A game that says exactly what it means

A new Steam FPS called Too Many F*cking Nazis was announced last week, and yes, the title is as subtle as a brick through a window. The store page does not waste time with nuance either: “Time traveling Nazis have taken over the world,” it says. “No one seems to care. Guess it’s up to you. Use inventive weapons. Craft unique builds. Kill them all.”

In other words, the pitch is clear. The game wants you to do violence to Nazis using an assortment of increasingly unserious tools, and it does not appear especially interested in moral ambiguity, literary restraint, or any other qualities that would slow the thing down.

The weapons list gets progressively sillier

The store page’s examples of player kills include:

  • Hit in the head with a smartphone
  • Given the finger
  • Kicked
  • Kicked to death
  • Shot with a Luger
  • Shot with a shotgun, single barrel
  • Shot with a shotgun, double barrel
  • Shot with a Tommy gun
  • Swiss cheesed by an LMG
  • Exploded with a bazooka
  • Pulverized with an abnormally large soccer ball
  • Shot with heat-seeking bees

That is a strong signal that the game is aiming for comic-book absurdity rather than anything remotely dignified. Which, given the premise, is probably the point.

Steam’s community forums did what Steam’s community forums do

The game’s announcement was not greeted by a calm exchange of thoughts and feelings. Instead, the Steam community forums responded in the deeply online way they so often do: by attracting a crowd of furious culture warriors who treated the page like a personal grievance filing cabinet.

A few of the posts doing the rounds include:

  • “my wifes boyfriend LOVES this game” and its related cuck joke energy
  • Demands to know when players can get Too Many F*cking Commies?
  • Requests for “black, Asian, or disabled Nazis” to kill alongside the white ones
  • A plea to report games that “call for irl violence,” while arguing that “Nazi” has become “a slur that's thrown around constantly at conservatives, White people, right-wingers or anyone who isn't fully on board with progressive stuff”

There were plenty more where that came from, but Steam user Doldrums managed to compress the whole mess into one thread title: “Lotta mad nazis.” Efficient, if not especially delicate.

The developer says it is still early

A comment from the developer on the forums adds a little practical context. The game is still in an early stage, and much of the footage shown so far comes from test environments populated with basic enemies. The team also says it plans to add more variety, including more diversity in the sizes and shapes of the Nazis players will be able to kick, flip off, shoot, blow up, or otherwise eliminate with bees.

So the current state of play is simple: the game is early, the footage is limited, and the forum reaction has already become its own minor sideshow. A classic Steam launch, really, except with more time-traveling Nazis than usual.

The broader trend is not exactly subtle either

This kind of thing is not happening in a vacuum. The article also points to Nekome: Nazi Hunter, a higher-budget Nazi-killing game that looks like a lighter blend of Sifu and Hitman. That one features hand-to-hand combat, stealth takedowns, and a lot of very bloody knife work. Its Nazis are the familiar World War II variety rather than time travelers, but the underlying appeal is similar: catharsis, spectacle, and an invitation to be spectacularly unkind to people wearing the wrong uniform.

That broader trend matters because video games used to be drenched in World War II settings to the point of fatigue. These days, a game that gleefully offers up Nazis for mass destruction feels more deliberate than default. Whether you find that reassuring, childish, or just very Steam is probably a matter of taste.

Either way, Too Many F*cking Nazis is not trying to hide its intentions. It is a game about killing Nazis with absurd weapons, and its community forums have already provided a useful public service by confirming that the title was, in fact, enough to cause a predictable amount of online distress.
