L E F T B E H I N D : E T E R N A L F O R C E S [PC GAME]
Box Shot  Battle 
Gameplay:
The game is loosely adapted from the events of the book series, taking place in New York City. It is staged after the events of the Rapture, when all faithful Christians have been taken by God from the earth, leading to sudden chaos. These events coincide with the sudden rise of Nicolae Carpathia in his restructuring of the United Nations into the Global Community (GC). A group of Christians recognize this as the events of the Rapture, identify Carpathia as being the Antichrist, and form a group to fight the Global Community, the Tribulation Force.
In the single player missions, the player is required to head up the efforts of the Tribulation Force, with the heroes of Rayford and Chloe Steele, Buck Williams, and Bruce Barnes against the GC, with the heroes of the Enigma Leader, Jim Hickman, Steve Plank, Samuel Kline and Hattie Durham. Missions typically consist of attempting to convert as many people as possible to the Tribulation Force, through the use of "Recruiter" units to raise the "Spirit Level" of civilians. The player can train these new converts, termed "Friends", for a variety of occupations to help further their goal of spreading "The truth behind the disappearances." These converted "Friends" include builders, musicians, and soldiers. Eventually, the player will have to fight the GC, who will use various forms to propaganda as well as conventional combat to reduce the Tribulation Force's numbers. Using physical combat to eliminate GC units and being exposed to the GC's various forms of influence (rock music, secularist propaganda etc.) will lower a unit's Spirit Level, which can eventually lead to the units switching sides unless they pray to increase their own spirit level. There is also a multiplayer mode available, in which players can control the GC or the Tribulation Force. Among the GC's units are rock musicians, "Secularists" and cult leaders. Many of the enemy's units, including Rock Stars, Gang Bosses, Cult Leaders and heavier front-line soldiers are described as being trained in "College". Between missions, the player is also provided with articles about Christianity as well as general articles.
In addition to extensive spiritual warfare, armed conflict involving "more than 30 units types" is an additional aspect of the game addressed within the FAQ section of the Left Behind Games site. In its description of the game the Left Behind Games Company states "The remaining population – those who were left behind – are then poised to make a decision at some point. They cannot remain neutral." and ultimately choose to fight on the side of good, represented on the game by the "Tribulation Force", or the side of evil, represented by the "Global Community Peacekeepers". Since the game takes place during the time frame of the second book, the choice isn't enforced yet and there are many neutrals roaming the streets, even at the end of the last mission of gameplay for both single and multiplayer. It has been noted that there are three characters that have Middle Eastern sounding names, each representing a side belonging to the Global Community Peacekeepers, Neutral, and units on the Tribulation Force. Of course, since each of these units can be recruited back and forth, they don't always belong to one side. Players can recruit neutral units to be on their side, but no matter the training, the unit can't kill neutral units (attempting fire on them gives a message that it is not possible). "Trib Force" physical combat units also default to a defensive posture, only defending when attacked. There is a unit type called a "Secularist" on the evil side who specializes in deception.
Rock musicians in the game are also associated with the forces of evil.
The game has an extensive music library including Christian Rock music.
In February 2008, Left Behind Games announced the giveaway of one million copies of Eternal Forces.
