Survival now seems to depend on scouring the levels for health kits, using syringes and trying not to get cornered by multiple enemies – though that’s much easier said than done.

This is not, I don’t think, a game for hoarders. I think I’m going to have to save often and make good use of my inventory in order to progress.

Where I am now, I’m out of anti-fire syringes, I’m surrounded by a lot of enemies and I’m scared. Very, very scared.

That screenshot above reminds me of happier, simpler times.

So, yes, it’s a turn-based first-person shooter, with some light RPG elements. You move, wait for the enemies to move, then move again. It really doesn’t sound very appealing, but nor did Doom RPG at the time. Somehow, though, it all works. Exploration, conversation and combat are all perfectly balanced to keep you playing, wanting to see what’s going to be around the next corner. It’s pretty wonderful, really. I wanted to play some Civilization Revolution last night, but kept starting this up instead.

The only minor disappointment is that the enemies aren’t Nazis. Well, yes, they are, obviously, but they’re never referred to as such, there aren’t any swastikas and the “Hitler” portraits scattered around show a man with a tiny chin beard rather than a moustache. It’s no big deal, really, but it’s a little disappointing. I do love to kill me some Nazis. Not Axis soldiers. Not German soldiers. Nazis. I hate those guys.

…it’s Wolfenstein, which felt archaic in 1994. Bring on Doom classic.
