And, as this is Victor’s story, there are also no options to pick different characters of varying styles, backgrounds, or gender. But in its defense, Victor Vran does introduce some elements that, while not exactly breaking the mold, help it stand out at least somewhat from the pack.įor example, there are no traditional classes to speak of in Victor Vran. Indeed, in Victor’s boots you’ll find yourself traveling along the same well-trodden path of games like Diablo III and The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing. The story isn’t anything special: a dark fantasy theme bolstered by archetypal enemies ready to be slaughtered by the hundreds.
But these are garden variety beasts, not enough to surprise veteran action RPG fans. Demons prowl the streets skeletons burst out of the ground to attack with slashing blades gigantic spiders descend from cave ceilings on sinewy threads to lash out with dripping fangs and powerful vampires rip out your very life essence. At the beckoning of his friend and fellow hunter, Victor travels to Zagoravia, a gloomy city fallen into darkness. You are strapped into the worn, blood-caked boots of the eponymous Victor Vran, demon hunter by trade. Even though the loot-charged game has plenty of issues, the makings of something good are underneath its foibles. It isn’t completely without its own small surprises, though, such as offering an enjoyable way to craft a custom character, as well as enticing combat and eye-catching visuals. What I mean is that the game doesn’t quite reach the heights of its roleplaying peers. Well, in a way, fires will occur, but they’re more of a demonic nature.
