Been on a fun little kick playing the Sniper Elite series and the Wolfenstein series and want some suggestions for what can replace it once I run out of campaign missions to do in those games.

While I would love to replay the campaign missions of COD, I ain't paying like $30-60 for a two decade plus old game from EA. While I do prefer shooting nazi nazis, I don't mind suggestions that have you shooting fascists in general.

Not interested in debating politics, just wanna shoot nazis.

    Reddit admins would debate shooting videogame Nazis? Wtf? Things going on in GTA aren't the same?

    GTA 7 should be a time traveler, stealing Panzerkraftwagen IV and shoot Nazis.

    Hard agree, but there are oftentimes apologists who are summoned from these posts or the people who make the argument that idolizing violence against anyone is abhorrent (nazis have families too!! etc etc), which to an extent I can agree with. However I have two history degrees which has given me insight on many topics, one being that non-violent resistance to true tyranny is a borderline myth. I subscribe to the paradox of tolerance .

    Yeah but it has to be in the context of videogames, or it's "iNciTiNG viOLeNcE" or some shit.

    The Saboteur is about an Irishmen killing nazi's in France. Older game but was overall fun. Its like a PS3 era free-roam game.

    You didn't say "shoot Nazis (or fascists)" in shooter games specifically, so I'm going to interpret your question broadly.

    In BioShock Infinite (story-heavy shooter game with some RPG elements), the main villain is some turbo-racist Nazi who runs his own "utopia." The prior releases in the series have you facing objectivist villains, which I guess is Nazi-adjacent.

    In the Jagged Alliance series (a turn-based strategy game), you control a small band of mercenaries fighting a totalitarian dictator. JA2 is a classic, though almost 30 years old by now. JA3 (released in 2023) is a more modern version and a worthy successor.

    Hearts of Iron IV is a strategy game where you can literally fight the Nazis, though much of its dubious player base does the opposite. You won't literally do the shooting though.

    In Skyrim (which I'm guessing you've played already), there is a civil war between two factions that are basically lawful evil Nazis and chaotic evil Nazis. Though Skyrim is thin on story, at least you can decide to kill (almost) everyone.

    One of the factions in Fallout: New Vegas (one of the best first-person shooter RPG's of all time) consists of slave-driving Nazis (as much inspired by ancient Romans as the actual Nazis) called "Caesar's Legion." You can just go to their camp and kill everyone, including "Caesar."

    While I did have shooters in mind, I did leave it open for interpretation for any genre of game!

    Never heard of the Jagged Alliance series before, but I do enjoy my turn based games. I struggle with RTS games, I like to take my time and be methodical. It's on sale right now for quite a bit so I will consider this, seems similar to XCOM.

    All the other games I've played before but are excellent suggestions. HOI4 has become too feature bloated imo, but it is great fun playing as Canada and building the most specialized shock troops of the allies and just shredding holes into the German front lines for the american and british troops to pour though.

    In the spirit of the broad interpretation, I think an argument could be made for This War of Mine, as a resistance against fascism in the idea of surviving as ordinary citizens at all costs. But that is more so anti-war than particularly anti-fascism, although the two often go hand in hand of course.

    Just finished this:

    https://www.gog.com/en/game/saboteur

    It's straight up killing Nazis for about 30 hours of fun SP campaign. You play as a french resistance fighter in paris during WWII. Race cars, make wildly inappropriate innuendos, kill Nazi, rinse and repeat. Has an interesting wanted level mechanic and a stealth system with disguises. Had a few weird bugs but nothing game breaking. 8.5 / 10.

    Yes, you get to punch and kill lots of Nazis too.

    I don’t mind suggestions that have you shooting fascists in general.

