Made in the spirit of Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Wolfenstein RPG represents a very different direction from the modern reboot of the franchise. Instead of the "Germany won WW2" trope, this game doubled down on the weird and occult elements with a humorous twist.
What made the game unforgettable was how it approached these elements: with exploration and turn based combat. In that sense it shares some similarities with Wolf 3D: you are rewarded for exploring the world, but the world of Wolf RPG is populated by fun puzzles, books to read, and sprites overflowing with personality.
Apart from the fleshed-out world and delightful graphics, what also made Wolf RPG so fun was its surprisingly deep combat system. Combine iconic WW2 weapons with performance enhancing "syringes" in a turn-based tactical system where positioning is key. The gameplay was kept fresh with regular shake-ups that introduced new challenges while advancing the narrative.
The game had me hooked and was far more immersive than one would expect for a phone game, with its colorful and (for the time) expansive world.
I want to see this game on GOG, not just because I want to experience it again on a bigger screen, but also because I want more people to get as much joy from Wolf RPG as I did. I am certain that this game's unusual design will find new appreciation with a modern audience and that many new fans will flock to it.
