“…En esta investigación, se parte de este planteamiento para superar las fronteras del discurso ideológico dentro de los juegos y observar cómo las creaciones interactúan con las comunidades de videojugadores. En concreto, se propone una revisión del contenido y recepción del videojuego Fursan al-Aqsa: The Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque (Nidal Nijm Games, 2022), a tenor de la polémica que gira en torno a la conveniencia de su discurso (Moya & Moreno, 2022) y que se inserta en la línea del análisis de la representación de los conflictos internacionales a través del videojuego.…”

Esta investigación propone un análisis ludonarrativo del videojuego «Fursan al-Aqsa: The Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque» (Nidal Nijm Games, 2022) y su representación del conflicto israelí-palestino. En concreto, se examina la narrativa del juego a través de sus códigos comunicativos e identificadores geopolíticos, y cómo influye en las percepciones de los jugadores. Para ello se emplea un análisis temático basado en la teoría de la desconexión moral de Bandura y se analiza tanto el discurso del videojuego como su difusión en Twitch y Youtube, además de las reseñas de jugadores en plataformas de distribución. El análisis permite identificar cuatro factores de desconexión (reinterpretación del comportamiento censurable, responsabilidad, consecuencias y víctimas), mientras los resultados posibilitan construir un modelo de interpretación de videojuegos y discursos ideológicos a partir de Bandura, proporcionando una base empírica con relación a la articulación del mensaje de Fursan al-Aqsa, la propuesta de los creadores de contenido y las aportaciones del público.

This study explores Fursan al-Aqsa: The Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque (developed by Nidal Nijm Games in 2022) highlighting its role in the portrayal of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a paradigm between propaganda and entertainment. By examining the game’s discourse, and its impact on player perceptions, this research sheds light on how video games can shape understanding and engagement with geopolitical issues. The research utilises Albert Bandura’s concept of moral disengagement to analyse the game’s content and its reception on platforms like Twitch and YouTube. By assessing how the game frames moral considerations through its narrative and gameplay, this study reveals the potential of digital games to affect player perceptions and contribute to the broader media landscape surrounding political issues. The analysis also explores the reception and re-interpretation of the game by players and content creators, thus offering insights into the complex interplay between video game content, ideological influence, and audience engagement.

This study reviews existing literature on how video games are being used to convey contemporary political discourse. Digital games, as meaningful cultural artifacts, have become a communication medium in their own right. They can serve as social mirrors, framing contemporary reality through metaphors that represent and recreate transcendent events or social facts through immersive experiences. Likewise, video games have played a significant role in shaping our current politics and culture. This article seeks to answer the research question: How has contemporary political discourse been explored through digital games in academic literature? To do so, we conducted a systematic literature review following the SALSA (search, appraisal, synthesis, and analysis) framework. We identified <em>N</em> = 25 journal articles written in English and Spanish, published between January 2013 and September 2023. We found that first-person shooter games were the most frequently discussed game genre in the academic literature, followed by newsgames. We propose a new method for categorizing political messages in digital games, which we have called the PRICE dimensions model (participation, representation, ideology, conflict, and education). The studied papers were classified into five main thematic groups: (a) video games as a tool for digital propaganda; (b) video games aiming to raise awareness of political issues; (c) games and gamification elements for radicalization; (d) game design that justifies, minimizes, or downplays violence; and (e) players’ role in conveying political messages.
