This game had the potential to be so much more than it already is and to be regarded as one of the staples of the ARPG genre!
Believe it or not, the cause for this is not the atmosphere, which is immaculate and somber akin to the gloominess of Autumn and the accompanying weird kind of coziness that comes with it.
It is also not the art nor asset/enemy variety, which, even though they represent a singular theme (doom and gloom), are so well done and varied enough to keep you from ever getting bored of the setting.
The game even has a serviceable story and surprisingly very good voice acting (the main character has the same voice as Geralt of Rivia) as well as a memorable OST.
The combat system is most definitely not the tarnishing factor here, since it is absolutely stellar!
Almost all weapons are very well done, simple in their uses and not too hard to master along with the ability to mix and match two of them at the same time.
The animations and sound effects are crisp, cool and fast.
All this, together with the abilities to jump, wall-jump and dodge, make a really enjoyable combating experience throughout the game.
On top of all of this you have your classic RPG equipment with different sorts of affixes, "Destiny Cards" (which are a fine creative spin on what essentially are pick-and-choose passives), "Demon Powers" (spells) and Talismans (powerful short boons or skills/attacks upon charging them up fully) which offer solid build variety and you are sure to be able to tailor equipment to your own playstyle and find very interesting synergies.
It should be noted however that upgrading certain pieces of equipment, such as Destiny Cards and Demon Powers, is EXTREMELY cumbersome and should have been automated since it requires a lot of Inventory navigation and management and the Inventory in this game is not very good.
Speaking of equipment, by the time your are done with the game, even if you optimized for loot drops, you will only uncover about half of the Legendary Weapons. This is a major disservice to the enjoyment in this game since the Legendary Weapons in this game are all unique, with unique effects and animations and you may not even get a Legendary variant of your main weapon.
Even though I listed some of the negatives just now, the main reason this game is a 7/10 and not higher is strictly due to the numbers !
Even on Normal Mode, the enemies simply have WAY TOO MUCH BLOATED ARMOR AND HEALTH stats.
We are talking about extremely optimized builds, with critical hit chance, damage and armor penetration still barely even making a dent in the lowest mobs on higher levels.
Since this game also scales all areas with your current level, this completely KILLS any sense of progression or power fantasy, simple as that.
I recommend you get this game on a good sale and to play together with a friend if able!
It was still a nice experience to get to journey through Zagoravia.

Awesome hack ‘n’ slash game (especially in COOP). If you like Diablo or Torchlight, you can't go wrong here. Runs perfectly on the deck.

Destructable enviromentals, smooth as butter gameplay.
Works well with KB&Mouse or Controller.
Voiced by the voice actor who plays Geralt in "The Witcher" game series.
A ton of content and replayability.
Difficulty starts to really ramp up around level 14 or so.

A good game with many hours of gameplay, it's a spinoff of the Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing franchise, good graphics and decent performance.
But, the game is boring at sometime...
Character doesn't evolve fast, weapons are weake and has low attack speed at the beginning.
Dungeon bosses are stronger and are necessary long fight to defect him.
You must jump and run like a gazelle for long time to survive these ♥♥♥♥♥♥ bosses, it's ridiculous... it's embarrassing...this is boring...
Don't take me wrong, I like this genre of games, but Victor Vran, I definitely didn't like it.
It's a game to buy on a good sale, be advised.

It's very meh. Best part is Geralt's VA, everything else is pretty generic, combat is simplistic and it doesn't have any impact, feels like hitting air. Took me 6 hours to rush through story. Not a bad game to say, but i expected more.

for a game where story is the last thing, it's a nice choice to mix Witcher and The Stanley Parable in voice narration.
combat is a bit dated by now, probably, but it's still a decent Diablo-like RPG. co-op was really good as i remember.

Recommended, but barely.
The game is pretty decent and reasonably priced, but there are plenty of better games in this genre.
