Darkenstein 3D - retro-inspired FPS tribute to Wolfenstein and Doom - gortex - 10-05-2025

It's WWII and you play as "Hobo Guy" on a mission to rescue your pet dog from the Nazis , Darkenstein 3D is a homage to Doom and Castle Wolfenstein taking players back to 90s era FPS games where skill and fun were the priority not DEI or messaging , so if you've played those games this may be right up your street , there's a free demo on Steam ahead of the game's free to play release on October 21, 2025.

Quote:The story of Darkenstein 3D centers on the "Hobo Guy," a furious American drifter who, after his loyal dog, Gunther, is snatched by Nazis during a raid, embarks on a bloody, retro-FPS revenge mission. Battling through Nazi-controlled bunkers, castles, and diverse landscapes, the Hobo Guy uncovers hidden alien secrets and bizarre, powerful abilities on his quest to retrieve his companion. 




"Gibs and frags" , it's all Nazis understand.

Ha ha, I played the 90s version of Castle Wolfenstein.  I enjoyed the occasional views of the Alps out the windows!

Doom was more advanced but somehow didn't interest me as much.

I played the demo which is the prologue that lasts about 30 minutes , it's very much Wolfenstein or perhaps the sequel Return to Castle Wolfenstein with Nazis and dogs to shoot , gold bars to pick up , food to eat and secrets to be found , looking forward to the full release for some more dumb Hobo slayer fun.

That looks Sauerkraut'en tasty.

Wish I could go back in time and play Doom and Castle Wolfenstein for the first time.  Love it

 Later 90s I was writing new custom levels for Doom LAN parties. Damn, those were the days!!

Darkenstein 3D has been released and is available for the super low price of free , on Steam.

Quote:A retro shooter inspired by classics like Wolfenstein and Doom. Think of it as a tribute, a love letter to the games that defined a generation, with a few modern touches of my own.
It’s tough, fast, and demands skill, just the way those old-school shooters did.




Quote:My name's Roger Creus and I'm a digital artist from Barcelona, Spain.
I'm also a musician and a noob game developer.
In the last years I've been working a lot with 3D tools and I've been wanting to make games for a long time. Last summer I started looking at game engines and finally stuck with Unity.
Found a nine hour course on how to create a game similar to Wolfenstein 3-D, and I took it way far... so here we are, 10 months later about half the game is done. Hopefully the second half will be easier as most of the mechanics are down now. ^.^'
At this point I see this as the ultimate art form. I can make the music, the art, the programming... it's some exciting stuff!
Looking forward for what's to come.
See you around!
