I chose to use the keyboard, though I’m not used to it, and what I particularly like about the game is that the keys are simple and straightforward. You can play Victor Vran using either a keyboard and mouse or an Xbox controller. The colors and the diversity of enemies are so intriguing, and the gameplay mechanics are so combat intensive that immersion happens regardless. Strangely, the absence of a comprehensive plot doesn’t put a damper on the game in the least bit. Your first task is to slay “a particularly nasty vampire hiding somewhere beyond the Royal Gardens.” Hmm, wonder who that might be? (This is revealed to us on speaking to Queen Katarina at Castle Zagore).Īll we know is that Victor wants to find his friend Adrian, who apparently knows his past, and during his search, he’ll have to explore dungeons, take on bosses and their minions and unveil secrets that will make him more effective in combat.
#VICTOR VRAN SECRETS MAP FULL#
The story is being withheld by the developer on purpose, perhaps to surprise us on the full and final release. There’s not much of a narrative yet, except a few lines of text that run on 2D backgrounds with placeholder art or when you’re entering a new area, but these reveal very little. The game’s soundtrack is in line with its setting – much like that of a traditional action horror. The game has a dark, medieval setting, but it still manages to have a lively feel with the deeply vivid colors of the environment, the enemies and special attack effects.

So, if you get this game while it’s still in Early Access, be sure to give the developers your feedback, so they can make it the best game it can be. And they’ve also allotted two easily accessible keys for providing feedback and reporting a bug. Victor Vran is available now in Early Access on Steam, and even as a work-in-progress, it stays true to its vision and the game is remarkably engaging and immersive.Īt the bottom left corner of the menu screen, you’ll see a list of the recent updates made to the game, which is useful to know. Haemimont Games, the studio best known for the popular strategy/management Tropico series, brings you a fresh and unique perspective on the ARPG genre. If you’re looking for a game that packs out-and-out action and elements of RPG into a somewhat comical supernatural isometric world, while assuming a customizable Helsing-esque avatar, Victor Vran is your game.
