Story

World War II rages and nations fall. Himmler’s German SS Paranormal Division has Hitler's full backing to twist science and the occult into an army capable of annihilating the Allies once and for all. As US Army Ranger William “B.J.” Blazkowicz, you're on a solo mission to pierce the black heart of the Third Reich and stop Himmler...or die trying.

  • Experience a blend of action and horror in the single-player campaign
  • Wield a combination of classic WW2 and fictional, sci-fi-inspired weapons.
  • Fight against Nazis, the undead, and experimental mutant soldiers
  • Compete as Axis or Allies online, objective-focused and team-based multiplayer

Solid game

Solid game even after all these years. The reviews that nitpick silly things are always entertaining.. You fight more monsters than nazis.. Uh yeah after 2848358 of these games "fighting nazis" get boring that's why the monsters show up.. Stupid.. Reviews that simply say the holocaust was a lie" shouldn't get approved but hey there's hate speech right there, nice job mods. Should I go into a tirade against that idiot bc it's simply allowed on your site? The second half doesn't "devolve" because of traps they are just introduced in the catacomb levels, still plenty of shooting so what a stupid complaint It's a 20 year old game.. Of course you'll need a patch downloaded. It takes a minute and just shows your lazy complaining about it, like GOG should do everything for you.. Entitled american whiners lol

Medal of Honir: Occult Assault Edition

While MoHAA depicted fairly mundane WW2, its competitor RtCW took us to alternative reality where special German paranormal division actually made some occult discovery that could change the outcome of the war. And of course someone must rectify this situation. This is still great game today, there are however some supernatural enemies that are pain in the neck (bullet sponges dealing large damage). Didn't have any technical problems on a new PC, but if the game crashes, you may want to try Knightmare's 1.42d patch or iortcw. That said, if you ask me, I'll say: definitely worth playing.

it's ok, just don't expect too much

this game has a real BEEN THERE DONE THAT feel to it, and there is nothing wrong with that. this type of formula has worked for a very long time. so if you are looking for a very generic 1st person NAZI slaying brainless shooter then this game is for you, but just be aware of the TASTES GREAT LESS FILLING factor. i used to love simple 1st person 3d games like this but for me they just aren't enjoyable anymore.
