Pretty lame honestly

The best

Better than Doom.
Not quite as motion sickness inducing as Duke 3D.

>>715645393
this. just worse than doom in every respect

Very fun if you play it on the hardest difficult, it also got some pretty good mods.

I like the artstyle of Wolf3d more, or at least the earlier levels. It's ironic. You tend to think of the push toward stylised graphics as something shooters had to learn to do but what's often considered the first fps was actually pretty cartooney and colorful.

>>715645273 (OP)
YEAH!

>>715645273 (OP)
It's fun for like 30 minutes. No fucking way I will ever commit to beating it.

The box art still cracks me up after all these years

Tech demo, it wasn't very good

Basically a simple DOOM. I didn't play too far into it, so I can't give it a fully honest review.
The DOOM 2 Wolfenstein bonus level was awesome

Close to unplayable in this day and age and has aged like absolute garbage compared to Doom but it still has a special place in my heart. I recommend trying to play it with just the mouse, no keyboard binds at all, very unique experience.

>>715645273 (OP)
It really made me GET PSYCHED when it came out and I was 12 years old, but it hasn't aged well. Now it's just a historical milestone for PC games like Dune II and Maniac Mansion.

>>715645273 (OP)
it was mindblowing at the time.

>>715648850
Damn, I forgot how ass the controls were. Kinda fun zooming through the map by holding forward and moving the mouse forward, though.

I've replayed it in full over a dozen times since I was a kid. The responsive movement and fast-paced hitscan gameplay is addicting and fun, but it's got some problems, notably the weapon variety and especially the level design. There's softlock issues in Episode 4 that can ruin a playthrough. The first two levels of Episode 6 are completely tedious trash as well, but the last half of the same episode has the most intense and engaging levels in the base game, especially floor 6 where everyone in the level gets woken up and there's not a single safe spot where you can just camp and bottleneck enemies, forcing you to stay on the move. That's Wolfenstein 3D at its peak. Most of the time, though, you're just trundling through square rooms and hallways that don't offer much in the way of challenge or strategy depth.

One really good thing about Wolfenstein that is understated is the excellent sound design. Unique callouts, loud door opening sounds with directional audio, and enemy shots sounding accurate based on distance. I also love the simple AI of boss enemies and the Fake Hitlers that don't just go full aggro toward you like the standard grunt enemies. They strafe around, flank, and retreat when not shooting. If you play any mods, you'll likely see this more often with more standard enemies, such as the flamethrower guys in Castle Wasserstein. It shows that a modicum of thought was put into enemy AI in FPS games since the beginning. Finally, the game is just cool, action-packed, and does still provide a decent challenge in some moments due to the lack of armor and punishing nature of the enemies themselves. However, it's still ultimately a fair fight because non-boss enemies are hitstun when hit, and you can move at light speed to break line of sight the moment you know you're overwhelmed. It's stressful, but that's part of the unique charm. It's not a power fantasy at first, it's a gritty fight for survival, but it can be a power fantasy once mastered.

Is there a way to play it with DOOM controls?

ECWolf source port for vanilla OR Brutal Wolfenstein 7.0 for a Doom-style remaster are necessities. Both give the game modern resolution, framerate, and controls.

There's also some great mappack mods like Coffee Break and Castle Totenkopf SDL that also add in new weapons and enemy closet triggers for more sophisticated encounters with new enemies.

Thank you. I was using ECWolf, since the Steam version is absolute dogshit and it works fairly well. I'll check out the 2nd one too.

Its good, the gore aged phenomenally although it needs a map. Fuck the mutants though
