8 of 19I love your game
As a player of many FPS games, i can say that this is an AMAZING game! Don't be fooled by the graphics, this game is OUTSTANDINGLY FUN! I rarely ever enjoy a mobile FPS like this!<br/>Retro style. Good music. Cool enemies. Fun levels. Definitely get this!
This might be the best wolfenstine clone ever! Controls and gameplay are spot on perfect. I would of payed $5 for this game but got it for $0.99 what a steal!
I’m sure to many younger gamers, the primitive design might be a turn off, but to anyone familiar with 90s FPS, Wolfenstein 3D is a legendary game, really the genesis of the FPS genre. And more than just a historical curiosity, it’s a game that I’ve always felt holds up quite well, and I’ve replayed it several times. It may not be the blockbuster leviathan that its slightly younger brother Doom is, but it’s got the same fast-paced action, just without ceiling textures and with 90 degree, grid-like corridors. <br/><br/>This game runs on the same original engine (well enhanced version that Rise of the Triad used, since it has auto-map feature) and is a loveletter to Wolfenstein 3D.<br/><br/>I’d even say it is a bit better in some regards than Wolf3D, as the use of textures and sprites in this game contribute to the feeling of levels being an actual location, with vending machines, windows to the outside city, outlets in the walls, etc. It’s got nice powerups too, like coffee for speed or regenerating health to max pickups.<br/><br/>The game is just as fun as the original Wolf3D, with a unique theme that reminds me of Stan Smith from American Dad. I even prefer “Area 52” over Blake Stone—another Wolf3D clone, from back in the day, that tinkered too much with the winning formula—or Rise of the Triad, Wolf’s spiritual sequel.<br/><br/>The controls for this mobile app work great.<br/><br/>I’ve even found a number of the secrets, which is always fun to find. Part luck, part skill, and part classic wall-humping ;)<br/><br/>Suffice it to say, if you’re a classic FPS fan, what are you waiting for? Download it already!
The game is fun,the music is entertaining,and the controls are easy to use.If you like Wolfenstein,you should like this FPS game.I would give this game five stars,but there is one major problem.This app constantly freezes during play.This is very frustrating.I have to turn off the phone and turn it back on to get the game to start,but then your progress gets erased and you have to start over.It does need more levels,but that is minor.If the freeze-up is corrected,this app deserves five stars.
Smooth and clean retro action just like Wolfenstein 3D! Great control stick and options for different styles but I liked the default method the best. The accellerometer tilt and straffe if cool too but I preferred the simple default control. The nice thing is you can choose to go back and play any level or chapter at any point - but its good to start from the beginning to build up an arsenal!
Great fun, action packed, and above all the controls are very responsive! A great retro style! I loved wolfenstein 3D and this took me back. love it!
This game looked mildly amusing and had good reviews so I decided to check it out. As soon as I selected a level— and before I even got to try it- an ad played. A long, un-skipable video ad.<br/><br/>Needless to say, it wasn’t a great way to start a game. Once you lose you get another ad. Graphics are mediocre at best, and gameplay isn’t much better. Best to avoid unless you like watching a lot of ads.
