UberSoldier II According
to various sources, Adolf Hilter was interested in the occult and other
mystical powers during his tenure as Germany’s top man. And by various
sources I mean the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark. What if Hitler had
found something that could grant unworldly powers? This is the premise
of ÜberSoldier: the Nazis use powerful technology to raise the dead and
produce powerful soldiers to take on the Allies. But the resistance
gets a hold of an ÜberSoldier and can use it against the Nazi regime!
Oh sweet revenge! You are that rogue ÜberSoldier, bent on shooting as
many Nazis as possible. ÜberSoldier is
just a single player game, a rare and disappointing occurrence in
today’s gaming market. The game is a classic first person shooter with
some minor wrinkles to the action. Since the game takes place at the
end of World War II, ÜberSoldier features World War II-era weapons from
both sides of the European conflict. Your character can hold one
weapons of each type: pistol, rifle, automatic, heavy, and grenade.
Weapons of the game class are essentially the same, so you’ll drop
weapons that you have less ammunition for. ÜberSoldier has the Walther
P38, Colt M1911, Mauser Kar. 98k, SVT-40 sniper rifle, s.Pz.B-41
anti-tank rifle, MP-40, FG-42, StG-44, PPSH-41, M39 grenade, MG-42,
M1918A2, Panzerschrek, Phoenix flamethrower, and others. Reload time is
very slow, which is accurate for the day but disrupts the constant flow
of the game. Each weapon has a specific ammo type, so you’ll end up
using the weapons of the enemies since they’ll be carrying that kind of
ammunition. The game has an arcade health system, where it takes many
shots to kill you (well, you are an ÜberSoldier, after all) as well as
the enemies. This has a couple of exceptions, notably head shots and
grenades. It took around 20 direct shots to kill me, but only one
grenade? Hmm. Once you do get shot, there is a plethora of health packs
littered around the map, clearly indicated on your minimap.
