Yes, yes, another new game. Why? Well, partly because I’ve got credit in my iTunes account and I like getting new games. Mainly, though, it’s because Doom RPG was the only truly great game I ever played on my previous mobile phone, a K800i. I hardly ever played games on that, but Doom RPG I devoured – after some initial confusion. So when I saw Wolfenstein RPG was available I tried to resist, but lasted mere hours.

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.
