The game starts with you fighting a gruesome trench war, and two levels later has you driving a dieselpunk mech suit into French Stonehenge against a gigantic scorpion robot piloted by a necromancer wielding a magic gauntlet created by vampires to fight demons. Just *describing* this game is a fever dream, let alone playing it. EDIT: Also worth noting is that the machine gun is the Maxim MG 08/15, a water-cooled weapon which weighs over 45 pounds fully loaded, and he's *dual wielding them*.
And from Nosferatu: Wrath of Malachi we know that just one machine gun is better than holy water, cross, and stakes combined. Why didn't he just bullet-punish Mephisto into nothingness I'll never know.
@@Ivan_Zygan Good thing firearms and missile launchers aren't "weapons forged", at least according to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. No idea why hellspawn are not immune to those though.
If I had a dollar a World war themed game devolved into Dieselpunk mechs I'd have 2 dollars. Which isn't a lot but weird that it happened Twice. And the other time was a Tactical shooter with even less indication it's going to go off the rails wacky with tesla cannons. For anyone wondering I'm talking about Silent Storm.
This game has a high degree of historical accuracy. There was a reason attacking infantry on dragonback was banned by the Geneva Convention- the inaccuracy meant a lot of civilian casualties.
This game gave me the most severe tonal whiplash I've ever had. It's like a 12 year old with a very hyperactive mind just going ham on a keyboard and trying to make a story about war, vampires, dragons and demons and trying to make it all work out. What a wild trip.
You know, I could totally imagine a cool survival horror game that starts in WW1 and ends up in hell. But it would not have mechs, dragons and a friggen JRR Tolkien cameo.
Uh, didn't Clive Barker make that game? Jericho or something like that? Except it's Clive Barker with unlimited budget and no producer to hold him back so ... scatological Roman pedos are an actual thing in that game ... EDIT: I was wrong, cannablistic semi-scatological Roman governors and the Priest good guy is implied to be the pedo. I blame my old memory.
Just want to appreciate how at 27:41 interrupting the reload with a sprint makes the character then resume it where it was left off instead of starting again, which is not something you see often.
Yeah, just have reloads with stages. Like on an LMG: "open the gun", "pull out old belt", "attack new belt", "pull bullets in", "close gun", "pull charging handle". And then continue from the last segment that played. But what some games have is reload cancelling, when the gun is reloaded before the animation is finished, and you could just skip the rest by swapping to a different weapon, meleeing, sprinting, etc.
Lost Company was an interesting prequel, given that you play as the man himself - Zimmerman. Also, the collector's edition came with a wooden german grenade with the name of the game etched and burned into it. I have two, because I ordered one, then won a graphics competition on the semi-official forums. Good times.
I feel like both halves of NecroVision - gritty WW1 shooter, and demon-slaying Painkiller clone - were each originally planned to be the full game at one point. Then something happened during development and the two were stitched together with an insane plot. It's like the game is Frankenstein's monster, and the story is the lightning that brought life to them.
I mean, that door opens to the "outside world", they couldn't risk him actually escaping so I assume that's all just some underground biodome like the NERV HQ.
How do you think this came about: did they start wanting to make a grim WWI shooter and they fell back to a supernatural plot when that got too hard to pull off, or did they start with a story about killing the devil and WWI happened to come up?
Most likely different people were coming to it with different ideas and the team never *actually* settled on a specific vision, there were just a lot of rushed compromises.
Man, I love these Slav-jank videos. The ludicrous shlock story treated as if it were a profound philosophical statement, the amusing bugs and the kernel of something actually kind of cool. Thanks for another great one.
"Ghosts? On Mars? What the _ffffff-FAHKIN_ shit is that all about?! How can there be...GHOSTS.. on MARS when no one's ever been there to die leaving a ghost?!" -David Lynch, I guess
World War 1, duel wielding, zombies, mages, vampires, dragons and a battle with the devil himself. God bless the batshit crazy overambition of janky 2000's shooters.
And then the year 2007 happened, and everything had to be a modern military shooter. Sometimes I miss the early 00's, when things were more out there and the first priority was fun, not realism.
"Oh yes please, give me more one liners" There's a dedicated button for that, Civvie. Kinda surprised he didn't run into the "softlock" with the second mech section.
