The amount of negative reviews that this game is getting is, to be frank, simply unpatriotic and a disservice to all prospective buyers looking for a solid cheap game to play. Now before I get into this, you can't expect it to be a Cyberpunk 2077. No doubt about it. This is a game that flew under the radar when it was released 15 years ago. HOWEVER, for less than $1 on sale when bundled with it's sequel it's one hell of a bang for your buck (literally). I can't vouch for those who are saying they can't get the game to run or that it's too filled with bugs to play. I'm on Windows 10, and aside from the game crashing at times when I alt+tab into another program, I have run into 0 issues getting the game to run or while playing. For reference I just finished chapter 6 at the time of this review. The gameplay is genuinely some of the most fun I've had when playing a FPS campaign, and I play a lot of them. The developers manage to walk a very fine line with Necrovision, blending the faster paced gameplay of run n' gun style games (i.e. Doom, Serious Sam, or perhaps most appropriately, Painkiller) with the more precise shooting required in standard FPS war games (i.e. Call of Duty or Medal of Honor). While I'm sure this line has been walked better several times since 2009, having a fast paced shooter where you can still use Iron Sights in at this point in time wasn't common. And to boot, I think it holds up phenomenally. There is a large selection of enemy types, a large selection of weaponry, and it feels like you can tackles shootouts using a combination of many different weapons (rather than being pigeonholed into using certain guns for certain enemies). Finally, it's nice to see a fast a fun paced game set in WWI. You very rarely see WWI based FPS aside from hardcore simulations due to the slow firing rate and poor war tactics (gotta love bunker warfare). This game manages to turn "WWI" into a fun experience to play through...well sorta. While it starts in WWI where you are facing the dastardly Germans, it slowly turns into a game where you will mostly be killing Zombies, Vampires, and various sorts of other demons as you traverse through not only a hellish version of pre-nazi Germany, but also through hellscapes crafted by demons for demons. One complaint I saw, that I can kind of understand is the Time to Kill certain enemies can be long. They do have weakspots, and this is something that games like Gears of War are praised for so as far as I'm concerned it's a moot point. My only real complaint is some of the levels are way too dark. If you like FPS games you will not be disappointed! For $5 dollars it's worth every penny. But I'm sure it will be on sale for under a dollar again soon. Ignore the negative reviews, and if you run into launch errors or game breaking bugs just refund it.

Buy it when on sale Why because it’s one of those game that you either hate it or love it Why then I recommend this game because there is fun to be had with an incredible amount of problems Deception of the game is accurate "battlegrounds of World War I and into a dark underworld of vampires, demons and dark magic." How do the developers pull it off? Simple by genre switching to the point of what felt they mix in other game they were developing at that point together Is it good you wonder? Hard to say just read the other review on Steam to get the idea For example, motion sickness somehow all enemies especially when the vampires show up, all run up to you and melee in all directions even the one with guns that makes your screen violently shake During mid game all enemies move faster even the big one and they all felt like a bullet sponge The list of genres change here Standard action movies where everything and everyone die as soon you meet them and there is the player character who is supposed to be the regular solider (Medal of Honor) Surviving a zombie apocalypse in a retro sci fi setting as bj blazkowicz (Wolfenstein) Vampire, ghost, Wolfenstein style monsters all run up to you for the melee attack (FPS Melee) The force of hell is here you are the chosen one, one men army your way to defeat the devil himself (Doom or Painkiller) Do the developers pull it off? Best if you make up your mind You the player collect an arsenal of weapons there is 14 I believe but after acquiring the claw and vampire weapons which there is only 4 in total all ammos for everything else don’t show up. That’s when this game turn into a boomer shooter but the devs don ‘t remove the previous weapons, and the movement had not increased as such you be stuck melee most of the time since all the enemies at that point is fast only even the big one But the melee is really just keep meshing the attack button there is combo, but its too slow to be effective since it is bases on how many you kill To make the problem worse the gun you got don’t do enough damage to kill anything in one shot without self-damage The level design as state before feeling like a mix of other game the developers were creating at the time Movement speed felt just right on early levels however as the game continues it start to scale up a lot as in one area in later level is bigger then 2 to 3 levels from early game I appreciate the developers try something new for their game but none of it felt finished like the grim darkness of WW1 with steampunk technology is gone after the vampires show up, the take cover aim, and shoot don’t work since enemies run up to you when they got a chance and the guns lack impact The vampire weapons don’t have aim down sight as such it turns into run and gun but instead of increasing the players speed the enemies speed got increased as in, they all move about the speed of Doomy guy The game at that point turn into Doom or Quake with the focus of horror There is a story and world building which is quite good, but the main character is written like Duke Nukem where he is there to shoot bad guy and shout out one liner that keeps interrupting during most of the story telling. As if the devs have this awesome idea for the world but never get developed Then genres change again you fight hundreds of demons in hell but it’s too dark to see and the enemies is too dark to see as well also they move even faster Then you get to fight the devil he is a bullet sponge with 2 attacks So yes, if you manage to read the whole thing instead of skipping this review then do think about if you want to get this game

