Takes place before the NecroVisioN story begins. It contains a bunch of unique levels, characters, weapons and gameplay elements as well as new main hero that presents the original game story from opposite perspective. Player is now one of WWI German troops that discovers the evil forces unleashed by the war, starts to fight against them and leads soldiers of all nations gathered on the front through the massive battles against the zombies and demons and finally he becomes a first Necromancer that will fight against Simon Bukner in NecroVisioN.
A crazy, crazy game. Crazy hard, too.
I enjoyed it. Very fun story. It took all the most prosaic elements of modern culture and presented them in a new way. A new, very crazy way...that was really....hard.
Now this is what I call an expansion pack! :D
Bringing us back to the trenches of the Somme also brought new enemies, weapons and a much larger variety in gameplay!
While we do no return as Simon, we do, however, return with a familiar character, one of the main antagonists of the first game!
I was enthralled to play as a German soldier (A very rare opportunity, especially today) who sounded realistic and even likeable, with the lines of dialogue being considerably better written then the first game.
My biggest gripe with the first NecroVisioN was the lack of dual wielding past level six. This has changed, with the opportunity to dual wield ever more weapons for most of the game, before returning to Vampire weapons and the shadowhand :)
The level design is also much tighter and higher quality the first, and once again rewards players who have keen perception.
It goes without saying that this is one of the best expansion packs I've played in many years. While somewhat shorter then the first game, I won't lie I had more fun playing Lost Company over the first game.
Give this a go, if the first game caught your interest :)
