Wolfenstein unveils a scenario, where Nazi army is present in countries around the world enforcing its totalitarian regime. They spread their propaganda and punishment for the lack of obedience. William Blazkowicz, who was previously captured is now fighting this world. His revenge is not like that of other heroes. It is more mechanical. It is the first person shooter games with all its powers, such as the inability to subdue him with tranquilliser.

As he becomes part of the resistance, he becomes a killing mating that resembles action in killing games and gun games that confronts and engage through the entire game. It is almost a war game, but conducted through stealth and almost automatically, as Blazkowicz keeps shooting and destroy Nazis. He is almost robotic if not for strategies and tactics that he employs. With their increasing threat he develops combat abilities.
