Wolfenstein RPG Hands-on Video

Wolfenstein RPG (iTunes Link) isn’t your typical shooter, instead of relying on your reaction time to overcome foes you’ll use more strategy. The game is turn based so you’ll have plenty of time to think over each move. At first Wolfenstein RPG did seem lacking in the tactical department, but after more play I began to see how important strategy is for this title.

When in combat it’s tempting to simply charge at your enemies and attack them head on, but since this is a turn based game, where each move or shot counts as turn, you’ll have to consider your actions more carefully.

A common mistake I made early on was to line up shots by moving B.J. in front of enemies, which only resulted in the enemy getting a free shot on me. If a doorway is near by it’s best to let enemies pile up at the door rather than wasting turns trying to position yourself in front of them, let them come to you.

Early on it may not seem like such a big deal, but conserving your ammo will be vital in the later stages. So whenever possible instead of using your gun to fire at enemies, punch them instead.

I haven’t played too far into Wolfenstein RPG, but from what I’ve seen so far, I’m digging it.
