Combat
Wolfenstein RPG is a role-playing experience that allows you to "level up" your character to become more powerful. Your character can level up by gaining XP (experience points) through killing enemies, accomplishing tasks or finding secrets. Each time your character goes up a level, their base statistics increase making them more powerful. The statistics you have at your disposal in Wolfenstein RPG are:
Health: The amount of damage that can be sustained before dying. The higher your level, the more maximum health you have. You will die once your health drops to zero.
Defense: Your ability to defend yourself against incoming damage. The higher your defense, the less damage you will take.
Strength: Your ability to inflict damage upon your enemies. The higher your strength, the more damage you will do to monsters.
Accuracy: Your ability to land a hit on an enemy. The higher your accuracy, the more like you will hit an enemy and land "critical damage" (twice the normal damage inflicted).
What does "Start Game" do?
Selection of the "Start Game" option allows you to begin a "New Game" or "Continue" a game already in progress.
What does "Options" do?
The "Options" menu allows you alter sound and vibration settings.
How do I progress through each level?
Some levels in Wolfenstein RPG simply require you to find the exit while others require you to accomplish specific goals. Each level is unique and can be returned to as many times as you like. Refer to your "Journal" in the Pause Menu if you are having trouble completing a mission.
How do I do attack enemies or interact with objects?
Use the D-pad or key pad to control your character. Press the center "OK" key (or "5") to interact with your environment (such as Levers or books) or fire a weapon. The (1) and (3) keys can also be used to strafe from side to side.
How do I save my progress?
