This fast-paced shooter game for PCs, developed by a Polish firm called The Farm 51, mixes historical accuracy with a twisted plot that sees players venturing into the jaws of Hell itself to stop a zombie army and an evil demon overlord. You know, the kind of challenge most of us face every day. Set in 1917, the Great War has been raging for two long years and a new recruit, Simon Bukner, is a US Army soldier who is the latest to face the harsh realities of war. His first mission sees him getting lost deep behind enemy lines alongside his battalion of Allied troops after trying to break through the German positions and into Allied territory. The Germans attack hard and the Allies get pushed deeper into the enemy trenches until they’re ambushed and gassed. Bukner manages to escape into an underground safehouse but everything has changed. The dead are rising from their muddy graves and attacking any living creature they can find. Now Bukner must try to escape through the scores of German soldiers while fighting off flesh-hungry zombies. As he shoots his way through the trenches, he uncovers a truly horrifying plot to create an army of the undead.
But wait – there’s more. In a bizarre twist, Bukner discovers that the zombie force is actually being created for the benefit of humanity. A shadowy group of vampires has enlisted the help of a necromancer to make them their own personal army of the walking dead. This unlikely alliance is a final effort for the vampires who are struggling to stop terrible demons from opening up a portal to Hell and wiping out every living thing on Earth.
Now, armed with powerful vampire weapons and a magical artefact called the Shadowhand, Bukner must venture into the, um, bowels of Hell and stop the demons once and for all.
* NecroVisioN will be released on PC by Aspyr Media in North America in the second quarter of 2009 and, if there’s any justice, will make its appearance in South Africa soon afterwards. |
