Babel Rising is a video game developed by Mando Productions and produced by Michel Bams and Olivier Fontenay. An arcade game with short levels, the 2D version of the game was first published in 2009 and in 3D in 2012. Babel Rising 3D was published with Xbox achievements for Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 in October 2013. The storyline is based on the legend of the Tower of Babel, where God unleashes his wrath and powers against pagans who endeavor to build a tower to reach him. The goal is to stop them from ever reaching the skies. The player impersonates God and uses her/his powers to destroy the workers or the tower they are trying to build. Often praised by reviewers for its high quality graphics,〔(article of TouchGen )〕 Babel Rising rapidly meets its audience and, as of now, has brought together a community of close to four million players. Improvements are regularly put forth and a spinoff, Babel Running, was released in 2012. ==Plot== The game is a fanciful adaptation of a biblical context.〔Genesis, chapter 11〕 At the time of the construction of the city of Babylon, the humans erect a tower meant to reach the skies and they show such arrogance as to supposedly irritate God-the player. The action takes place in an imaginary Babylon and uses various monuments and places associated to this civilization. The game does not take itself seriously and, as such, disregards historical facts. Workers can thus build the Tower of Babel, the Ishtar Gate, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, but also more fanciful buildings such as a giant statue. The characters in the game are the workers that the player must incessantly destroy whilst they carry on with the construction of the tower. Such as Lemmings, the workers do not seem to notice what goes on around them and strive to complete their mission at all costs, even if this includes crossing a wall of fire. Depending on the version, the player may also face protector priests who will fend off her/his powers, or siege towers that the workers will have placed next to the tower. The only named character in the series is King Nabu, and is a reference to Nebuchadnezzar II, famous for his building of Babylon. Nabu is portrayed as a secret tyrant, the most arrogant of all human beings, the man who issues the construction orders that anger the player. He is mentioned but never actually represented during the game, and the player never has the opportunity to eradicate him in person. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Babel Rising」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
