Evaluation

On October 10, 2026 the developer posted a final build for Fursan al-Aqsa: The Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. It moves the Remake version to Unreal Engine 5, adds the final mission The Lions of Gaza, and includes bug fixes, new weapons, new enemy tanks, and Steam Deck compatibility. The post states this is the last update for the game. The developer says they need to take a break from development to focus on a full-time job, and that another year of work would only be possible if the game's wishlists convert to sales in one go, though no specific future content is announced. The previous major content update, Operation al-Aqsa Flood, was posted on November 11, 2024. The engine migration and new mission were first previewed in a roadmap posted on June 29, 2025. The Classic version was declared completed in a November 21, 2023 post after its final episode and achievements were added. Since the developer has declared the final build the last update, the game is treated as complete as of October 10, 2026.

About this game

FURSAN ALAQSA - ABOUT THE GAME

Fursan al-Aqsa: The Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque is a Third Person Action Game on which you play as Ahmad al-Falastini, a young Palestinian Student who was unjustly tortured and jailed by Israeli Soldiers for 5 years, had all his family killed by an Israeli Airstrike and now, after getting out from the prison, seeks revenge against those who wronged him, killed his family and stolen his homeland, by joining a new Palestinian Resistance Movement called Fursan al-Aqsa: The Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

This game is greatly inspired by Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear Solid, Call of Duty Modern Warfare, Insurgency Sandstorm, Max Payne and Goldeneye 007.

FURSAN ALAQSA - ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT

This game is being developed since 2017 by one person (me, Nidal Nijm, licensed Unreal Engine Developer), in a custom version of UDK Engine (Unreal Engine 3), using the best technology to tell a compelling story through a videogame packed with non stop action, advanced 3D graphics and modern gameplay mechanics, while keeping the soul of Old School Shooters.

You will play in missions across ground, sea and sky, with many objectives to accomplish in each mission, epic bosses battles, powerful guns, vehicles to drive, helicopters to take down, and much more. Expect a LOT of Action and Adrenaline!!!

FURSAN ALAQSA - CHANGING PEOPLE'S PERSPECTIVE

Fursan al-Aqsa: The Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque is a game which addresses the Israel x Palestine conflict from a Palestinian perspective, breaking the cliché of portraying Muslim and Arabs as Terrorists, Bandits, Villains and the Americans/Israelis as the "Good Guys" and "Heroes" of History. This is the first game in the games industry which addresses such a sensitive topic, in a realistic way, showing the other side of history, which is very unknown by people, mostly here on west.
