An insipid and trite game that struggles with plot, consistency and character, settling instead for a mindless headlong charge. [Mar 2009, p.118]

Crazy as hell Necrovision brings a new perspective to the events of World War One. Strictly a linear action shooter excels with an unconventional set of weapons and frantic boss fights. Unfortunately, the graphics don't match the extreme HW requirements. [Feb 2009]
A game that can be fun, but overall not so good. Great visuals and an interesting combat system, with some good moments. But its story is not as good as it should be, gameplay is a bit harsh playing with keyboard, and it's so typical that it isn't a fun experience overall.

Es muy buen juego con buena temática pero lo que le quita un detalle es que es un juego que se suele buguear mucho además que casi siempre da crash, pero aparte de todo eso se convirtió en uno de mis juegos queridos

Literally unplayable. Controls are abysmal, you can't see **** because of how messy the environments are and the amount of effects and grey there is on screen and I'm not exaggerating, you really can't see what you're doing. It's littered with bugs everywhere as well. Story is incomprehensible, audio cuts out, is too high or too low. Guns feel like peashooters, you're constantly confused as to what is going on, who are you supposed to shoot. I've not played a bigger mess than this crap.

The combat is in the game is extremely gratifying.

Necrovision is overall a good game, with some fun moments and original features, something to praise nowadays... but it does not reach to be a great game. Thus, combining the little awareness of the game in comparison with the latest larger productions, will probably make Necrovision go mostly unnoticed.

They get a 10 because the game is criminally underrated. Yeah its clunky and lacks the amount of polish we are used to now, but at the same time you can clearly see the love and talent that was involved. Im sure a lot these guys went on to greater things.

Сгнивший труп величия шутеров Крайне недооценённый шутер родом из Польши. По сути является дедушкой того же Bulletstorm. Тематика крайне интересная и в своем роде уникальная (никто больше не скрещивал восставших мертвецов и первую мировую). Геймлей достаточно динамичный, но его скорость зависит от вашего куража и в каком-то смысле скилла. Оружия много и оно приятное, враги разнообразные, левелдизайн смотрится хорошо. Графика даже сейчас не заставляет глаза плакать, а физика тел до сих пор поражает воображение (да каждое тело убитого обрабатывается как физический объект и враги могут о них даже спотыкаться, впрочем как и вы, но в угоду балансу со временем трупы исчезают (иначе ваши компы бы давно сгорели) Единственное что правда подкачало так это техническая реализация, баги и провисания в наличии имеются. Но, парадокс, если играть через линукс протон, то игра почти не тормозит в отличие от винды, в общем польские фокусы. Оценка 10 из 10 артефактов вампиров

The game delivers non-stop action from start to finish, constantly throws new enemies at you and gradually introduces new abilities. It won't be everyone's idea of a good time, but leave your brain on the installation screen and you're likely to have plenty of mindless fun.

If the story had been a lot more coherent and decided whether it wanted to be tongue-in-cheek or tragic, then it would be a bit easier for me to get on board and enjoy the ride. Even so, having made the commitment to play through the game, I found myself appreciating the abundance (sometimes overabundance) of combat features and the hundreds of enemies waiting around each corner.

NecroVisioN is out-and-out old school corridor (or rather trench) blasting and is unrepentant about it. [Apr 2009, p.69]

Budget price and no more. NecroVision fails.

At first, NecroVisioN seems like a fun game. But when you realize that the 1237th encounter with monsters is the same as the 561st, and that melee is just a polygon mess, all the fun goes away.

