One of the best ever games

I love this game, have loved it ever since the shareware hit the BBS boards back in the 90s. I love this game so much I never care if I die. It's just too wonderful to be able to shoot nazis. Fondly remembered forever.

Badass Adventure

While nostalgia definitely helps one get over the dated graphics, this game is fun even for newcomers. The controls take a little getting used to, as does the aiming, but after that it's a glorious and difficult experience. While it isn't as rich as DOOM, there something to be said for the visceral pleasure of shooting down Nazis. You can spend weeks exploring and trying to beat this game in a completionist way, or you can just enjoy it as an easy-in-easy-out no commitment arcade.

Always fun to play

With the ECWolf mod it's even more fun to play through the whole game again. Finally an overview map and full HD resolution which makes the whole thing much more relaxed. :) I play this with Windows 10 without any problems.

The legend that would birth a genre!

Pro: Revolutionary for time of release. First time we saw super fluid control in a 3D space from a first-person perspective. Id pioneered addictive gun play that felt satisfying. Doom would later provide a kinetic and visceral feel to firing weapons that was only achieved through an intentional design that married animation, sound and programming in perfect harmony. The designers successfully created a dynamic where you wanted to pull that trigger over and over and experience that ensuing cathartic wave of watching your enemies erupt into tiny bits, or “gibs” again and again. The seeds of that can be felt here with the rhythmic rat-a-tat-a-tat-a of the machine unloading into nazi soldiers. SOUND! Crisp and chunky sound effects. The clanking and locking of the metal doors sliding open and shut echoing around you. The crunchy reveal of a secret wall opening before you. Actual voices of the soldiers as they are alerted to your presence or cry out in their death throes. The sound design elevates the game to a higher level of immersion and fun. Superscaled and detailed sprites for the bosses. SPEAR OF DESTINY: The final level and boss. No spoilers here, but the twist at the end is great. It is the cherry on top of an overall incredible game experience and sets shooter fans up for the ballistic ride Id was about to take them on with their next big game! Con: The game is probably too long. 90 levels created at a time when the designers were limited in how much variety they could add to the design, causes it to feel like it stretches itself too thin and it becomes repetitive. 45-50 levels would have been ideal. Episode 4 Mission 7. Trigger the wrong secret panel, and you soft lock your game with no indication that you have done so, or how. In a game that encourages you to discover and explore every secret wall, this is particularly cruel and can result in hours wasted wandering the level in search of something missed. Something the game will never disclose. 7/10
