We have no knowledge of this game, but we have clarified the rules regarding electronic games. If the statues in the game are presented in a way that makes them idols, glorified, and from which power and aid are sought, then playing it is not permissible due to its resemblance to polytheism (shirk). However, if it is possible to play without the presence of these statues, then it is not forbidden from this aspect.
