BACKGROUND

 

Publisher Cenega, the same people who brought you El Matador, have announced a brand new WWI shooter for PCs and next gen consoles based on People Can Fly's Painkiller technology. And don't worry, this game isn't your normal run-of-the-mill WWI shooter as you'll be facing off against hordes of vampires and demons instead of brain dead Nazis.

 

NecroVisioN is a First Person Shooter taking place in a variety of locations from battlefields of World War I to much darker and brutal underground world of vampires and demons. Sceneries range from realistic to dream-like, opponents from enemy troops to fantasy creatures – old fashion look and style of the game is going to remind the world setting from the Lovecraft's horrors and seamlessly mix the war shooter elements into it. Player will fight enemies using environments, powerful and evil artifacts, vampire technology, and authentic WWI era weapons.

 

If developer The Farm 51 can make this as entertaining as Painkiller, I'm going to be hooked onto this game for a long time.

 

The year is 1916. Young American joins UK Army to experience an adventure of his life and soon realizes that greater evil is hiding beneath the Great War storm. He has to face the underground world of vampires, demons, evil genius creatures and even become one of the demons to rescue the human and vampire kind from forces of darkness.

PLOT

 

A great evil lurks beneath the earth's surface, hidden amongst the war-torn landscapes of World War I, and it is up to players to stop it.

 

In typical videogame fashion, the only warriors capable of taking on the forces of darkness are vampires. Yeah, you read that right: vampires. Players must take the role of a human struggling to help the losing vampire forces. NecroVisioN is a FPS encompassing a wide variety of locales including traditional World War I trenches to underground lairs of vampires and demons. The game is supposed to evoke the settings of Lovecraft's horror work. Players will beat back the insurgent demon forces using powerful occult objects, advanced vampire technology, and authentic WWI-era weapons.