I literally rewatched Mandalore gaming's old Necrovision video yesterday and thought to myself, "I'd like to see civvie play through necrovision and see how he feels about this crazy coked up ww1 shooter." I don't know what kind of pre-cognitive power I tapped into but it scares me. Tbh, i'd love to see you do a video on Platinum games Vanquish too. But great content as always Civvie!
Good choice. I was thinking you should cover this. Strange fact: American’s joined up voluntarily to assist the British before America officially joined the war. Bonus fact: the battle of the Somme is the most brutal battles of all time. Historians also haven’t been able to establish if it any appreciable outcome on the war, and the strategic value of capturing one side of the Somme over the other.
I still remember getting YAE from a best buy when I was a kid for twenty dollars. Took forever to get it to work properly so I spent more time flipping through the manual and seeing all the enemies and their descriptions
From WW1 shooter that shifts between Medal of Honor then to COD Zombies then to Wolfenstein that transforms into Edgelord FPS where you play as Spawn riding a dragon is wild.
This is one of those games that occupies that exact grey area of being well-known enough that I've heard other youtubers talk about it, but obscure enough that I never would have expected Civvie to do a video on it. The result? Pleasant surprise.
I knew there was a reason I felt bad today. It happens with concerning frequency that Civvie uploads on days where I'm sick, slept terribly, or am otherwise not feeling the day.
@@ASpooneyBard He likes Clive Barker, so I don't know why he hasn't done Jericho yet. It's horrible jank and bloomy as heck, but Civvie is at his best when he's suffering. He gets to play entirely too many good games. I miss the Capstone stuff, especially TEKWAR!

Coming out of the bunker and seeing "Defeat the Wizard" has the same vibe as coming out of your house, seeing a giant health bar appear and a text popping up saying: "DEFEAT BIBLICALLY ACCURATE ANGEL"
3:27 has to be one of the best bits in a Civvie video I've seen in a while. You know you're onto something truly special when the game looks truly nauseating through horrendous bloom.
Omg, that Xmas intro nearly gutted me! Now THAT was a jump scare! 😅 also, I think the second half of the game is trying to be Warhammer, what with that “my guns never tire” quote and the flamethrower rats.
This game missed the opportunity to make Hell a sewer level. Besides that the dragon, mechs, vampire beasts, wizards and J.R.R. Tolkien writing about Middle Earth in a German prison were fairly historically accurate for the Great War.
trench warfare? wizard boss fights? sideways pistol shooting? a gun in one hand and a sword in the other? this isn't slav jank, this is the _DEFINITIVE_ hell yeah simulator.
This game looks like it was two separate games, one about WWI and the other about hell and necromancy, that were largely done that got meshed together just to make it longer. Wouldn't surprise me and would explain the voice change of the protagonist and... everything.
It took me a while to recognize her voice, but the VA of the blue light was also in Unreal Tournament 2004, it was the voice narrating various events, such as when you must draft your team and then frag them for them to accept you as their leader.
35:06 "nothing can save you know." Civvie was so checked out of the game at this point that he didn't even call out the typo that made it in to a cutscene.
While probably a bit too slow-paced for Civvie to do a video, I did enjoy Farm 51's "Deadfall Adventures," which is basically a first-person Indiana Jones simulator. Quite a nice little B-game, and I hadn't even heard of it until I stumbled onto it a few months ago.
I know in my heart of hearts that civvie will never do it but there’s still a part of me that thinks he’s doing a Penumbra game that or a Christmas game for the funnies
0:25 - You cannot stop us Civvie! All too soon our plans and soon the first day of the holidays will be Independence day. At long last it will finally be Christmas in July.
If you like 200's era bloomshooters about the horrors of war with a metaphorical and actual zombies in it, multiple downer endings, with a fast paced plot that zips between trench warfare and horde shooter, you'd LOVE shellshocked: blood trails its the PTSD 'nam shooter with a 28 days later zombie outbreak
Hey Civvie, I want to thank you for providing me with laughs and joy over these last few years. Please tell Tiny Tim I won’t be making it home this Hallow’s Eve for I am being pursued by the disembodied ghost of Randy Pitchford and I suspect I have no aid from nigh-omnipotent universal crusader and quantum physics regulator John Carmack.
I was wondering why I failed History 3 grades in a row. I was never taught about the Nazi zombie slashing, dragon bludgeoning, Vampire vasectomy giving Brits. They were just built different cant blame the American Education system for not wanting there children to know Brits are more prone to biting your throats out then asking if you want sugar in your tea. I'm 23 and I jus found this out today.
