NecroVision

Actualy... I like it ngl.

В игре есть низкополигональные крысы в окопах

The game broke for me after about 8 hours. I was meant to press a switch to extend a bridge and nothing happened. NOT EVEN CHEATING WORKED. Fun game from what i got to play but i can't recommend a game that breaks after 8 hours of gameplay.

I’ve started Necrovision several times but I just can’t find enough enjoyment to get past the first bunch of stages. Enemies aren’t fun, weapons lack punch, the story wasn’t engaging. Maybe it gets better but I just don’t want to struggle through to get there.

TL:DR - This game has mixed reviews for a reason. I wish I could leave a neutral review... It has fun moments, but it is also kinda bad and janky. So many bugs and crashes. I literally flipped a coin to leave a thumbs up or a thumbs down and down won.

NecroVision is an ambitious shooter that combines elements of horror with a gritty World War I setting. While it showcases some flashes of creativity, it's weighed down by a myriad of issues that make it a challenging one to recommend. If you can pick it up on sale for a few dollars and have a high tolerance for frustration, you might find some enjoyment here—just be prepared for frequent crashes and restarts.

Now for some pros/cons.

Pros:

The gameplay in NecroVision, while flawed, has its moments. The weapons, for the most part, feel satisfying to use, with a nice variety of guns that offer a bit of everything. Combat can be entertaining, especially when you're in the thick of battle, and the game's limb dismemberment system adds a nice punch to the action. Additionally, the music is surprisingly strong, helping to set the tone and enhance the atmosphere.

The 2009 graphics are serviceable, with environments that range from decent to mediocre. The unlockable challenge levels provide a fun diversion, offering additional content that can be more enjoyable than the main campaign at times. The letters being read to you as you play are a nice touch, adding a layer of immersion that makes the experience feel a bit more cohesive.

Cons:

Unfortunately, the positives are overshadowed by a host of negatives. The enemies, for instance, are a major source of frustration. They aren't challenging in a way that feels rewarding; instead, they are just plain annoying. Swarming you in endless waves. They turn what could be tense encounters into chaotic messes that feel more tedious than anything. The horror aspect of the game is lost in the sheer volume of enemies and the frenetic pace, making the horror element kinda moot.

The story is disjointed and hard to follow, with characters that fail to leave any lasting impression. It feels like the narrative is trying to do too much at once, resulting in a muddled plot that drags on far longer than it should. Level design is all over the place, with early levels are passable, but as you progress, you'll encounter vast, empty areas that feel lifeless and poorly constructed. The design choices become increasingly baffling, with gates and objectives that seem to trigger at random, and a compass that is more of a hindrance than a help.

So in conclusion...

NecroVision is a game that never quite manages to pull itself together. It's fun in a trashy, janky sort of way, and there's a certain charm to its rough edges that some players might appreciate. The game has just enough artistry and trash thrown into it to appeal to those who enjoy embracing the messiness of janky titles.

However, for every good thing NecroVision offers, there are two more that make the experience a slog. It's a shame, really, because there's a lot of passion behind the game, but it ultimately falls short of its potential. For the right price—say, around $4—it might be worth a shot.
