About This Game

Originally released in 2001, Return to Castle Wolfenstein is an action/horror first-person shooter, and reboot of the Wolfenstein series. Powered by the Quake III Arena engine, it features a single-player campaign and team-based online multiplayer.

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.

Features


  • 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.

RTCW was more than worth it when it was released, and it still is today. The tension you feel throughout the levels wasn't found in many other games back then, and that makes the replayability even greater than you might think. Especially when you can play the game in VR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOY5JBCO-6A&list=PLGsOL4SfL-mOCy8qPkQZqytNP_JxHj-tI&index=26 In virtual reality, this game is just as good, even for people who haven't played the original (which I'd be surprised to hear almost 25 years after its release), although I found the final boss a bit more difficult in VR than in a regular game. But for those interested, you can find the VR mod here: https://sidequestvr.com/app/1446/return-to-castle-wolfenstein-vr

Game is good, but don’t play this exact version. Instead, install the free [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1379630/RealRTCW/]RealRTCW[/url] mod. Installation is simple – just have the original installed and then launch through the mod.

A forgettable remake of a remake. The real hero of the day back then was Metal of Honor: Allied Assault, At least with that game the Germans spoke German! At first I was sold on the idea of a Wolfenstein update and it delivered....back in the day...However!...I did always find it cheesy and awkward that the so-called Nationalist Party Germans, SS, and all applicable Nazi agencies only spoke English with a German accent! Even the innocent German ladies in this remake of a remake could only cower and cry out once in English! WTF? Fast forward 24+ years and I can honestly say that this is a dated, guilty pleasure of a video game. A cheap Steam purchase that serves it's purpose at discount price! Talk about Bargain! When Return to Castle Wolfenstein was first released I liked the storyline and the Kinky girl assassins. Those gals are like Cat Woman Nazis with guns instead of whips! The introduction of the silenced machine gun was cool as well the grenades....back the day....but these d...

Good game to unwind to after being extremely gassy because talking to virtual women flares up your Irritable Bowl Syndrome and makes you super gassy but this lowkey calms your rumbly gassy belly down.