An interesting fact that is probably unintentional: Mephisto is also the name of a German A7V tank, one of only 20 built during WWI, which was captured and is now the only one in existence, being on display in the Australian War Museum.
I remember buying this when it first came out. I was so pumped for a horror game set in WW1! Then I saw the combo system and realized that I had made a terrible purchasing decision.
Can't remember the last time I HAAAAAAAAATED dialogue in a game as much as this, it's the most tortured delivery of the most rudimentary exposition delivered as subtlety as a brick through a window
I really appreciate this game despite how jank it is, because a horror shooter set in WWI is an severely underrated idea and it’s virtually (possibly even actually) the only one that exists. Necrovision has a DLC/sequel thing called Lost Company that feels more polished and focused. I wish someone would just recognize the genius of the horror shooter in WWI concept. So far the closest we’ve gotten since Necrovision is the Origins Map from CoD Zombies and that instance takes a lot of liberties with the technology and weapons to the point that the setting feels like an afterthought.
As a huge NecroVisioN fan and master of the game engine and glitches I found it disappointing you didn't find the slamfire glitch, the ammo save on finisher glitch (or at least didn't show case it) and of course the infamous, flying and out of bound glitch, that can be used to showcase what happens after checkpoint to the world behind you, and boy is it scary and pretty at the same time. A shame you decided to not bother with NVN: Lost Company, it's better than original, includes more guns, more combos, more enemies, but I guess if you don't want to touch painkiller, you wouldn't probably want to touch the prequel. Suffice to say as a game made by Polish company, most of the good dialogue and jokes were top to mid at best in polish, however some of the knack and fun got lost in translation. I don't want to go into the detail of Serious Uncle Sam final challenge as it's both hard, but also a very satisfying show of combat, especially if you know what to do and knew a variety of combos to go through, as a reward you get a cool Shadowhand mechanic that grants you the powers from the trailer / first chapter video with the barbed wire shadow hand and acid rain spell, those are top tier fun. Anyway, good vid an all;
With this, we're officially one step closer for Civvie's inevitable Painkiller video and for one I cannot wait.

It took me a while to recognize her voice, but the VA of the blue light was also in Unreal Tournament 2004, it was the voice narrating various events, such as when you must draft your team and then frag them for them to accept you as their leader.
I knew I wasn't the only one who instantly thought it was the Unreal announcer woman
A damn shame those far superior multiplayer games are now dead and brutally trampled underfoot by *(angrily seethes)* BLOODY FORTNITE???!!!!
@@michaelandreipalon359"The future is now old man!"
@@schizofreniccunt1952 ...What does that even mean?
That the future is now, I guess... *cyberpunk 2077 music starts*
"Castle Jankenstein". Another classic added to the list.
Just when I needed a Civvie video most, he delivers!
35:06 "nothing can save you know." Civvie was so checked out of the game at this point that he didn't even call out the typo that made it in to a cutscene.
While probably a bit too slow-paced for Civvie to do a video, I did enjoy Farm 51's "Deadfall Adventures," which is basically a first-person Indiana Jones simulator. Quite a nice little B-game, and I hadn't even heard of it until I stumbled onto it a few months ago.
Sweet! I've been looking forward to Civvie's Christmas 2022 video.
The scariest thing about this video is that we got to hear what I believe is Civvie's natural laugh at 13:40
I know in my heart of hearts that civvie will never do it but there’s still a part of me that thinks he’s doing a Penumbra game that or a Christmas game for the funnies
Cant wait for the unavoidable 5 nights at civvies
Civvie slavbear
0:25 - You cannot stop us Civvie! All too soon our plans and soon the first day of the holidays will be Independence day. At long last it will finally be Christmas in July.
I need to finally try this game out. It's in my GOG library.
Edit: Oooooh. That OMD reference still hurts.
If you like 200's era bloomshooters about the horrors of war with a metaphorical and actual zombies in it, multiple downer endings, with a fast paced plot that zips between trench warfare and horde shooter, you'd LOVE shellshocked: blood trails
its the PTSD 'nam shooter with a 28 days later zombie outbreak
This game feels like if someone took the last level from Painkiller and made an entire videogame out of it
Hey Civvie, I want to thank you for providing me with laughs and joy over these last few years. Please tell Tiny Tim I won’t be making it home this Hallow’s Eve for I am being pursued by the disembodied ghost of Randy Pitchford and I suspect I have no aid from nigh-omnipotent universal crusader and quantum physics regulator John Carmack.
