Wolfenstein 3D and Spear of Destiny game

The biggest issue I had with the previous game was with its level design, as it became more maze-like and designed to have more BS encounters with enemies as the levels went on. The mod changed a lot, but it didn’t change the fundamentals of the game. Speaking of which, let’s get into what the game offers.

While this may be considered unfair considering I did not do the same for Wolf 3D and I don’t really add mods as heavy as this to a ranking, I felt like I needed it to actually get through the whole game based on my experience with the previous one, and I found it pretty easy to focus on what this game offers versus what the mod offers. Because of this, I decided to play the game with the ECWolf mod installed, which for me meant playing the game in wide screen, smooth frame rates, keyboard and mouse controls, and more. There are a few tiny changes and additions here-and-there, and I will touch on them, but none of these changes are anything I would constitute as major changes or improvements worthy of calling this experience a new game. Well, long story short, this game is just an extension of Wolf 3D.

I almost debated including Spear of Destiny in the previous blog because I knew going into this game that this was essentially just a bunch of extra Wolf 3D levels rather than a proper sequel (or for this game, a prequel). The ranking of Spear of Destiny also includes the two mission packs attached to this game: Return to Danger and Ultimate Challenge. The Nazis have stolen the Spear of Destiny to use for nefarious reasons, and it is up to Blazkowicz to stop them. In Spear of Destiny, you once again find yourself in the shoes of B.J. As always, you can find the rank itself at the bottom. While the step from Beyond Castle Wolfenstein to Wolfenstein 3D is huge, the next step from Wolfenstein 3D to Spear of Destiny is actually quite tiny.
