Kind of a problem how nazis in WW2 games are quite different from the wannabe-fascists and fascists of today. Makes it not work for me as a safety valve.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein with RealRTCW mod.
Fallout 2, Fallout 3, and Fallout NV the Nazis may have a different coat of paint but a fascist is a fascist regardless of what face they wear. Weirdly doesn't apply to Fallout 1 since I think Unity would fall under weird form of Authoritarian Transhuman Collectivism, fuck I've started talking theory. In summary kill Enclave and Blòt the Romaboo larpers!
Is it bad that the Enclave is my second favorite faction besides the NCR?
The enclave as a concept of just fascinating. That is another one of my alt-hist (and occasionally irl too) fascinations, is old-government remnants and what do they do? FEDRA in The Last of Us is another one, technically the last remnant of the old USA order, but functionally has degenerated into just another authoritarian faction in the apocalypse. Arguably the Brotherhood of Steel counts too, remnant of the old world US military.
As for IRL, Taiwan is a remnant of the old chinese government before the communists took the mainland, and Belarus actually has 3 governments right now -- the one currently in power , functionally a puppet to Putin/Russia, the transitional government formed abroad in 2022 hoping to replace the puppet government once given the chance, and hosted in Ottawa for over 100 YEARS is the original exiled government of Belarus from the Communist revolution in the 1910s.
Medal of Honor Allied Assault, Call of Duty series
Boy, back in early 2000s there some many choices, Medal of Honor, og Call of Duty, Wolfenstein, WWII series, History Channel games...
I would recommend just brutally murdering your way through the rainbow of right wing nutjobs in MANHUNT. It does have guns, but ammo is sparse, it's not a shooter, at first.
Indiana Jones, you hit them over the head with a spade and somehow this made me flinch more than mowing 200 of them down
Got immense satisfaction playing this game last year for exactly this reason
That is an absolutely terrible vantage point. Totally exposed to fire. If you're gonna fight Nazis, don't give them an easy shot.
seriously, only one side is blocked and if the sun is the wrong angle dude casts an obvious shadow.
the Wolfenstein comes to mind
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.
i am not sure there are any politics to debate , killing nazis is good.
you could try the old.medal of honor or, for a good story but also old- brothers in arms.
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 .
not interested in debating politics. Just want to shoot Nazis
That made me cry a little. So beautiful.
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.
Bloodrayne. Hot sexy vampire chick that slices up Nazi scum with arm blades? Teenaged me thought that was THE SHIT.
Undead nazis, free to play pased on wolfenstein engine
Wolfenstein 3D
MEIN LEBEN!
MY LIFE! (when playing the bizzaro-world version in TNO)
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.
Not interested in debating politics, just wanna shoot nazis
I saved this thread just because of this. Also, your taste in games is magnificent
I bought my first sniper elite game the same week after Charlie Kirk got shot
If you wanna shoot Nazi’s, you’ll fit in real nice in Wolfenstein: The New Order.
If you emulate the original bionic commando, you get to blow up Hitler's preserved head in gory detail
Also cod isn't ea.
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."
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 can explode 4 to 6 nazi testicles with one shot in the Sniper Elite games. That alone is proof that video games are art.
Sniper Elite 4. I would reload a save if I wiffled my Nazi nut shot.
Added bonus, Hitler DLC in most of them with a wide array of ways to murder him for the discerning Nazi killer.
There's an achievement for shooting Hitler in the balls IIRC.

India Jones and the Great Circle - I don't have the hardware to play it, but I have read great things (including a pretty good story if you like the old movies.).
Yes, you get to punch and kill lots of Nazis too.
Wait a few years and you won't even need a computer to play that game.
I played this one. Commandos, back in the 90s
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:
spoiler
you 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!
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.
The Saboteur is fairly old at this point, but still holds up gameplay-wise.
Blade of Agony is an excellent Doom standalone mod, and it’s free!
Zombie Army 4. Zombie nazis. Nazis have already died once. Kill them again
