The only good nazi is a dead nazi. What games are the best for taking them out?
India Jones and the Great Circle was a good start, and I’m considering Sniper Elite VR for the highly detailed nazi carnage. Wondering what other nazi-killing favorites are out there.
threaded - newest
Wolfenstien
Loved both of the newer ones. Great story and Nazi killing
+1 for both new wolfensteins. so rare for both the action and the story in a game to be top notch
all 3 of em!
There is no 3rd modern Wolfenstein in Ba Sing Sei
old blood don’t count?
It’s a nice bonus but too short the be a full game.
The New Order was mind-blowing when I first played it
Honestly still is. Best FPS since HL2. Love the cutting tool.
Even setting aside all of the gore and cruel executions, BJ’s growling inner commentary is a great mood-setter for that game.
Wolfenstein 2009 is underrated
Oh, the two-pack on PSN is only $7.50 right now. I think I’ll pick it up.
Noice! Ya know I’ve never actually played Wolfenstein haha. But I want to!
They’re good games.
I grow fat on all those chicken dinners on the original.
Ach mein Leben!
The Sniper Elite series is basically nazi-killing porn. Those won’t let you down, especially if you enjoy unplanned testicular detonations happening to nazis of any kind.
I personally enjoy the PLANNED testicular detonations a lot more!
The new entry in the series drops today, my nerd herd plans on doing the co-op campaign this weekend. I played SE4 and had a blast mixing WWII with the stealth aspects of Assassins Creed (the old ones where Ubisoft wasn’t just phoning it in).
I didn’t even know a new one was coming! I love surprises like this. Thanks!
I just hope it’s actually good…
From the trailer it looks like we got a new MC, or atleast the whole game is more french (because your in France).
Going to miss the wonderbread mouth-breathing american tourist in Italy like SE4 had.
As for game-play, they added Souls like invasions in SE5 and they still have the co-op campaign (which is the important part). Beyond that, looks about the same ol’ shooting nazis like we have always had.
Ohh, now I remember why I didn’t buy SE5…
Can that be turned off?
Yah, its optional.
Commandos!
The one by Eidos, where there are “vision triangles” and you have to slowly take out a whole ton of nazis before terminating your objectives in each level.
My favourite is the Beyond the call of duty one.
Bear trap on their path, run back to cover.
ALARM! ALARM!
HASTER LISTER! (or what the f they’re saying)
Did you mean “Ein Verletzter!”?
You’re about to crack a decades old question of mine!
But are you sure 😅
<img alt="" src="https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/58e5503e-caac-472c-b3df-6dd8ce3a2ac7.jpeg">
Oh, messed up that one:
“an injured person”
Thank you ❤️!
I listened to the Commandos voicelines beforehand. So I’m reasonably sure that it’s the vooiceline you meant.
Also a “Verletzter” isn’t a loser, but wounded. Google seems to be drunk and confused again.
Ya, it mixed french and german up in the GUI or something, wounded it is!
Lately I’ve been playing the Rise of the Triade remake, I’m a retro kind of old guy anyways.
Man, I loved that game (the DOS original)! I don’t remember the baddies being Nazis, but it would fit what I do remember from the rest of the game.
Just looked it up (it was originally called “Wolfenstein 3D II: the Rise of the Triad”):
Neat!
Edit: aw, man, quote your sources, ffs!
Ah you know what? I didn’t even realize that. I thought they were Nazis this whole time
i just started another playthrough of company of heroes 1; timeless nazi smashing RTS that’s aged surprisingly well
In my mind the RTS genre hit major twin peaks with SupCom and CoH1. SupCom is the best of its subgenre (massive rts? actually the recent and free Zero-K hits real good in this genre too!) CoH 1 is the top of the Dawn of War family of more tactical RTS.
I haven’t played in a long time, but I recall the story being good. The mechanics though were just so top notch! Great squad controls, not too much micro, vehicles feel really impactful, the nature of control point capture means every skirmish is very dynamic. Ah, what a classic!
holy shit i was playing the fuck out of supreme commander 1; never heard of the game, only played it because it came with my new GPU for free. i had been waiting for starcraft 2 for years and years and when it finally came out i was like wow…supreme commander was better…
If you liked SupCom and want to recapture the magic, do check out Zero-K! It’s free (like actually, no weird micro-transactions) and open source (though buried a bit on the site) It’s based on SpringRTS, which is great to see something cool being done with Spring!
Any game where you can do a texture replacement and fix all of the enemies to have elon's face
Peek a bomb, hide and go trip on a landmine, irl frogger, don't wake der führer, And finally, Candyland Hansel and Gretel edition.
Since the Wolfenstein games were already mentioned: The Saboteur
It aged quite a bit, but there are some nice mods to make it look and handle a bit better on Nexus Mods.
I enjoyed The Saboteur.
That game was so cool!
I’m still sad about Pandemic Studios getting shut down by EA.
The first BloodRayne game (after the intro level, which is plain bad and almost nazi-free) sees a lot of bitten, shot, dismembered, burned, possessed and exploded nazis.
Honestly the gameplay is a bit clunky even for its time, but if what you need is dead nazis then it very firmly ticks the box.
Also remastered: BloodRayne: Terminal Cut
Red Dead Redemption 2.
OK hear me out.
Sure the game’s setting predates the Nazis and there are none to kill in the game. However, there is an entire inexhaustible faction of Confederates to murder. But even better than that, the game gives you several opportunities to stumble on a Klan meeting.
These encounters are special because they’re a sandbox for creative butchery and guiltless massacre. Even the game’s honor system looks the other way while you toss a gallon of liquor onto the burning cross, dousing the Grand Dragon and all his Cyclopses, sending them in a screeching panic, fully engulfed, off a nearby cliff just like that dude in Lord of the Rings.
It also has that one dude on the street in saint denis who
minor side character spoiler
is pushing his eugenics book.
I save my molotovs for that guy and his books
I hogtied him in front of everyone, put him on the back of my horse, rode up to a swamp, and threw him in right in front of a gator
Good times
Also, if you just watch them they accidentally light themselves on fire.
Evey time I run into the RDR2 version of the KKK (Lemoyne Raiders?) I get so giddy and happy that I get the opportunity to find a new, creative, fun way to kill them all.
Probably favorite is to hogtie the ones I can keep alive, toss all the live and dead ones into a single pile, then light it on fire
Lemoyne Raiders aren’t the Klan. There’s actual klansmen too. You have to find them at night in the woods near Lemoyne, but they’re never associated with the raiders.
I could have sworn I got some note off one of the hooded corpses that identified them as Raiders, and nothing actually using the actual KKK name, though it’s so obvious from the hoods and the cross that that’s exactly who they’re intended to be
Spoiler
I love the part when you come across that old man who’s house etc has been repossessed and he wants you to go and retrieve some belongings. I initially I felt sorry for him so of course I went and did it, and then you find out he was a slave trader. I completed the quest anyway and liked the cut scene where Arthur just burns everything. Then before I rode away I shot him in the head and laughed when I saw it made my honour go up
I loved the way that little discovery wrapped up. His body burned real good.
Hide and go seek.
Matthew Crooks Simulator 2025
Bionic Commando
It’s about an army of neo-nazis trying to resurrect Hitler
It’s a platformer but you can’t jump in it, only use a grappling hook
Doesn’t it also end with you literally exploding Hitler’s face?
Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Wolfenstein (2009) for FPS.
Otherwise Company of Heroes (any of the three).
Exploding Nazis is just so much fun :D
Company of Heroes gets my vote. I love having a sniper take out a machine gun nest so my riflemen can rotate the gun 180° and mow down wave after wave of Nazi reinforcements.
Or the 88s in the first mission. BLAM :D
Near the end of the 2nd mission of RtCW you can mow down a horde of Nazis rushing across a bridge with an machine gun. So statisfying.
Hearts of Iron 4 is also fun. You can take on the entire third reictb
Zombie Army Dead War 4
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_Army_4:_Dead_War
You don’t only get to see nazis that are already dead, you can tear them into pieces again and again… It’s really super fun
It’s not fun if the nazis can’t feel it.
ooooooooooooooooooor maybe they do. and they’re dying twice.
Pavlov VR, if you are better than the enemy team that is.
Wolf3D straight up
The Commandos saga. Specially the first one (Behind Enemy Lines).
The original monochromatic Castle Wolfenstein, blowing up Hitler with my buddy and his grandfather who lost family in the camps in Poland will always be a fun memory.
Nazi zombies, it shows them as the monsters they really are.
Well Wolfenstein: The New Order is the other classic to do just that!
cracktorio. there are small, medium, and large swastipods.
Brutal Wolfenstein is a great mod for GZDoom (and free with freedoom). Imagine the original wolfenstein but you get to stain the walls with the blood of nazis. The difficulty is significantly increased, weapons hit harder, and everything is better.
Shadowrun: Dragonfall, it’s only for one mission but it’s a really good one.
What is your obsession with nazis?
No obsession. It’s just that they’re trying to gain power again, and the whole world already slapped them down for it. As a pacifist, it’s cathartic for me to destroy them digitally while we are still at the point where it’s unnecessary for the global masses to take up arms against them once again.
Is it warm under that rock?
Enlisted. It’s kinda terrible but I’m addicted.
BloodRayne Terminal Cut (Steam / GOG)
All time gotta be Wolf ET. No contest. Then BF1942. And my first love RTCW
I should give Wolf ET another go. So many fond memoeries.
I am literally playing it right now for the first time in 12 yrs. ET Legacy is the way.
It hasn’t changed but I suck so bad.
ET Legacy is great. Played it a while ago.
The game hasn’t changed, but same as you I suck so bad. Not a snwoballs chaance in hell I could pull off the shenanigans I did when I was 16.
RtCW
Real RTCW is available on steam for free with a bunch of user-made campaigns (+ other mods) on the workshop, too!
Blow out Hitlers ball in Sniper Elite. Can’t get better than that really. Or can you?
Can you shoot the other one too? Y’know, the one that’s in the Albert Hall
Wolfenstein. Any one of them. There has never been a bad Wolfenstein game.
"Hell Yeah, Dude": The Game would like a word with you.
Dunno what you’re referring to?
Surely you must have forgotten that this one exists too.
I played it. It was enjoyable enough. It’s certainly not the best Wolfenstein, but just because it’s less good than the others doesn’t make it BAD.
Wolfenstein: Youngblood would like a word
Just because it’s the least good Wolfenstein doesn’t make it BAD. It was still quite a lot of fun to me.
Hearts of iron 3 and 4, Wolfenstein gets a bit lost in glorifying their aesthetic but is very fun
Steel Division 2 and Hearts of Iron 4.
Bionic Commando. Love love love to shoot Hitler in his doughy, laughable master race face with a rocket launcher through the window of a fucking helicopter as I fall past it.
Metro 2033 and Last Light.
But those are the only games I have with nazis in them.
Well… There is that one nazi in Killing Floor 2…
Return to Castle Wolfenstein VR port by Team Beef. It’s amazing.
The Saboteur
Did some tinkering to get this working on my Linux pc last year. Only played a few hours, but seemed like a fun game (and who doesn’t love fucking up some Nazis?)
Do you remember what you needed to do for it to work?
There was some kind of high resolution patch, I think? Try googling “the sabateur resolution patch”. I remember there being some jank at first, but once I got it tweaked it worked just fine.
Honestly, I don’t remember specifically, sorry. Have you tried GE Proton?
I should try this again on pc and see if it works. The game also had a tits dlc on consoles if I remember correctly but it was included in pc version? lol
I’ve been replaying it a bit on Steam Deck and it plays and looks good.
Gonna stray a bit from the other games mentioned here for the sake of adding something unique.
It’s not your traditional nazis per say, but the half life series fits quite nicely with this urge. The combine are genocidal, totalitarian, they use shit loads of propaganda, etc. They don’t have the looks of it, but they’re clearly the nazi type.
Indiana Jones and the great circle lets you kill fascists and nazis iirc, it’s a good game and a good Indiana Jones story.
Well, Machine Games other recent titles are pretty good in that regard, and every other regard.
I enjoy me a good HoI 4. Less visceral, but I get to kill them by the company instead.
It’s fun to watch the Nazis lose territory, until they aren’t and suddenly America and Russia are both Fasc and I’m just crying trying to keep my people happy enough to be willing to go to war
America.
Real life
.
Don’t let your dreams stay dreams
I came here exclusively to reiterate.
The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.
I don’t know if anything really tops Wolfenstein TNO. Right from the get-go you’re running through a trench dual-wielding machine guns and just shredding Nazis like you’re mowing grass. Plus you can personally stomp Hitler’s face in! 10/10 experience.
The New Colossus was released during Trump’s first term and it was really cathartic to play during the shit storm. The game even pissed off the “alt-right.” The New Order and The Old Blood are much better at “endless destruction of Nazis” though.
Might be time to reinstall and play through them again.
Honestly, never tried the newer Wolfenstein games. This sounds amazing!
This is weirdly far down. Wolfenstein is the definitive Nazi killing experience.
Aaand it’s -75% on Gog. 'Mazing!
Been playing quite a bit of the saboteur lately. Its a great game.
What a weird question, just mod nazis into whatever killing game you enjoy the most
Not the same. That’s like killing the actors who played nazis in movies.
Vs killing the actors playing Nazis in a different game?
Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army 1/2/3 or however many there are. Granted they’re zombies, but still solid
Can we not let “politics” infect this community please ?
That being said, Wolfenstein: the new colossus is the one I reccommend
I don’t think hating Nazis should be considered a political statement.
What were Nazis then ??
