Victor Vran

A solid hack-and-slash that suffers from a mostly unexciting loot system and ordinary campaign. [Oct 2015, p.72]

Each of the weapons are satisfying to learn and use, so even if you’re killing spiders and skeletons over and over again, there’s novelty built on top of the immediacy of each button press/click. It’s an enjoyable romp, even if the Gothic trappings never amount to much (it’s not even pulp horror quality, and it’s completely spoiled by spots of dreadful Stanley Parable style meta-textual commentary).

It might have a rather generic name for a video game title and a mediocre story, but Victor Vran makes for a solid option from other action RPGs to blast on for a few afternoons with friends, thanks to its focus on fast paced, fun action and neat ideas with the destiny cards to add a distinct flavour on top of the otherwise well-known formula of isometric action role-playing games.

Although Victor Vran lacks traditional character statistics, some customization options are present – for example, there’s a bunch of passive perks in form of cards. Still, the action itself is closer to twin-stick shooters than action-RPGs. [Sept 2015, p.84]

Victor Vran is a nice dungeon crawler with action elements, that gives its own spin on the genre. The game offers enough challenge, but because of the lack of classes and variety it does not really pay to replay this game.

n the end, Victor Vran is a great action RPG that should be considered. It is not the best out there currently but it is has unique aspects and contains hours of fun.

Victor Vran is a good game but unfortunately it is just that, a good game no more. The game is great fun, especially in combat, but "sins" include lack of variety.

Victor Vran works well if we want to spend few hours in the fight against hordes of monsters, but it's also rewarding in smaller doses, when we fell like one challenge is enough. It's a successful 'Diablo clone', with enough differences to attract even the veterans of hack'n'slash genre.

Victor Vran is an interesting action rpg game with an innovative character progression, but it has a poor variety of enemies and lacks content.

A competent isometric roguelike, Victor Vran innovates in mechanics and character progression but suffers a little because of poor variety and insufficient content.

There's hack'n'slashing and an interesting narration behind it. It's a good action-RPG that won't let fans of the genre down, but it still lacks polishing in some gameplay aspects.

Unoriginal. [Issue#165, p.96]

Maybe, a year from now, adventures in Zagoravia will become much more interesting, but for now, even the co-op mode and the PvP arena can’t help Victor Vran.

There are problems with just about every aspect of Victor Vran. The issues range from small to large, from the glitches to frequent crashes and audio cutouts. Still, there’s a lot to enjoy about it.