The game is good as always, but you can't do without reservations. The publisher has done a lot of work on all fronts. I am absolutely dissatisfied with the fact that the publishing company managed to cut out the content (Corny Sounds has only recordings of replicas of the plot "Voiceovers" and nothing more. Among other things, I was annoyed by the broken Intro of the game itself, where the hell did they decide to spoilerize the entire gameplay? Among other things, plot films without sound are a solid slide show (I got angry after what I saw). Fortunately for the publisher, I was the owner of the disk version as soon as it was released in 2008, from where I downloaded all the necessary content and replaced the Intro. Dear users. If the game seemed boring or cropped to you, check the game files, maybe censorship played its part and you tried out a castrated masterpiece. (P.S. Before starting the game, check the game files in Sounds for full immersion and, if not, finish the Cut base. I also recommend replacing everything in Movies with original content.) The only thanks to the developer - it is lined with modern hardware and this is the only plus. The game is divine, I know how old it is. Everything else is publisher's stuff. ======================================================================= Игра как всегда хороша, но без оговорок не обойтись. Издатель капитально по всем фронтам наделал кучи. Я абсолютно недоволен тем, что компания-издатель умудрилась вырезать контент (Банально Sounds имеет лишь записи реплик сюжетных "Voiceovers" и ничего более. Помимо прочего меня вывело из себя сломанный Интро самой игры, где на кой то черт решили заспойлерить весь геймплей? Помимо прочего сюжетные фильмы без звука - сплошное слайд шоу (Я пришелся в гнев после увиденного). На счастье издателя, я был владельцем дисковой версии, как только она вышла в 2008 году, откуда перекачал весь необходимый контент и заменил Интро. Уважаемые пользователи. Если игра вам показалась скучной или обрезанной - проверьте файлы игры, быть может цензура сыграла свое и вы опробовали кастрированный шедевр. (P.S. Перед началом игры для полного погружения проверьте файлы игры в Sounds и при отсутсвии докачатейте Вырезанную основу. Так же рекомендую заменить в Movies все на оригинальный контент.) Единственное спасибо разработчику - подбито под современное железо и это Единственный плюс. Игра божественна, знаю как олд. Все остальное косяки издателя. P.S. Прошел целиком на максимальной сложности - мне понравилось. (секреты в том числе) Концовки работают исправно.

Finally beat it. Well I don't even know where to begin with this manifestation of extreme euro jank. Maybe watch some youtube videos of what it's all about? I enjoyed quite a bit of it but it dragged on and on. I quit playing it about two years ago, little did I know I was right at the end with the end boss very near. Sure you could do worse. Lets get some things straight your character likes to yap constantly Duke 3d, Blood, Serious Sam line type stuff, it's pretty cheesy but fun, annoying too. I'd say it's worth playing. Embrace the jank. Fun trashy FPS game. In all honesty I wish there was more stuff like this out there but there isn't. It happens to have just the right amount of artistry and trash thrown into it to actually be a cult classic. Did Bruce Campbell commission this?

I have no idea whether I like this game or not. I have played this for 2 hours straight - for any other game, that would be more than enough time to decide whether or not the thing you just bought was worth your hard-earned money. For Necrovision, that is a completely different case. I was immediately alerted to the fact that this game uses the Painkiller engine - a decision I found odd for a game with this theme in particular, but I didn't pay too much attention to it. 30 minutes later I realize that I should have. The second level in the game (SECOND LEVEL!) immediately changes the tone from the horrors and trials of war to something quite similar to the original Painkiller: hordes of brainless enemies rushing at you, mini boss fights in-between these skirmishes... stunning, to say the least. It also warped and distorted the original vision of an FPS set in WW1: sure, it kept that general atmosphere, but it added new enemies & themes that are complete fiction. The description says nearly nothing about the undead rising from their muddy graves, hordes of hellhounds trying to kill you, and ginormous dragons destroying 3 planes in a row. Not to mention the unreasonable amount of cutscenes and setpieces ocurring in one level: each one of them lasts 30-40 mins or so, but they feel like an hour each from the ridiculous amount of stuff crammed inbetween them. Weapons feel okay (so far) - they're the only thing that fit in with the WW1 theme so far. Problem is they deal nearly no damage, except for heavier weapons such as the MG 08. You'll have to end up stabbing and poking your enemies if you want to get through the level in a reasonable amount of time. I will not even mention the combo system - such an idea in a WW1 game is already perplexing, and its actual implementation in this game in particular is amusing, astonishing and confusing. I see why this has a 60 in Metacritic, neither the players nor critics could figure out this game. It is simply too confusing for the average gamer. Do I recommend this game? Absolutely. Even though I do not know my current opinion on this game, I would suggest players with more tough & organized minds try to figure out what this game is trying to be, as I have failed in accomplishing such a task. Well worth the 8 dollars I paid for.
