The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing

Too short (that's what she said).

I enjoyed this ARPG, it's got some fun gimmick fights and decent level and enemy variety for its relatively short runtime. However, it has some issues especially in the third act, and the story is barebones. You do get a companion character for the whole game who you can choose to mostly disable, but she acts as your pet for auto selling and your town portal as well. The banter between her and the titular character was the high point of the game for me. The map design is also a high point as most maps have a variety of interactive elements or puzzles and side objectives to engage with. There's nothing super arcane but they do a lot to prevent the action from becoming tedious. Unfortunately, these dry up in act 3 and the enemies are plopped down in such quantities and with such large health bars that it becomes extremely tedious to make progress. Having the act 3 areas also be mostly devoid of anything interesting just makes the issue much more obvious. It's slightly redeemed by the final boss, which is interesting and spouts pop culture reference one liners in a slightly amusing fashion, but that's not quite enough to redeem act 3 fully in my opinion. I like this better than titan quest, but there are definitely better arpgs out there. If you're looking to scratch the itch but don't want to sign away hundreds of hours give it a shot.

Honestly, really enjoy this game so far. As someone who has played through the entire Diablo series, I found the gothic-noir world of Borgovia super interesting and a great addition to the ARPGs I plan to play in the future. Between my Xbox Series X and this laptop, which is pretty much my only way to game on PC, so I was happy to see it runs so well. I am running an AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS with Radeon 760M Graphics on Windows 11. Atmosphere: The dark, gothic aesthetic and the whole "mad science vs. monsters" thing is right up my alley. Performance: the hardware handles the packs of monsters without any lag. Co-op: Connecting with friends has been a totally seamless experience. Connection: Playing with friends has been a totally smooth experience, and connecting to sessions is super easy. Aesthetic: I really appreciate the dark, gothic atmosphere and the creative world-building it’s very immersive. Playstyle: It’s great for both solo and group play I’ve enjoyed my time alone, but hopping on with the group is great, especially if you’re on a call and you hear your friends screaming “HELP!” Or we actively engage into more of the roleplay aspect Minor Critiques: If I had to be a bit critical, the menus and UI feel a little dated compared to modern ARPGs if you’re strictly used to modern ARPGS. Also, the pathfinding can be a tiny bit wonky in tight spots, but it’s nothing that ruins the fun. Overall experience: Overall, I’m definitely looking forward to playing more. If you want a cool adventure and some weapons to go hunt monsters, you should definitely give this a try especially with friends

Macht sehr viel Spaß. Preis-Leistung stimmt. Erinnert mich in vielen Bereichen an Diablo III (Ausrüstungsrad und skill-bare Begleiterin). Zu empfehlen. Die nostalgische Grafik und das Geheimnisvolle macht den Reiz aus dran zu bleiben. Der Soundtrack ist großartig. Ebenso macht es Spaß zu taktieren und nach jedem Level die Skillpunkte sinnvoll zu verteilen bei van Helsing. Kritikpunkt: Es gibt hier und da Bugs. Allerdings beeinträchtigen diese nur geringfügig das Spielerlebnis bis auf eine Ausnahme: Es gibt eine Quest, wo man am Ende zum Versteck in die Kanalisation gehen muss und die Belohnung abholt. Sollte man zuvor das Menü mit der Ausrüstung (Ausrüstungsrad) geöffnet haben, dann passiert es eigentlich immer (bei zwei Spieldurchläufen war der Fehler immer bei mir an der selben Stelle), dass der Bildschirm komplett einfriert und man nichts anderes mehr machen kann, als das Spiel zu beenden. Da die automatische Speicherfunktion nur sehr zaghaft ist in diesem Spiel, musste ich dann viele Handgriffe nach dem Neustart (nach Absturz) noch einmal machen, was sehr ärgerlich ist. Kam aber wie gesagt nur einmal pro Spielstand vor.

это жесть, а не игра. Начнем с плюсов: хорошая русская локализация, прикольные шмотки, у и прокачка перса как во всех рпг дрочева. Теперь минусы: это неиграбельное говнище. Почему? Ну окей, в начале все хорошо, имеется баланс между тобой и противниками. В начале нет такого, что ты не можешь что то пройти со второго раза. Противников в меру и играть вроде как в кайф, но ближе к середине начинается конкретная пизда. Тебе на маленькую локацию с размером в однушку пихают не то что цыганский табор, тебе дают армию гоблинов спереди, сзади наступает орда летающий хуесосов и по итогу тебя гасят толпой со всех сторон. И так каждая битва к середине игры. Их можно загасить через 100500 смертей, но в некст комнате, в которую ты придешь через 10 секунд после прошлого карнавала будет тоже самое. Играл на средней сложности, вроде все способности и прочую рпг залупу качал сбалансировано. Вообщем недопрошел я тк это какой то ♥♥♥♥♥♥. Ну еще могу выделить скучноватый сюжет. 6,5/10 чисто из за огромного разнообразия лута и прокачки перса

It took me 10 years to finish this game! Do you wonder why? Well... let me tell you a story... I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I... dropped it 10 years ago halfway through and picked it up recently :D It is a good game imo, didn't play multi, but it could be fun on multi I think.
