Darkenstein 3D

Darkenstein 3D is a retro first-person shooter set in 1940s Germany, where you play as the Hobo Guy, an American drifter trapped behind enemy lines. After a Nazi raid takes your loyal dog, Gunther, you fight through enemy fortresses to rescue him. The search also leads you to alien secrets, strange powers and hidden horrors in a world ravaged by war.

Combat and companions

You face Axis forces with a shotgun and rely on movement, precise aim and quick thinking to survive. Enemy projectiles can be dodged, but there are no cover mechanics or aim assist. A vicious rat companion lunges at enemies in close quarters; you can combine its attacks with grenades and mines.

Levels and secrets

The campaign has 13 handcrafted levels that steadily raise the stakes. Explore castles, caves, valleys and desert towns, unlocking doors with hidden keys, finding secrets and treasure, and pushing your score higher.

Destruction

Explosive gore, ragdoll physics and debris-filled firefights shape the battles. Shots send enemies flying, splattering or collapsing as the battlefield crumbles around you.
