Fursan al-Aqsa is 50% OFF on Steam Summer Sales 2023

See what people are saying about the most controversial game on Steam

Steam Summer Sales has began! Do not miss this opportunity!!!

By just 7 bucks you can get the 2 most freaking based indie games on Steam which are not available on Xbox Game Pass neither on Playstation Plus, but are coming soon to Epic Games Store.

Fursan al-Aqsa is an Action Game which addresses the Israel x Palestine conflict from a Palestinian perspective, breaking the cliché of portraying Arabs as Terrorists. You will play in missions across Palestine with many objectives to accomplish, epic battles, powerful guns, vehicles to drive and more.

This game has 2 versions, Classic and Remake. The Classic is a full game, with 9 Campaign Missions, up to 8 hours of gameplay, but it is a game which follows a retro old school hardcore style, and may not appeal for younger generations, but this game is iconic and full of memes and non sense bonkers action moments.

And Fursan al-Aqsa Remake is the natural evolution of this game, it is a brand new game which I am giving for FREE for those who buy Fursan al-Aqsa on Steam. The Remake version is indeed the “Palestinian Max Payne on Steroids”. It has better graphics, better physics, improved enemies AI, new gameplay mechanics, and many other cool improvements. It has only 2 missions so far, but they will give you many hours of fun, because the Ranking System, Unlockable Skins and the Steam Achievements. Fursan al-Aqsa Remake is an Early Access game, on which I plan to release more content constantly.

So that’s all for now folks.

All the best,

Nidal Nijm, a.k.a “The most BASED game developer on Steam”.

Fursan al-Aqsa Classic Episode 2 - The Battle of al-Aqsa Mosque

This is a brand new update for Fursan al-Aqsa Classic, the most BASED indie game on Steam!

Watch the trailer here:

Since I realized an increased interest from steam players on Fursan al-Aqsa Classic, the most BASED indie game of all times, and since Fursan al-Aqsa Remake is an Early Access game, so, whoever buys the game can at least play the complete Campaign of the Classic version, I decided to make a very nice update, to show some love to Fursan al-Aqsa Classic, since this game is simply iconic, due all the controversy and novelty around it.

I decided to release the so called and not too much expected Fursan al-Aqsa Classic Episode 2. What I can say now is that Episode 2 is what I wanted Fursan al-Aqsa to be on the day of its release, but was not able to do due my lack of experience with game development on that time. Now, more than one year after the initial release, I learned a LOT of things, and most important, I was able to build an AMAZING community around my game, made many friends here on Steam and got a lot of feedback and I am applying everything on Fursan al-Aqsa Remake, as you can see from the game progress and constant evolution.

One of the things I learned is how to setup Steam Achievements on Unreal Engine 3 (after I learned how to do this in Unreal Engine 4, for the Remake), and I added an Achievement for every mission of the Classic version, and believe me, it is worth revisiting it because the other significant update I made, the “Easy Mode”, which is activated by selecting Ahmad Falastini Remake from the Characters Selection Menu. Yes, I added the new updated model of Ahmad al-Falastini, the most BASED game protagonist of all times in Fursan al-Aqsa Classic.

I replayed all missions from the Classic and unlocked all achievement, and believe me, now playing Fursan al-Aqsa is fun and not frustrating!!!

However, the biggest update on Episode 2 is the addition of 3 new Missions, 1 mission from the Campaign, the Battle of al-Aqsa Mosque, the true final mission of the game, which comes after the Iron Dome Control Center, and 2 Challenges Missions which will keep you entertained and will give you some cool Achievements.

Now I can say that this one is indeed the final update on Fursan al-Aqsa Classic, since with the Battle of al-Aqsa Mosque I already “closed” the game’s narrative. Now the game continues on Fursan al-Aqsa Remake.

So if you did not buy Fursan al-Aqsa yet, grab it now and join the BASED Gamers Department!

Fursan al-Aqsa Remake - Nablus Preview - The Lions’ Den

This is a Work in Progress of the next mission I am working on for the most BASED indiegame on steam, the Batle of Nablus. I just finished the external area of the map (outdoor), but I still need to add lighting inside the buildings.

There are too many buildings on which the player can enter to make the combat even more frenetic than on Jenin Mission. By the way, this is the biggest map I made for this game, bigger even than al-Aqsa map from Fursan al-Aqsa Classic.

I still need some more time to finish this mission, as I want to add a new weapon, the Sniper Rifle, so you will be able to hunt down your enemies through the map.

I hope you enjoy this and until the next update, in sha Allah (God’s willing).

Fursan al-Aqsa Steam Autumn Sales, Steam Awards and Sniper Rifle Gameplay

Hello friends,

Another year is ending, and my game Fursan al-Aqsa is still kicking ■■■ on Steam and elsewhere.

We are now on Steam Autumn Sales, and I have given a 50% off discount for the most BASED game of all times. By the way, these are 2 games bundled in 1, Fursan al-Aqsa Classic and Fursan al-Aqsa Remake.

Fursan al-Aqsa Classic, recently received the End of Life Update, Episode 2 - The Battle of al-Aqsa Mosque, on which I completed the story of Ahmad al-Falastini, the most BASED game protagonist of all times, and added a brand new mission, the real final mission for the game, alongside many improvement, and, most important, I was able to add achievements on the Classic Version, so now the game is completed.

As for Fursan al-Aqsa Remake, it is a brand new game, with better graphics, physics, AI, new environment, new mechanics, and, most important, a new game style. While Fursan al-Aqsa Classic plays more like a tactical shooter, on which every wrong movement can mean the failure of the mission, Fursan al-Aqsa Remake trully makes you feel a true BAD ■■■ ARABIC SUPER HERO, who can literally fly and run on walls.

