The only good nazi is a dead nazi. What games are the best for taking them out?
India Jones and the Great Circle was a good start, and I’m considering Sniper Elite VR for the highly detailed nazi carnage. Wondering what other nazi-killing favorites are out there.
Wolfenstien
Oh, the two-pack on PSN is only $7.50 right now. I think I’ll pick it up.
Noice! Ya know I’ve never actually played Wolfenstein haha. But I want to!
They’re good games.
Even setting aside all of the gore and cruel executions, BJ’s growling inner commentary is a great mood-setter for that game.
I grow fat on all those chicken dinners on the original.
Red Dead Redemption 2.
OK hear me out.
Sure the game’s setting predates the Nazis and there are none to kill in the game. However, there is an entire inexhaustible faction of Confederates to murder. But even better than that, the game gives you several opportunities to stumble on a Klan meeting.
These encounters are special because they’re a sandbox for creative butchery and guiltless massacre. Even the game’s honor system looks the other way while you toss a gallon of liquor onto the burning cross, dousing the Grand Dragon and all his Cyclopses, sending them in a screeching panic, fully engulfed, off a nearby cliff just like that dude in Lord of the Rings.
It also has that one dude on the street in saint denis who
minor side character spoiler
is pushing his eugenics book.
I don’t know if anything really tops Wolfenstein TNO. Right from the get-go you’re running through a trench dual-wielding machine guns and just shredding Nazis like you’re mowing grass. Plus you can personally stomp Hitler’s face in! 10/10 experience.
The New Colossus was released during Trump’s first term and it was really cathartic to play during the shit storm. The game even pissed off the “alt-right.” The New Order and The Old Blood are much better at “endless destruction of Nazis” though.
Might be time to reinstall and play through them again.
Honestly, never tried the newer Wolfenstein games. This sounds amazing!
Blow out Hitlers ball in Sniper Elite. Can’t get better than that really. Or can you?
I came here exclusively to reiterate.
The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.
Commandos!
The one by Eidos, where there are “vision triangles” and you have to slowly take out a whole ton of nazis before terminating your objectives in each level.
My favourite is the Beyond the call of duty one.
Bear trap on their path, run back to cover.
Don’t let your dreams stay dreams
Gonna stray a bit from the other games mentioned here for the sake of adding something unique.
It’s not your traditional nazis per say, but the half life series fits quite nicely with this urge. The combine are genocidal, totalitarian, they use shit loads of propaganda, etc. They don’t have the looks of it, but they’re clearly the nazi type.
Metro 2033 and Last Light.
But those are the only games I have with nazis in them.
Well… There is that one nazi in Killing Floor 2…
The original monochromatic Castle Wolfenstein, blowing up Hitler with my buddy and his grandfather who lost family in the camps in Poland will always be a fun memory.
Nazi zombies, it shows them as the monsters they really are.
Real life
Lately I’ve been playing the Rise of the Triade remake, I’m a retro kind of old guy anyways.
Man, I loved that game (the DOS original)! I don’t remember the baddies being Nazis, but it would fit what I do remember from the rest of the game.
Just looked it up (it was originally called “Wolfenstein 3D II: the Rise of the Triad”):
In order to keep as many of the numerous game assets the team had already created from going to waste, Tom Hall came up with a new storyline which still incorporated the Nazi themes seen in the Wolfenstein series, however they would ultimately depart from plotlines involving Nazis, with the final narrative concerning a cult apparently inspired by the Californian folk legend of the Dark Watchers or ‘los vigilantes oscuros’.
Neat!
Edit: aw, man, quote your sources, ffs!
Ah you know what? I didn’t even realize that. I thought they were Nazis this whole time
Helldivers but only when you kill teammates
Zombie Army Dead War 4

You don’t only get to see nazis that are already dead, you can tear them into pieces again and again… It’s really super fun
It’s not fun if the nazis can’t feel it.
ooooooooooooooooooor maybe they do. and they’re dying twice.
