Game is kinda repetitive.

[IvanLeTerrible]

Dont get me wrong, the game is great, an instant classic, but I cant play more than two levels a day cause its really repetitive. Its basically you lost in a maze full of nazis where you have to first find the key then find your way out while killing them nazis. Every level is like this, it kinda annoys me. Dont you guys feel the same?

I don't really get what you mean. Every first person shooter is navagating towards the exit while you kill enemies.

Games back then didn't have these amazing story arc or elaborate plot.

I mean they could only really do so much back then, so after 3 or 4 episodes it starts feeling a bit familiar.

I think if you looked at more recent first person shooters and ignored some of the gimmicks and cutscenes and everything, they would also be nothing more than a maze with keys and killing whatever kind of enemy that game has.

You have a point, get in the mood by getting high or playing with friends while wasted

Eh I still kind of think this was the peak of first person shooters. They started heading downhill the moment they added a Y axis.

Theres a reason peope cite Doom more than Wolfenstein. Maybe play Doom instead?

IT looked better for starters.
I actually played Doom before Wolf 3D. Certain computers at school had doom on them and we knew how to get it working.
My dad bought an old computer from work and it had Wolf 3D installed, it was an Intel 386

You are right. But the fact is, this game is what brought first person shooters onto the market. this is THE game that changed the face of gaming forever. Back then, this was top of the line, it was an amazing game with so much detail and replayability.

Sadly, unlike doom, it hasn't aged well.

Yep, game is definitely repetitive and not one to play in long playthroughs. This is something that's best to just be played in very short bursts at a time because you'll definitely start getting bored.

This game was top of the class in its day. Sadly, compared to doom it really hasn't aged well. Even with map editors, there are some massive limitations.

I find that the right way to play this game is to play how it was intended. Get into a hard enough difficulty level, and play it without abusing the save function. You have a finite number of lives. That's how many attempts you get at an episode.

As far as I know, it's the only FPS that attempts that. It can be quite an unforgiving game. If you fail to see the random guard behind a door before you get into a room, one or two shots at close range can end your life and force you to restard with a simple gun.

Wolf3D is still a very, very, great game. It's beautiful in simplicity, is still challenging, and a must play.

The only thing I dislike about Wolf3D is the mouse behavior (if you've tried to turn fast you know what I mean) and that some of the levels in the last 3 episodes feel kinda rushed.

[taxalot]

You aren't supposed to play with a mouse.

Actually id Software themselves encouraged the player to use the mouse to play.

As the official Wolf3D manual says in the "Hints and Strategies" section:

"Use the keyboard and the mouse to play the game. The mouse provides
better control for shooting and turning. Also, the Strafe mode is much easier using the second mouse."

If you watch the demos (probably recorded by John Romero himself) you can tell the player's using a mouse.

Not to mention the mouse configuration is righ there in the menu.

Just lol.
