One must avoid anything that could tarnish the esteemed status of the Prophets and Messengers, peace be upon them, or diminish their standing. For this reason, scholars have prohibited depicting their images, even if the intention is good, such as making stories more accessible to children.
Similarly, depicting stories from the Holy Quran and the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, is prohibited.
As for other historical stories that are not related to the Prophets, the Companions, or the stories of the Quran, there is no harm in creating games related to them in the manner described.
