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. 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. 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. 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. The controls for this mobile app work great. I’ve even found a number of the secrets, which is always fun to find. Part luck, part skill, and part classic wall-humping ;) Suffice it to say, if you’re a classic FPS fan, what are you waiting for? Download it already!

Can’t get an email reply for a question I have from the company, hence the 1 star rating.

If by some miracle, you get to level 9 with enough ammunition to win, there is no red door. None. At least let me complete the level. I might even buy the second episode.