Great game if you love Painkiller or similar games. Lots of undead to blast away (though I'd love some more), interesting story and enough dynamic gameplay to keep you interested all the way through. Though it needs to be harder (on a higher difficulty), more monsters and co-op mode. Review is based on NecroVision: Lost Company seams it doesn't exist on Metacritic

Игрушка для своего времени слабоватая но мне лично запомнилась и до сих пор припоминается вот сижу вспоминаю нормальные такие воспоминания но лучше второй раз её не запускать всё-таки на всякий случай иначе нечего будет вспомнить потом уже ничего хорошего

A story that combines the first world war with fantasy elements but the game is unfortunately janky as hell. Even though the concept looks interesting and the graphics are still not bad for the year of release, the gameplay is so bad that the few positive aspects are not enough to make up for it. You can look at COD WW that came out a year before this game and you can see the serious gameplay difference between them. The NecroVision developers probably didn't really know much about FPS games.

Necrovision is a hard game to get through because of how clunky it is. actually the whole game is a mess but you can see how much love went into it even if it is a mess . it has all the telling signs of a devs First game and that is because it was and they got better as the game went on . sadly by the end of it i just wanted to get to the final boss and rushed through Story: an american soldier on the british front lines of ww1 ? ok makes no sense already but i digress , then Hell opens up zombies are a thing and a dragon flies across the sky , it was a kraut scientist, but the scientist as being controlled by vampires , but the vampires were being controlled by demons and the story just keeps getting messier and messier but the end surprised me. also the main character starts out like a guy who just wants peace and ends up a powerful demigod obsessed with violence and that character development is perfect for video games , if this story was in any other medium it would not work or at least work as well Still a wacky mess though (in a good way ) Story: 6.3/10 world building : there is minimal world building done here as most locations are varied but not very detailed sure you can find letters and stuff but the games level design lets me know at every step this is just a video game and not a fully realized world , i can appreciate what they tried to do especially in the latter half with the vampires world as well as their weapons cause got dam are they cool .i like how the vampires live underground as they hate the sun , a human would think it was hell as i think the scientist did. and how they use drill trams to get around is a nice touch. but other than that its just a bunch of cliche **** and demon stuff only really creative by making them all into one game World building:4.5/10 Graphics: CAN I GET A FRIGGIN FLASHLIGHT jesus this game is dark and not in the edgy kind of way in the lighting kind of way i could barely see anything while in hell , i wasted so much ammo on spray and pray "Raise your brightness and gamma " I DID it didn't help technically this game is a mess and works right half the time , it looks shoddy , like a plastic dollar store toy , a toy you would still have fun with though. this games graphics are saved entirely by art direction Graphics 3.3/10 Gameplay: keeping in theme of this game being a mess the game play is a buggy mess , aiming feels off , why does the rifle look bent ? how come i get sent 20 feet in the air trying to walk over a corpse. how come the ogre monsters are so quick and to get away from them i have to sprint side ways and there is no other strategy for them ? why is every boss justa bullet sponge ( at least some of them have different stages i'll award points for that) why is this game both frustratingly hard and mind numbingly easy ?????. that is the bad , the good is the dual wield and melee mechanics though i enjoyed those especially early game , not so much late game Gameplay:4.2/10 Sound design: is the music good ? its fitting sure, repetitive yes , plays at weird times also yes , final boss music is the same as the menu music ( really?!) voice acting was terrible in a campy funny way though , not that the acting it self was bad cause i think the main character did alright just the direction was off and would tunt the enemies after killing them then he would go into pacifist mode for a cut scene and it would be SO jaring like no one says" DEATH DEATH AND DEATH" as if he is enjoying carnage then says how terrible violence is. it makes no sense and really brings you out of it , sound design that actively takes you out of the game at almost every turn that's just a no from me Sound design 2/10 6.3+4.5+3.3+4.2+2=20.3 20.35= 4.06/10 in terms of critically this game **** , but there is a passion here , and i has charm , a so bad its good feel , don't go in expecting to be blown away but it has its enjoyable moments

SummaryNecroVisioN is a first person shooter that immerses gamers in the claustrophobic trenches and bunkers of the First WorldWar. Reminiscent of a Lovecraft horror, NecroVisioN seamlessly mixes the harrowing battlefields with a nightmarish demon and vampire underworld, unleashing a truly visceral experience. The year is 1916 and the Great War... Read More
