    I have spent a total of $0 on this game and have enjoyed at least 30 hours of gameplay already. I've tried the blade build and the gun build so far and both are interesting. I'll pay $4 each for the magic and engineer character types if and when I'm done with what I have now. This game is about 75% of Diablo 3 at a 95% discount so far.

    Very interesting action-adventure RPG with a nice steam-punk twist. While free, it's easily worth it. At $10 and two more character types with additional maps/missions, this is still definitely worth your time.

    I know some have complained about the co-op missions but I'm 30 hours in and haven't ever TRIED co-op yet. If that's a requirement for you, Halo 5 is a MUCH better choice.    … Expand

    Anyone bashing this game who got it for FREE as a Game With Gold should be ashamed. Not only is this game a LOT better than the "professional" reviewers gave it credit for, it's easily one of the best freebies we've ever gotten. If you loved Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, Diablo, or Torchlight, you'll love Van Helsing.

    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.
