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.  

See the full press release about the new site after the break.
