gameplay, is really bad. sometimes its unresponsive, the battle systems need work, the aiming and shooting needs work as well. the enemies, especially the bears in this game, are crazy. they are relentless, and wont leave you alone. i died so many times. dont get me started on the loading times too, that are long. if you wanna see how bad the game is, check out my vids on youtube, im sqaull17 on youtube. i will complete this "game" and tell you more how i feel about the whole game. well, later. and if youre really curious, try it out, its free. see the frustration your self. so, i have completed the game, and im still a no go on this game. well, demo, but i hope the full game is better. cause the ending was just a cutscene when i thought it was gonna be a full level. but its a demo, so i suggest coming into this, that its a demo, and probably a beta. cause it plays as one as well. the controls for pc, were not great, a…