Just pointing out something that, certain Communities should avoid political talk wholesale (Not that I would call those punks politically savvy)
There’s a community dedicated to that There’s a reason why you all came to Lemmy
Won’t anyone think of the poor Nazis‽ lol
I’m literally thinking of different ways to kill Nazis…in minecraft
Love me some interrobang
Interrobangs always make it look like the text renderer is bugging out, at least to me.
The Nazi ideologi is a dictatorship. Dictatorships aren’t political. The word political in it’s most basic form means “making decisions in a group”. A dictatorship doesn’t do that. They do participate in democratic politics only because that is the existing system and they want to dismantle that.
“Fight the Nazis” could be a political statement, because it happens within a political system and urges the system to take action politically, but it is not a statement that picks a political side. Both extreme left and extreme right politics should be against Nazis, because Nazis want to destroy all politics, including both sides and everything in between.
So, sure, its a political statement, but it’s not a statement that can upset anyone politically.
The only people who can object against hating Nazis are Nazis themselves.
So… you’re calling me a Nazi ? Now I get why people want to stay away from politics
While no one disagrees with hating on Nazis, Behaving like one won’t gain you any internet points
Most of us here on lemmy want to escape from all those “Political Hobbyists” infecting everything & talk about non-political stuff safely There’s an entire community dedicated to political talks
This was the key to his statement and I agree with him.
Video games need to generate acceptable targets. Aliens invading people’s homes, PMCs controlled by powerful men, thugs and looters looking to beat up whoever they find, etc.
But it’s ridiculous anyone would post “Hey! If aliens did come to our world to take control of our governments, they would be sorely offended by video games about killing them!” On one level because aliens don’t exist. On the other because if they were coming to take control of our governments, why would we want to protect or respect them?
Now, replace the little green men with discriminatory, media-controlling purveyors of hate speech. They exist. Everyone sane would rather they didn’t. That’s all.
Ok
I said that Nazis are not political. I don’t care if and I didn’t state whether you are one or not, but you can’t argue that anti-nazi statements should be disallowed for being political, because Nazis are not within a political spectrum.
In set theory, Nazis are simply not in the set that the rule is describing.
Here’s a Wikipedia article on the subject. Nazis still exist today (as neo-Nazis) and they desperately want hating them to be a matter of political opinion instead of a matter of humanity. Don’t give them that.
Ok
All they can do is reply Ok while they downvote your valid opinion, because anything else they say will reveal how much it upsets them that people hate nazis and their supporters.
lolol
/whoooosh
Killing Nazis in a video game for fun shouldn’t be confused with “politics.” Doing the same in real life only is because they’re a political party.
Gamer moment
the various COD Black Ops with Nazi Zombies…
MOHAA
Helldivers but only when you kill teammates
… which is completely normal and tolerated.
I’m offended you endorse political violence against my people.
Never mind what I’m going to do to your people once we’re in power.
You okay? Do you need help? Please seek it!
Explain.
Nazism is a sickness and you should get help with getting rid of it.
Metal Gear Solid 3. Close enough right?
That game gave me my very first migraine 😂
Why a migraine?
Battlefield 1942, especially with the Battlegroup 42 mod.
You didn’t mention what platform but all of the Sniper Elite games are on Gamepass including the literally just released Resistance.
I enjoyed return to castle Wolfenstein when it came out and competitively played Enemy Territory for years and even made a mod for it. I have no idea how it would hold up today, however
Enemy Territory is still very much alive.
Call of Duty World at War
In Command and Conquer: Red Alert and it’s sequel all the nazis have already been erased from history by Albert Einstein’s time machine…
But the USSR in the games conquered Europe and is cartoonishly evil so they’re fun to fight.
Also they corrupted Tim Curry in RA3 so they deserve it.
You are just upset that he has escaped to the one place that hasnt been corrupted by capitalism…SPAYSHEH

This is an old game series, but it was proof that you could put as much blood and gore into a game as you wanted and still get a Teen rating in the US, as long as you’re just killing/dismembering Nazis.
BloodRayne. There’s a “cheat” to change a few of the visual effects. One makes her put all her weapons where she is actually storing them, and shows the unused weapons at all times. One makes the blood spray levels "more accurate to the actual amount of blood in the human body. The last one just makes her boobs bouncier.
You know Call of Duty started out as killing nazis on the Quake engine. I don’t remember really liking them but it’s there
Sniper Elite lol! Love that damn game. Someone out there had the job programmin nazi-nutsacks, and they took their job serious. Such loving attention to destructive detail. i never once got tired of explodin them in slow motion from 500 yards. What a hero
Something about slow mo shooting hitlers one testicle with xray vision with a sniper rifle just makes the day seem brighter.
arma3 has some really good hyper realistic dynamic campaigns with high replay value, for endless nazi killing fun.