23:03 a masterclass in tonal dissonance
The start of Armageddon being 2016 is scarily accurate
8:13 An adjustable firing rate is a feature of the Maxim gun. This one is set to "falling toolchest".
Good stuff. Always a great day when Civvie uploads one of these longer-form videos.
The fact that Civvie recommends MandaloreGaming proves that he is a man of culture.
Been waiting for this one since Mandalore did it
This game took the insane to 11, I love games like this, reminds me even in war, it shouldn't stop you for having fun.
This quote should be engraved in a statue.
i bet you'd have fun exploring your cycles of guilt playing EYE: Divine Cybermancy
And another great video. Also good to see the change of scenery. You can even see the sky over there
Maybe the real horror was the friends we made along the way
Had to be the brain rot trying to understand it.
Oh shit new civvie just dropped
I was wondering why I failed History 3 grades in a row. I was never taught about the Nazi zombie slashing, dragon bludgeoning, Vampire vasectomy giving Brits. They were just built different cant blame the American Education system for not wanting there children to know Brits are more prone to biting your throats out then asking if you want sugar in your tea. I'm 23 and I jus found this out today.
lol, never have I seen a game where you get a worse ending for a harder difficulty. That is truly a new one.
I hope being in the frozen hellwaste of the north means you'll be doing the Thing game at some point.
You mean south.
Happy this video came out on my birthday, Thanks Civvi!!
An interesting fact that is probably unintentional: Mephisto is also the name of a German A7V tank, one of only 20 built during WWI, which was captured and is now the only one in existence, being on display in the Australian War Museum.
I just wanted to say that I genuinely love your channel, and that your videos keep getting better 🤘
I remember buying this when it first came out. I was so pumped for a horror game set in WW1! Then I saw the combo system and realized that I had made a terrible purchasing decision.
You've got no class, man. The combo system is EXACTLY what this WW1 horror with vampires, gas, trenches, mechs and dragons needed!
only civvie can perfectly describe and commentate something as insane as this, great video
A "History of the World, Part 1" reference?
Civvie11 out here doing God's work 😊
Can't remember the last time I HAAAAAAAAATED dialogue in a game as much as this, it's the most tortured delivery of the most rudimentary exposition delivered as subtlety as a brick through a window
Thou art very green in the world of Slavjank. Slavjank with good dialog is not true Slavjank.
This game still takes war more seriously than the recent CoD and BF titles.
I really appreciate this game despite how jank it is, because a horror shooter set in WWI is an severely underrated idea and it’s virtually (possibly even actually) the only one that exists. Necrovision has a DLC/sequel thing called Lost Company that feels more polished and focused. I wish someone would just recognize the genius of the horror shooter in WWI concept. So far the closest we’ve gotten since Necrovision is the Origins Map from CoD Zombies and that instance takes a lot of liberties with the technology and weapons to the point that the setting feels like an afterthought.
As a huge NecroVisioN fan and master of the game engine and glitches I found it disappointing you didn't find the slamfire glitch, the ammo save on finisher glitch (or at least didn't show case it) and of course the infamous, flying and out of bound glitch, that can be used to showcase what happens after checkpoint to the world behind you, and boy is it scary and pretty at the same time. A shame you decided to not bother with NVN: Lost Company, it's better than original, includes more guns, more combos, more enemies, but I guess if you don't want to touch painkiller, you wouldn't probably want to touch the prequel. Suffice to say as a game made by Polish company, most of the good dialogue and jokes were top to mid at best in polish, however some of the knack and fun got lost in translation. I don't want to go into the detail of Serious Uncle Sam final challenge as it's both hard, but also a very satisfying show of combat, especially if you know what to do and knew a variety of combos to go through, as a reward you get a cool Shadowhand mechanic that grants you the powers from the trailer / first chapter video with the barbed wire shadow hand and acid rain spell, those are top tier fun. Anyway, good vid an all;
ah Civvie back in full form - these kinds of videos of his are my favourites - pretty much laughed my ass off non-stop
Apocalypse in 2016? So the homeless guy shouting about it in town wasn't on meth, he had just played this game.
