  • Adaptation Displacement: few people are familiar with the original Castle Wolfenstein.
  • Demonic Spiders: The mutants, especially in groups of three or more. Mutants do not make a noise when they see you. They can also shoot you as soon as they see you. Every other enemy in the game will make a noise when they see you and take a brief pause before shooting you.
  • Ear Worm: The whole soundtrack is really catchy.
  • Genius Bonus: One of the soundtracks in Episodes 3 and 6 has a Morse Code message in the background:

 TO: BIG BAD WOLF

DE: LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD

ELIMINATE HITLER

IMPERATIVE: COMPLETE MISSION WITHIN 24 HOURS

OUT

  • Goddamned Bats: Literally, in the Lost Episodes of Spear of Destiny. However, as they are pretty much just remodeled mutants, they behave more like Demonic Spiders.
  • Porting Disaster:
    • The SNES port. The disdain that the majority seem to have for it is due to censoring, instead of any major gameplay-affecting factors such as simplified map design or fewer levels, anyway.
    • The GBA port, which was more mangled than the Doom port despite being a less complex game.
  • Seinfeld Is Unfunny: A common complaint of newer reviews (specially the GBA, which had the problems listed above).
  • That One Boss: The Death Knight in Spear of Destiny. It doesn't help that he's surrounded by absolute swarms of regular mooks either.
  • That One Level: Episode 6, level 9 from the original game and levels 16 and 18 from Spear of Destiny qualify.
    • Episode 6, level 7 has a bad reputation as well.