    Far Cry 6

    IMO, the ultimate 'killing fascists for catharsis' game. Set in totally-not-Cuba, where a psuedo-communist revolution took place in 1967, leading to a blockade that cut the island off from the rest of the world, but eventually the descendant of one of the pre-revolution leaders was elected president and has steered the country in a full-on fascist direction, backed by foreign investment. You play as a refugee who turns into a badass guerilla insurgent when your escape plan goes bust. And the ultimate aim is to not only kill lots and lots of fascists (and break their stuff, take over their bases), but eventually to kill El Presidente and topple the entire regime. Besides the rank-and-file soldados of the fascist regime, it gives you some very hateable fascist leaders who you'll (for the most part) eventually get to kill in pretty satisfying ways. Oh, and spoiler:

    spoileryou even get to kill a foreign billionaire who's been backing the regime!

    Plus, the whole thing is done well, with gorgeous graphics, a huge and well-detailed open world map, and pretty decent story for the most part. (Only thing that really annoys me about it is that it's autosave-only, and the autosave can be finicky to trigger sometimes.)

    Would definitely recommend; it's one of my favorite games ever. And it's exactly what you're asking for!

    Zombie Army 4. Zombie nazis. Nazis have already died once. Kill them again

  • source
  • hideshow 3 child comments
  • [–] 9 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (2 children)

    Interesting note: Zombie Army is actually a spinoff series from the Sniper Elite franchise. It was originally called Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army, but they dropped the lengthy title when the third Zombie Army game released. There are 4 of them out now.

    Sniper Elite focuses on a sniper behind enemy lines during WWII. Despite creating unique stories and events for you to play, its overall setting is somewhat accurate to real life history.

    Zombie Army, however, is an alternate history where Hitler revived his fallen Nazis as zombies, as a final solution when he knew he was losing the war. These are supernatural zombies, as real-life this Hitler was obsessed with the occult. No virus plague zombies here.

    The two game franchises don't have much to do with each other, but they started out under the same franchise title.

    Far Cry 6, already mentioned but it’s great taking down fascists in very bloody ways. Some of the goofiest and most fun I’ve had with vehicles are the things the Yarans cobble together, like a dune buggy that also flies.

  • [–] 15 points 3 weeks ago

    Farcry 6 is neat, but I like Farcry 5 for this! Curbstomp fundamentalist religious cultists with redneck accents, reclaim the beauty of rural America! Take a break to fish in the majestic waterways of Montana, then go carpet bomb yall'qaeda camps while listening to some chill country/folk! Take a second to admire the breathtaking mountain scenery before hitting the detonator on a mountain of explosives and demolish a hideous fascist monument while parachuting away to safety! This game has ALL the catharsis for you 🤠

    I’d definitely recommend Mouse, P.I. . They don’t wear swastikas on their sleeve, but for how silly the game is they do take steps to show just how organized the Big Mouse Party is about fascism and oppressing minorities. Some of the first villains of the game are an army of cops that happily kidnaps shrews - “lesser” mice - into human trafficking. And you get to melt them with an acid gun.

    Yeah, I have some Nazi-killing games for you.

    • Hearts of Iron 4. RTS set during WW2, covering the whole planet.
    • Dies Irae - Visual novel where magical Nazis from the past show up to ruin things in 2008 Japan.

    As for games that are close to shooting Nazis:

    • Does the Sunrider series count? You fight the Space Soviet Union in that one, so I don't know.
    • Possibly Starcom: Nexus. There are some human supremacist bad guys who show up that want to kill everyone that isn't human.
    • Scarlet Nexus has two factions of fascist bad guys who want to kill each other. You get to fight both.
    • Reverse Collapse Code Name Bakery has you mainly fight fascists led by a crazy man.

    Commandos 2/3 are exquisite for shooting nazis if you don't mind the lack of first person perspective

  • source
  • [–] 8 points 4 weeks ago

    It's definitely a bit old and janky by today's standards, and I can't say it'd hold up well, but Homefront: The Revolution is a decent romp against Nazi-esque NK takeover. Takes place in a pseudo-Philadelphia warzone and has some cool features. Even if it ends up not clicking with you, at least stick around until you can play Timesplitters 2 on the arcade cabinet.
