This game is completely insane and goes from "war is hell" to "Kiss my ass" in basicly 0 seconds. It is flawed and even if it has it's charm and interesting ideas, the execution of those ideas is (let's just say) not the best.
Necrovision is a game set in WW1 with an american protagonist serving in the British army at the Somme with fanatic germans, not so fanatic germans, a crazy german scientist, zombies, undead mages, vampires, a scorpion tank, trolls, a talking weapon (the shadow-hand), underground civilizations, walker mechs,demons and a dragon.
The game's story is confusing at best. The maps are plain and monotonous. Some of the mechanics are not explained well. So what's good about the game? The gameplay. The killing. The comboing. Certain actions will count as a combo (headshot kills, attacking two times with a rifle bayonet the same enemy, a shotgun shot and a melee kick, kicking a enemy on the ground, just blowing up an enemy...) this will give you adrenaline (that it is used for slow-mo time, a second wind, or using the shadow-hand's spells) and fury levels (you can upgrade the levels by collecting vampire artefacts) that will give you benefits like health regeneration, increasing damage, making your enemies get electrified and just making them burst into flames and explode at higher levels. So slaughter your enemy with as many combos as you can and you will see how their bodies fly with the weird physiks. Fun stuff. This is the game at it's best.
Sadly, by the end of the game the hordes of enemies it throws at you become more tedious and repetitive to fight and for some reason you don't get the shadow-hand near half-way through the game.
All in all, the game is interesting, bad and good at the same time with a curious setting (WW1 supernatural demonic action FPS? not that common). Think before purchase, but if it's your cup of tea you might have some good hours ahead of you.
