Now available on FileShack is the English-language PC demo for NecroVisioN, a World War I-era shooter that has players exploring the depths of Hell while facing off against demons, zombies, vampires and giant robotic scorpions, among others.

Developed by The Farm 51--formed by two Painkiller veterans from People Can Fly--NecroVisioN hits Europe on February 20 and North America in the spring.

Publisher Aspyr has reached an agreement with European publisher 1C Company to bring five 1C-branded PC games--Cryostasis, Death Track: Resurrection, Men of War, NecroVisioN and 4x4 Hummer--to North America later this spring.

Developed by Action Forms, Cryostasis: Sleep of Reason is a survival-horror first-person shooter set in the Arctic Circle in which players explore a frozen ship to find out what damned it and its crew to an icy graveyard. Upon discovering a dead crew member, players can relive their final few moments in order to solve puzzles.

European gamers will see Cryostasis, NecroVisioN and Men of War released on February 20, with Death Track and 4X4 Hummer due out in March.