I would describe Fursan al-Aqsa Remake as a High Octane Insane Non Stop Action Game, with many crazy moments and, especially, over the top cutscenes, just like the traditional Holywood Action Movies of the 80’s.

But Fursan al-Aqsa Remake is something like an Early Access Game, on which I am constantly adding new content, missions, weapons, skins and so on. I don’t have an expected time when I will finish Fursan al-Aqsa Remake’s development, but I try at each 2 or 3 months release a new update (new mission with other new improvements on the game).

So I kindly invite you to both BUY Fursan al-Aqsa now at 50% OFF and also to vote on my game for the Labor of Love Award.

Steam Winter Sales begins tommorrow. This is the biggest season sales event on Steam, and, for this reason, I decided to give again a HUGE discount for my game (50% Off). Do not forget that you are buying 2 games in 1 package (Fursan al-Aqsa Classic and Fursan al-Aqsa Remake).

Both games are fun and unique, while Fursan al-Aqsa Classic plays more like a tactical retro-shooter, which makes you feel like a Palestinian Solid Snake, Fursan al-Aqsa Remake makes you feel like a Bad ■■■ Palestinian Max Payne on Steroids, by allowing you to kick ■■■ of IDF Soldiers in the most creative and funny ways.

Here you can check the latest steam reviews for my game, from other gamers (these reviews are more honest than the reviews of sites like IGN and Gamespot):

Politics aside, this game is very fun to play, since it has some memorable and over the top action moments which will trully make you feel immersed in the gameplay experience, alongside with its unique Soundtrack, Classical Palestinian Resistance Songs which help to create the mood for this game. And if you check Fursan al-Aqsa Remake last update (Ultra Realistic Mode), you will have too many laughs

I added diapers for the IDF soldiers and fart sounds, just like they do in real life

I plan to make this a season update, and remove it on the next update, Nablus Mission, unless you want to keep this. The decision is up to you!

Last, but not least, I ask this for the almost 20k users who whishlisted my game, please, buy Fursan al-Aqsa now on Steam Winter Sales! This is the best moment to support my game, since now another campaign against my game started on Social Media, so supporting my game shows to these haters that this game has thousands of players and supporters around the world.

Fursan al-Aqsa Remake - Steam FPS Fest & Nablus Update

Embark in this new mission with Ahmad al-Falastini, the most f***ng based game protagonist of all times. Have fun hunting some zionists with a sniper rifle (just like in real life).

Finally after many months I was able to finish this new update which brings also many other quality of life improvements on the game besides this new mission, as you can see below.

So what you are waiting for blowing up #zionist #terrorists?

Do not miss this opportunity to buy Fursan al-Aqsa on Steam FPS Fest by just 7 bucks!!!

Here follows a list of changes for this new update:

Added rebind keys support for movement (WASD), especially usefull for AZERTY keyboards;
Added rebind key for Camera View Change, useful to solve problem some players had whenever using TAB as the camera change key;
Added full Gamepad Support with rebind keys options (except for movement and camera, which are hardcoded to left and right thumbsticks);
Even though Gamepad is Supported, you will still need to use the mouse for navigating through some menus (Mission Selection Screen, Skins Selection, Options);
There is a bug on which sometimes even though your key rebind configurations were saved/loaded correctly but on the options menu (in the game’s main menu) it is not updated correctly. To avoid this, always rebind/check your keys settings on the settings menus from inside the pause menu (not on the options menu from the main menu);
Fixed some menus elements which were out of place on ultra wide monitors;
Added a Bullet Time Reset Counter for helping players with the Ranking System and some Achievements;
Added a Target Locking System, a.k.a Red Triangle of Death LOL;
Added new weapon Sniper Rifle;
Added new weapon Missile Launcher Tower;
Removed Diapers Update (it will come back later on as an optional mode LOL);
Added new mission: Nablus The Lion’s Den;
Added 5 new Steam Achievements;
Added full Steam Community Items: Trading Cards, Badges, Emoticons, Profile Backgrounds and Animated Stickers;
Added the original demos for preservation purposes. They are not polished enough, have many bugs, but you can see at least the evolution of Fursan al-Aqsa Classic. However, due some copyrights issues, I did not add these builds on Steam, but you can download them freely from IndieDB:

To play them you need to go to \Binaries\Win32\FursanAqsaGame.exe

Thanks and until next time!

Hello friends!

It has been a long time since my last article here, because I have been too much busy with personal life stuff, my job, but even then, I have been working, slowly, “behind the scenes”, in Fursan al-Aqsa Remake, and I plan to release very soon, a new update, a brand new mission, as you can see in the images sections here.

This new mission will introduce a new gameplay mechanic alongside a new weapon, new objectives, new steam achievements, new enemy classes and much more!

Solo game development takes time, and I would love to be able to dedicate more of my time to this project, but unfortunately, this is not possible, so I can only work in my free time (whenever I get some).

Anyway, I am very happy and thankful to Allah (God) and to you, players of my game, because Fursan al-Aqsa is still alive and “kicking ■■■” on Steam, even after almost 3 years of release, unlike many big AAA games which simply flop after some months of release.

Yes, Fursan al-Aqsa never had a big peak of concurrent players on Steam, but I am happy because every month, thousands of new players by and play my game, there is always a new Youtube Gameplay Video of Fursan al-Aqsa by some player, there is always a new positive review on Steam (by the way this game is now 10 out of 10 on Steam, something big AAA games dream to reach).

And as another great achievement for my game, it is now competing in the DevGAMM Awards 2024, and I am very hopeful it can be among the winners, like it won recently the Best Hardcore Game Award in the Game Connection America Event. But for this, I need your help!

Feel free to share the link with your friends to spread the word!

May Allah bless you for your support
