NecroVisioN preview, site launch
Developer 1C has launched a site for the upcoming PC game “NecroVisioN” at www.necrovision-game.com. I played a preview of this game at last year’s 1C press preview event, and now seems a good time to share my impressions:
NecroVisioN is a World War I shooter that has horror and fantasy elements. As the game begins, the gamer takes on the role of an American soldier battling Germans.
Soon, though, the game takes a supernatural turn. A war between vampires and demons is spilling to the surface, and your character must fight to save humanity.
The game was visually impressive and action-packed in the preview I played. The design is suitably scary, and the effects were well-done. A nice twist in gameplay allows the gamer to play with a weapon in each hand, if the weapon can be wielded one-handed.
Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft, the game melds horror and military adventure. Look for more on NecroVisioN as the release nears.

Moscow, February 4, 2009 – 1C Company and Aspyr have today unveiled a website – www.necrovision-game.com- for upcoming horror FPS NecroVisioN, the game that sees players crawling through the trenches of World War One straight into the jaws of Hell. NecroVisioN is launching exclusively on PC in Spring of 2009.
Fans looking for a classic old-school FPS experience can use the website to uncover more information about the B-movie style plot of NecroVisioN. Why are the dead rising from their graves? How did a mad German scientist build a huge robot in 1917? What is the mysterious war between vampires and demons? The answers to all these questions and more, can be found within the different pages of the site.
Alongside details about the plot, the site also contains a range of screenshots from NecroVisioN, exclusive videos of the game in action and wallpaper for gamer’s desktops. Plus, there’s also a forum where players can chat about their tactics for disposing of the undead with other zombie hunters.
NecroVisioN is a fast-paced and furious first-person shooter from The Farm 51 that blends historical detail with horror and alternative reality. Players are put in the shoes of Simon Bukner, an American soldier, who decides to help the British effort to take out the German threat. But that’s only the start of his troubles and Bukner soon realizes that there’s something far more terrible stirring in the trenches: a string of hideous beasts and demons.
