Muslims take on playing ancient mythology games?

Why?

They do not only have a problem with things like Christianity or alcohol, but they probably think games are too Western in general.

I suppose that Muslims who play video games are more moderate, and don't have issues with these things being shown in video games.

Muslims don't have a problem with Christianity, since the Quran says Christ was a major prophet of God and the religion of Christ is Holy and true. What Muslims have a problem with is a some Christians. Just the same as the world has problems with some Muslims.

But also one of the teachings of Islam is not to have or create images of the prophets, so physical depictions of Christ are against the teachings of the Quran. So a game that shows images of Christ is problematic. But a game with Christian themes (so long as they are not also anti-Islamic) shouldn't be an issue for Muslim gamers, of which there are no doubt millions since consoles do sell in Islamic countries, and they can't all be selling to the Christian, Buddhist, and Jewish minorities.

Islam also began within a culture that was polytheistic and steeped in idol worship, so Islam generally finds polytheism and idolatry to be objectionable. To extremists this extends to all forms of depictions and representations of deities, including mytghological ones (particularly since those deities were at sopme point belied to be real). But more moderate Muslims don't see historical mythologies as so problematic.
