Wolfenstein 3D is episodic. There are six episodes including ‘Escape from Wolfenstein’, ‘The Dark Secret’, ‘Die Fuhrer, Die’ and ‘Confrontation’, the first one being distributed as shareware. There are ten levels in each episode including 8 maze-like levels, a Boss mode and a secret level. The levels are intricately designed and most of them feature large areas. Players play the role of an American soldier, William “B.J.” Blazkowicz, who escapes from a Nazi stronghold by overpowering the cell guard. In the first episode, BJ has to complete the nine missions and eliminate Hans Grosse and escape to the allied territory. The next episode guides BJ to Operation Eisenfaust where he has to destroy an army of mutants and eliminate Dr.Schabbs. The third episode is the most interesting as players meet Hitler. The objective is to infiltrate a Bunker and terminate Hitler. Other three missions (a.k.a. Nocturnal Missions) let players to go through secret chambers and foil the plan of a chemical warfare waged by Nazis.
The main objective in each level is to eliminate all enemies and reach the exit elevator. Players have to shoot guards, acquire keys and find their way to the elevator. Every level has some kind of a new weapon including pistols, machine guns and Gatling. Gamers have to confront dangerous dogs, Nazi soldiers; SS troopers armed with machine guns and zombie mutants. There are ways to restore health for players injured by enemies. One would probably find food supplies and medical kits to regain health and resume missions.
