    The real name of this game is The Incredible Adventures of BUG Helsing. If you try to play coop mode you will suffer a tons of Incredibles bugs and it is imposible to play.

    I do like these style of games. For me it just feels like a ripoff of Diablo 3 with a lame Van Helsing storyline. Controls are akward. The one thing I do like about this game is the character and companion builds are pretty cool.

    There should be an incomplete grade. Made it to level 18 and had a quest I have to locate 4 coils. 1 is bugged not allowing you to progress any further in the game. The quest is a known bug...a patch has been installed but only works if you have not yet started the quest. The two options are 1) start a new character over or 2) find someone who has not yet started this quest and joinThere should be an incomplete grade.

    Je suis assez surpris : ce jeu indé est presque joli surtout en comparaison des Diablol. On dépasse en effet largement les 256 couleurs pour un rendu plutôt chatoyant nettement supérieur aux derniers triple A de Bliretard **** Ainsi, ce triple Z devrait voir sa note relevée d'un niveau par Standard & Poor, disons à double Z ou ZZZ+ à tout le moins.

On dépasse en effet largement les 256 couleurs pour un rendu plutôt chatoyant nettement supérieur aux derniers triple A de Bliretard **** Ainsi, ce triple Z devrait voir sa note relevée d'un niveau par Standard & Poor, disons à double Z ou ZZZ+ à tout le moins. Hélas, les temps de chargement sont un peu longs et surtout... ça rame ! on est loin, bien loin des 60 im/s du Diablol Ripeur Tu Mesoûles !

    Autre surprise, les menus sont mignons et l'interface autorise une jouabilité très correcte à la manette. En anglais mais avec sous-titres français, ce Van Bling utlise au choix le corps-à-corps ou le flingue et est accompagné d'une espèce de... magicienne qui passe davantage sa vie à crever qu'autre chose mais qui a le mérite de choper une partie de l'aggro.

    Comme tous ces jeux du genre "haque & slache", Van Blingbling trouve rapidement ses limites : sa répétition répétitive et sa tendance -quoique discrète- à nous forcer à prendre du niveau afin de nettoyer ici et là de plus en plus de saloperies de plus en plus costaudes nous les brisent menues. Son univers générique et son héros au charisme d'endive périmée ne font rien pour nous motiver non plus.

    Voilà donc un jeu crétin de plus à ranger sur l'étagère pleine de poussière et de toiles d'araignée dans les chiottes de la cabane au fond du jardin.    … Expand

    This game is like Diablo, only much worse. Visually it's "ok" but the controls are horrible and the game is just boring IMO. Yes, it's a lot cheaper than Diablo, but it's not worth my time.

    Gamers will play Van Helsing because it scratches the itch for this type of action adequately at this price, but the repetitive action, awkward controls, poor graphics and strange tower defense levels make it feel like an unfinished title. Despite being a cheap (or free, on Xbox One) diversion, Van Helsing is a bad value, and a worse investment of players' time.

    We are not sure why NeoCore Games released Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing on the Xbox One. A sudden change in difficulty, no story at all and now you have to pay for characters. No, with just a decent combat system, Van Helsing is not that incredible.
