    An intense, brutal and gorgeous ARPG. If you've got withdrawal symptoms from Diablo 3, look no further. [Aug 2017, p.96]

    The high-energy fun of Victor Vran means it really is a romp, if one that occasionally stutters. While the slightly repetitive nature grates, you can easily see a few hours dissolving into Victor Vran before your very eyes. Like a vampire in sunlight.

    Victor Vran: Overkill Edition doesn't revolutionise the action RPG genre, but it certainly has helped it evolve. The scrapping of class systems and skill trees gives you more control over the character that you want to make, while the hordes of collectable loot will keep you chopping and changing your loadout for a long time. While its story is a little stale and there is still something very conventional about how Haemimont Games' latest is set out, the variety of gameplay and four-player co-op will keep you coming back to Zagoravia for hours.

    While I can't flaunt the game for anything bar a broken inventory system, I struggle to find anything outstanding to say about it as well.

    It starts well, and you think it will be a good substitute for Diablo 3. But the ratio of "I really enjoyed that" to "I turned it off becauseIt starts well, and you think it will be a good substitute for Diablo 3. But the ratio of "I really enjoyed that" to "I turned it off because it got tedious" is not good. Fights are long drawn out non-strategic bullet-sponge affairs, usually ending with some ridiculous insta-death fight that requires shuffling different weapons until one works. Tedious in the extreme and not a patch on Diablo.… Full Review »

    Victor Vran is a fantastic game that can get a bit repetitive but, with gameplay this enjoyable, that's fine with me tbqh. Similat to Diablo,Victor Vran is a fantastic game that can get a bit repetitive but, with gameplay this enjoyable, that's fine with me tbqh. Similat to Diablo, yet really not a 'clone,' which is a highly overused label that gets applied to just about every isometric fantasy game. There are quite a few unique features to VV though I won't go into detail because going into this game with open expectations, and no spoilers, will leave you pleasantly surprised.

    The controls are tight, and while not customizable, most will find the layout as close to perfect as you can get. The graphics and story are good, not great. The game mechanics have quite a bit of depth; this is one of the things that left me pleasantly surprised. You'll find that many hours can be put into this game, and the Overkill Edition increases those hours of enjoyment by way of two expansion/dlc packs that are not featured in the vanilla version of the game.

    For those of you that prefer scores more than explanations:

    Story- 6
    Graphics- 7
    Sound/Music- 7
    Controls- 9
    Depth/Features- 8
    Enjoyment Factor- 9
    Replayability- 9
    Price- 10
    Overall- 9

    Well, that's all I got, lol. Give this game a try, you won't regret it, and have fun. :-)    … Full Review »

    A nice diablo-clone with more action-packed combat and uncomplicated pumping in gothic scenery with a stylish hat
