Prologue Trailer[]
On a battlefield, Captain America charges towards an oncoming tank and dismantles it with his shield. A large battalion of soldiers and another tank appear on the horizon, and Rogers charges them head on, deflecting their attacks with his shield and attacking them with his enhanced combat skills. Once he defeats them, he is fired at by three Scorchers. He blocks their attack with his shield until Bucky Barnes and Dum Dum Dugan come to his aid and the three of them rally against oncoming HYDRA troops.
At Castle Zemo, Arnim Zola and Baron Strucker observe the battle on a screen. Strucker informs Zola that the mission has been accomplished and that they no longer need to concern themselves with finding Rogers, as he will be coming to them. Red Skull is pleased to hear this news.[1]

Plot[]
The game begins in France in 1944. The two U.S. soldiers are attacked by HYDRA forces. Captain America arrives to save them and manages to fend them off before contacting Howard Stark with regards to the new threat.
While in communication with Peggy Carter, Captain America learns that the munitions recovered from the battle came from the mountains of Bavaria based on the rare metal used. Captain America is briefed on Project Master Man and how Dr. Arnim Zola has unlocked the secrets of the human genome as one step towards immortality. He drops down in a village near the castle and disables anti-air forces so that the Invaders can enter the village. He then proceeds towards the armory in order to destroy the weapons before they are sold to the Nazis. Having reported to Peggy that the Invaders are clear to drop, James Montgomery Falsworth questions whether all the guns are destroyed just as a radio dish and a hidden cannon emerge which Captain America identifies as more of Arnim Zola's dangerous machines. Unable to reach the cannon in time, he heads to the building housing the radio dish, encountering more and more of HYDRA led by Baron Wolfgang von Strucker.
Captain America plants charges along the steel support beams of the radio dish tower to destroy it when Strucker intercepts Captain America, engaging in a fist fight. The radio dish is destroyed, but the cannon still hits one of the wings of the plane carrying the Invaders. Fortunately, they all parachute out in time. Strucker surprises Captain America and manages to knock him unconscious as they both fall from the exploding tower.
Captain America is then taken to Zola's lab by Iron Cross and sees Madame Hydra give orders for an analysis of Captain America's shield. After a brief talk of how his blood was taken, Zola shows his new project involving more test subjects containing the Super Soldier Serum from the Captain's blood. Zola "allowed" the Captain to live only to study Captain America's skills. He shortly breaks free and proceeds through the base to destroy the samples of Zola's experiments for an army of Super Soldiers, dispatching Hydra troops and making his way to a radio to contact Peggy Carter. He learns that some of his friends are being held near his present location. Captain America recovers his gear and proceeds to free Bucky Barnes, who informs him of other P.O.W.s in the base, giving Captain America a radio communicator to keep in touch while Bucky gets them to a train. As he makes his way to rescue Dum Dum Dugan and Falsworth, Zola's experimental Super Soldiers escape.
Captain America manages to find Dugan strapped to an examination bed in the middle of a brawl with Hydra forces. After freeing him, he pursues Madam Hydra who has taken Falsworth. He catches up to her and in the exchange, Madam Hydra's face is burned when Captain America throws the shield at a munitions pile. She flees, but he does not follow, instead pursuing Red Skull, having just arrived with the Tesseract, intending to use it to activate the Sleeper. Captain America uses a train to enter Zola's special lab where he is building the Sleeper. Red Skull arrives wanting the upgraded Super Soldier serum Zola synthesized from the Captain's blood. Captain America follows and destroys the sample, enraging Red Skull who orders Iron Cross to kill him. Captain America defeats Iron Cross and pursues Skull, only for the Sleeper to awake and crumble the lab. Zola escapes and activates a robot body for a later use. Captain America awakens and finds a map of his location, using it to locate Falsworth.Having finally located Falsworth, Zola's robot arrives and attempts to kill Captain America. After defeating the Zola Bot, he frees Falsworth as Zola's voice is heard taunting them. Falsworth reveals that something big is underground that not even the planes can stop. Captain America states that he will go down below to stop the weapon while the others try to stop it with mortars and air strikes. He also states that when the evacuation plane comes, they should meet up with it, with or without him.
Captain America makes his way to the courtyard to confront the Sleeper which shoots down one of the airplanes. With Dugan's help, he manages to destroy the Sleeper. Upon escaping the exploding castle, Captain America rendezvous with Barnes, Dugan, and Falsworth.
In the post-credit, Arnim Zola unplugs from his defeated Zola Bots. Red Skull orders him to get back to work, stating that they will be seeing Captain America again soon enough.

Continuity[]
Much like the rest of the Phase One video games, this one is deemed non-canon due to its many differences to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and especially the film it is based on. A key difference is the structuring of HYDRA which has characters like Baron Strucker and Madame Hydra despite those two being heads of HYDRA in the 21st Century in the MCU. Additionally, Strucker possesses the Satan Claw and his own armor in the game.
As a main plot point in the game, the Sleeper is activated while in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., the Sleeper Mechs are instead used by General Hale. In some versions of the game, Bucky Barnes dies in the Arctic ocean while in the film, Barnes seemingly dies in the Austrian Alps. Notably in the Java ME version, Captain America does not sacrifice himself and instead continues his tour after World War II.
