Splitwolf: It's time to tag team some Nazis
We're proud to announce that Splitwolf is now available on RetroPie! That's right, you can frag Nazis with up to 4 players on the big screen.
Full game controller support
Splitwolf has been moved to SDL2 and has support for tons of game controllers, with many improvements:
Supports
Enhanced keyboard and mouse controls
New game modes
In addition to co-op classic Wolfenstein 3D gameplay, Splitwolf brings 9 new game modes:
Instagib
You have only one life, but your weapons only take one shot to kill. Watch out, because so do the enemy's weapons!
Defuse the bomb
A bomb is spawned somewhere in the level, players must find and defuse it before time runs out, only then will the elevator unlock!
Carry the Flag
One player must carry the flag to the end of the level before the time runs out. You can't shoot when you have the flag, but you can impale Nazis with it or pass it to your friend with the use key!
Vampire
Drink the blood of your enemies to survive! Spawn with all weapons and infinite ammo and try to finish the level before your blood bar drains.
Harvester
Harvester pillars are placed randomly around the level, and after each kill, a skull is spawned on the pillars. You must find a pillar and collect the skull before the countdown ends to stay alive!
Mutant BJ
All of your enemies are zombie BJs with random weapons!
Rampage
Put your dukes up and knock your enemies out with fists of fury! Keep your adrenaline up to instagib enemies with one punch.
Zombie
Nazi zombies are attacking! Kill them by ganging up on them with shots from multiple players, otherwise they reanimate!
Zombie Harvester
Just like harvester, but with Nazi zombies that reanimate for an added challenge.
New weapons
Splitwolf brings the pain with an armored vehicle equipped with a mounted gatling gun!
Tons of new art
From 8-way boss sprites to gib animations, Splitwolf brings a ton of new art that fits perfectly with the existing look of the game
Installation
If you already own Wolf3D or Spear of Destiny, dump all the files loosely into roms/ports/wolf3d/
After installation, you'll be able to launch Splitwolf from the Ports menu in EmulationStation.
Game data
Game files should be added to roms/ports/wolf3d/ before installation. If not present, the install script will download the shareware versions of Wolf3D and Spear of Destiny.
If you add new game data after install, simply run the following to create new shortcuts:
