Gameplay is similar in nature to the franchise's original formula, but with a decidedly modern spin. The narrative is smartly interwoven with the levels, and it remains fresh and entertaining throughout. Besides shooting Nazis and other human enemies, players will encounter a slew of paranormal creatures and biological experiments. Overall, the story is a fun mixture of military action and sci-fi. Working for a government agency known as the Office of Secret Actions, Blazkowicz tries to learn more about the evil General Deathshed and his range of paranormal experiments. Players once again take on the role of BJ Blazkowicz, who embarks on military missions to take down the Nazi machine. Return to Castle Wolfenstein takes the same setting and tone of the original game, but amps it up in some fun ways.
Taken prison and kept locked up by the Nazis, BJ breaks free and goes on a killing rampage as he escapes from the prison.
Set during World War II, the game followed soldier BJ Blazkowicz. The story of Wolfenstein 3D was appropriately simple, given the time the game came out.
