So, you want to get your Inglourious Basterds on, but you also want some flair added to your classic Wolfenstein 3D? The team behind the latest standalone game inspired by Wolf3D in Blade of Agony has you covered.

Lead by Daniel “Tormentor667” Gimmer, Blade of Agony is described as a story-driven FPS “inspired by WWII shooters from the 90’s and early 2000’s”, but with faster-paced gameplay in the spirit of Doom.

You once again take on the role of Cpt. William “B.J.” Blazkowicz, only this time, B.J. has retired from active duty. But, as these things go, you’re itching for action, and it just so happens that Cpt. Douglas Blake is calling you back to duty. It seems Hitler has become a little too obsessed with human experiments and occult artifacts, and as a result, might have something in store for the Allies.

Far from a simple mod, Blade of Agony sports several modern improvements, thanks to the GZDoom engine:

• 30 playable and unique levels in 3 different chapters (plus secret maps)
• Orchestra-quality game music
• Voice acting and ambient soundscapes
• A combination of low-poly models and hi-resolution sprite assets to create the perfect retro feeling
• Devastating armaments from the battlefields of WWII
• Interactive NPCs that support the twisted plot’s progress and help you understand the game
• Improved enemy AI for more dynamic and challenging fights
• Beautiful special effects (weather, elements, explosions, etc.)
• Modern post-processing shaders (motion & effect blur, noise, flares, etc.)

Best of all, you don’t need the original Wolfenstein 3D to enjoy this one. Simply head on over to the official site, download it, and away you go.
