Been on a fun little kick playing the Sniper Elite series and the Wolfenstein series and want some suggestions for what can replace it once I run out of campaign missions to do in those games.
While I would love to replay the campaign missions of COD, I ain’t paying like $30-60 for a two decade plus old game from EA. While I do prefer shooting nazi nazis, I don’t mind suggestions that have you shooting fascists in general.
Not interested in debating politics, just wanna shoot nazis.
Now that you mention it, I wish there was a musou-like (Hack and slash that mindless horde) or EDF-like game (BLOW THE WHOLE FUCKING CITY TO SAVE IT!!!) where the enemies are nazis.
electro-drum-flashdance? all these new genres confuse and frighten me
Earth Defense Force and it has been an ongoing series in the West since EDF 2017 on XBOX 360.
India Jones and the Great Circle - I don’t have the hardware to play it, but I have read great things (including a pretty good story if you like the old movies.).
Yes, you get to punch and kill lots of Nazis too.
I love Indiana Jones as a franchise, concept, and the look of this video game but even at 40% off it’ll be $60+ CAD which is a tough sell for one game. Base price its $90 CAD, which is more like $100+ after taxes. I’ll definitely play it eventually, but I think ill be playing the waiting game for a super steep discount.
It’s indeed a lot like the older movies. And it runs somewhat decently on a steam deck but expect texture pop in issues.
I thought the game was worth it.
I’m stuck in the first area of this game because I can’t stop myself from blowing my disguise so I can smash Italian fascists with lead pipes
You can punch Nazis, you can shoot Nazis, you smash them with sledge hammers or shovels. Highly recommend.
It’s on my steam sale wish list, NO TICKET
Far Cry 6, already mentioned but it’s great taking down fascists in very bloody ways. Some of the goofiest and most fun I’ve had with vehicles are the things the Yarans cobble together, like a dune buggy that also flies.
Wolfenstein 3D
Wolfenstein the New order was also good.
It was alright.
The ‘ancient jew magic’ stuff was a bit over the top.
MEIN LEBEN!
MY LIFE! (when playing the bizzaro-world version in TNO)
I really like the sniper elite series. I really did not like the last game. It just felt different/ reduced/ worse.
Yeah im playing it right now and on one hand it feels like I got more Sniper Elite 5. On the other hand, I paid $60 for what feels like just Sniper Elite 5 again. Thankfully I got 5 when it was during the steep discount sale so im kinda averaging like $23 per game between 4, 5, and Resistance. Considering how many hours I’ve gotten out of them I cant be too upset
It’s just a level pack for Sniper Elite 5 repackaged as a new game. They didn’t introduce a single new feature, and the levels are mostly just reused assets from 5 with new layouts.
And even 5 struggled to stand out from 4.
I actually think it’s a series that could use a refresh. Maybe a time jump to a different war or a move to a different theatre/front.
Or go full alt history and have us killing Nazis in other time periods. And not just Cold War era or modern Nazi killing: Sci-fi Nazi killing. Or Western!
How about something like Hitman but in a historical setting?
E.g. trying to assasinate Hitler or Stalin or someone else
Fascists in general?
Fallout has both the Enclave and Brotherhood of Steel to slaughter.
Don’t forget about Caesar’s Legion
Bbbut the NCR has like taxes, they are equally bad!
Bloodrayne was pretty fun back on the ps2. I think there’s a pc port on steam. That is if you want to dismember and devour them Nazis.
Came to say Bloodrayne as well. That final boss fight still haunts me though.
Upcoming one is Nekome

Fuck that does look about what I’m looking for. I really like the alt-history stuff like Wolfenstein where the nazis have “won” but there are still people out there fighting the good fight even in the face of overwhelming tyranny. Reminds me of some advice my uncle used to give me, it doesn’t if you won it matters most that you fought back.
Zombie Army 4. Zombie nazis. Nazis have already died once. Kill them again
Theres also zombie army trillogy. BTW these run om the same engine and have the same gameplay as sniper elite
Interesting note: Zombie Army is actually a spinoff series from the Sniper Elite franchise. It was originally called Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army, but they dropped the lengthy title when the third Zombie Army game released. There are 4 of them out now.
Sniper Elite focuses on a sniper behind enemy lines during WWII. Despite creating unique stories and events for you to play, its overall setting is somewhat accurate to real life history.
Zombie Army, however, is an alternate history where Hitler released zombies as a final solution when he knew he was losing the war. These are supernatural zombies, as real-life Hitler was obsessed with the occult. No virus plague zombies here.
The two game franchises don’t have much to do with each other, but they started out under the same franchise title.
*himmler was obsessed with the occult. The rest of them thought he was a bit kooky.
Ah, maybe I’m getting my pop media confused with actual history. Hitler is obsessed with the occult in many films and video games.
Classified: France '44 is a tactical turn-based game where you play with allied paratroopers and French resistance to cause mayham in France before the landings of D-day. Basically XCOM but WW2. It’s very well done, and you get to shoot a lot of nazis!
I think the original Red Faction comes close - bad guys are a big corrupt corporation. You are part of a worker revolt iirc. Not sure about the other Red Faction games.
Easy Red II is both cheap, fun and easy to play. Plus it has vehicles.
What I mostly enjoy is thar it takes me a couple of minutes to start playing and it delivers right away.
The cons are mostly the AI is outdated-ish. There’s a mod that improves it though and the devs are constantly adding new stuff.
I’ll second this, Easy Red II is a lot of fun and there’s a huge variety of different theatres, many which don’t get represented often. As stated, updates are regular and genuinely improve the game a lot.
It’s my go-to game to just fire up and start shooting stuff.
Absolute gem. And devs are still cooking.
This looks like a late 2000s game if it were made today, and I mean that as a compliment. I like that they seem to include some aspects of WW2 that are relatively obscure to larger popular media, like the Sino-Japanese war, the German invasion of Greece, and Final days of the German forces in Tunisia.
The cheap price tag definitely makes this a easy pill to swallow too, $10 CAD and not even on sale. Will definitely consider this as a nostalgic medal of honor allied assault spiritual successor
any skins or separate games where we can snipe ICE ?
i am not sure there are any politics to debate , killing nazis is good.
you could try the old.medal of honor or, for a good story but also old- brothers in arms.

Yeah but ut has to be in the context of videogames, or it’s “iNciTiNG viOLeNcE” or some shit.
Hard agree, but there are oftentimes apologists who are summoned from these posts or the people who make the argument that idolizing violence against anyone is abhorrent (nazis have families too!! etc etc), which to an extent I can agree with. However I have two history degrees which has given me insight on many topics, one being that non-violent resistance to true tyranny is a borderline myth. I subscribe to the paradox of tolerance .
I’m proud to say that Lemmy largely does not subscribe to the modern media “all violence is bad” mentality. Everyone with a functional brain knows that’s bullshit. Even the people who supposedly agree with that idea support the police’s use of violence sometimes. The monopoly of violence by the state is just a useful thing they push to keep people in line, and it’s mostly not a thing here.
Good news is fediverse has zero tolerance for that bullshit.
Oh, there would be debate from reddit admins on that one.
Reddit admins would debate shooting videogame Nazis? Wtf? Things going on in GTA aren’t the same?
GTA 7 should be a time traveler, stealing Panzerkraftwagen IV and shoot Nazis.
they usually ban people for even mentioning violence or even INSINUATING IT/inneuendos.
The Saboteur is basically GTA in Nazi occupied Paris…
Man I love how dumb German sounds when you translate it. Tankpowerwagon sounds so much less intimidating.
