Can you imagine a game like Pokémon GO where, instead of Pokémon, you had to capture saints, martyrs, and biblical characters for your team? Well, don't imagine much because the title has just arrived in the Android and iPhone application stores. It's called Follow JC GO, and it's an amalgamation of what's seen in Pokémon GO, but with a most curious Christian twist for followers of this religion. A litmus test for their faith that will force them to walk through their city to create a true Evangelization team.
The idea is simple and fun, if you profess love for the Christian religion. Simply download the game, which is Free with in-app purchases, and create a user account. Once this is done, we can go on to create our avatar among a huge number of designs, both for men and women. There are uniforms of all kinds, from school uniforms (with an Asian cut) to different trades and styles. Don't be surprised to find skins or character aspects full of skulls and tattoos. There is something for everyone. Once you have detailed which diocese and parish you belong to (optional data) you can start playing.
Here the pattern is very similar to Pokémon GO. In Follow JC GO we are presented with the map of our environment, being able to move around it if we do it in reality.As if it were a GPS application to navigate. Throughout the map we find different types of coins floating. Some of them are in-game currency, with which you can buy second chances in challenges and missions. Others are collectibles to increase our eTeam or evangelization team. That is, these collectibles would be the Pokémon from Pokémon GO.
Now, in Follow JC GO we also see a strong component of trivia or question game And it is that to get hold of these saints , martyrs and blessed you have to answer questions correctly. If you succeed, the collectible goes to your evangelization team. If not, the tile disappears from the map in the place it was, forcing you to move to the next one to continue advancing in this evangelizing title. So it is better that you be aware of phrases, sayings, saints and biblical situations, otherwise it will be difficult for you to expand your team.
But there's more. Unlike Pokémon GO, in Follow JC GO you have to be very aware of the values of thirst, hunger and spirituality of your avatar or character. And it is that, if these have reached zero, you will not be able to continue expanding your team and collecting characters for your evangelization team. You just have to take a look at the bottom of the screen to know the level of these indicators and, of course, move to the coins that recover these values that are also found by mapping. Something that extends the difficulty of the title and that will make the pilgrimage of the most gamers lengthen.
By the way, Follow JC GO also has some extra functions not seen in Pokémon GO such as an internal chat to talk with other friends of the title.As well as a complete guide of points of interest to find nearby parishes, but also public transport stops, restaurants, banks, etc.
More to come
The title surprises by the development of its functions, which is already more than what Pokémon GO launched at the beginning two years ago. But at Follow JC GO they are still working on expanding the possibilities of this title. Thus, soon there will also be mercy missions to complete and give a more concrete meaning to your players' games. Missions that they can also create in order to help in social projects or in situations that require the participation of other people or players.
There will even be extra minigames and more information to expand knowledge about the characters added to the eTeam.
It's clear that it's not going to be the game of the year, and its graphic finishes aren't the best we've seen. But it seems like a curious and fun bet for the little ones, and perhaps those who are not so young, within the Christian faith.
