Selbstredend sind auch legendäre Folianten mit verbotenen Worten und unvorstellbarer Macht erhältlich, wie etwa „The Nekonomicon“ oder „Fifty Shades of Slay“
  • DAS HIGHLANDER-OUTFIT: Ein fantastischer neuer Look für Victor sowie besondere Eigenschaften, um den Charakteausbau spannend zu machen!

Dieses Game hab ich durch einen Key bekommen, den ich von einem Freund geschenkt bekommen habe, sonst hätte ich dieses Game auch nie gespielt. Nachdem ich angefangen hatte dieses Spiel zu spielen habe ich sehr schnell gelernt, dass man schnell die Zeit vergisst. Ich würde es jedem empfehlen. Leider war es relativ kurz, und somit schnell durchgespielt.

Anfangs recht spaßig, was aber nach gut 2-3 Stunden schnell nach lässt, immer das Selbe, nie hatte ich das gefühl irgendwie voranzukommen, man tritt Loot- und Storymäßig irgendwie immer in den gleichen klebrigen Kaugummi: LANGWEILIG!

Gegen die eigenen Dämonen



Zitat:
Victor, ich spiele nur mit dir. Hahahaha!
-Die Stimme in meinem Kopf


Gameplay
“Victor Vran” sieht auf den ersten Blick wie ein typischer Dungeoncrawler aus, wie man es zum Beispiel von “Diablo” kennt. Bedingt stimmt das auch. Wir kämpfen uns durch die Level, steigen im Level auf und sehen die Schadenszahlen nur um uns herum fliegen. Dabei ist die Spielwelt so gegliedert, dass es große Bereiche gibt, in denen man verschiedene Dungeons betreten kann. In jedem Bereich kann man dabei Herausforderungen und Geheimnisse finden, die zusätzliches Loot versprechen. Tatsächlich machte es uns, denn das Spiel besitzt natürlich einen Koopmodus, Spaß, die versteckten Truhen zu suchen. Soweit also schön und gut, aber was macht „Victor Vran“ jetzt so anders? Das Spiel ist kein dumpfes Rumgekloppe, sondern tatsächlich kann man als Spieler viele Dinge selber erledigen. So kann beispielsweise springen oder rollen, um Angriffen auszuweichen. Bei bestimmten Waffen muss man auch die Angriffe gut timen, wie im richtigen Takt schießen. Was auch eine starke Abgrenzung zu anderen Spielen des Genres verschafft, sind die wenigen Fähigkeiten. Zum Einen veränderten sich die zwei Standardskills mit jeder Waffenart, wodurch man sich in Ruhe seine Lieblingswaffenart herausfindet. Ob Blitzgewehr, Schwert, Schrotflinte, Hammer oder Sense, man hat immer die freie Auswahl. Die andere Fähigkeiten, die „Dämonenmächte“, können durch „Overdrive“, eine Art Rage, benutzt werden und auch dort gibt es ein breites Spektrum: Feuerbälle, Teleport, Sog, ein magischer Bumerang und Vieles mehr. Übrigens sammeln wir diese Dämonenmächte als Gegenstände ein, wobei Gegner diese auch benutzen können, was manchmal arg hart wird. Beim Level-up bekommt man verschiedene Punkte, wie mehr Kartenslots, welche mit Spielkarten belegt werden können, die wiederum verschiedene passive Boni geben. Wem das Spiel zu leicht wird, der kann es sich durch Flüche übrigens wesentlich schwerer machen, wobei diese auch gleich mehr Belohnung versprechen. Umso länger ein Fluch dabei aktiviert bleibt, umso schlimmer wird er. Man merkt, es gibt wesentliche Unterschiede zu einem typischen Dungeoncrawler.
Habe ich was vergessen? Oh, stimmt, es gibt keine festen Klassen, sondern je nach dem Kostüm kann man sich auf unterschiedliche Spielweisen spezialisieren. Am Anfang kann man 1 von 3 verschiedenen Kostümen wählen, später kommen dann auch neue „Klassen“ hinzu. Zusammenfassend trägt „Victor Vran“ den Titel Action-RPG also zurecht, wo die Betonung eindeutig auf der Action liegt. Das Spiel hat eine anständige Spielzeit, aber kann auch zu einem Dauerbrenner werden, da es immer weiter geht und man auch Kämpfe gegen andere Spieler in der Arena austragen kann.

Story
Das Land von „Zagoravia“ steckt in einer tiefen Krise: Der Großteil der Bevölkerung wurde getötet und ist als Untote wiederauferstanden. Die wenigen Überlebenden sind geflohen oder im Schloss gefangen. Viele Jäger sind bereits ausgezogen, dieses Unheil zu bekämpfen, so auch „Adrian“, ein guter Freund unseres Hauptcharakters „Victor“. Schon auf der Reise tritt eine Stimme in unseren Kopf, die uns ständig verhöhnt, Witze reißt und Victor an seinem Verstand zweifeln lässt. Es gilt also zu klären, was das für eine Stimme im Kopf ist, wo Adrian steckt und was diesen ganzen Wahnsinn überhaupt ausgelöst hat. Dabei ist nicht nur die Hintergrundgeschichte sehr interessant, die Dialoge sind teilweise echt lustig und tragen stark zur Atmosphäre bei. Meist sind die Geschichten in Dungeoncrawlern nicht so besonders, bei „Victor Vran“ war ich wirklich neugierig, wie es weitergeht.

Grafik/Sound
Die Grafik von dem Spiel ist nicht herausragend, aber ich war doch positiv überrascht, wie detailliert das Spiel an vielen Stellen ist. Bei den teilweisen Massenschlachten kann man schnell den Überblick verlieren, jedoch werden Attacken oft gut farblich dargestellt, damit man trotzdem vernünftig ausweichen kann. In den Gesprächen bewegen sich die Figuren zwar nicht, aber diese gezeichneten Outfits sehen verdammt gut aus, dass man sich einfach cool fühlen muss. Ich muss sagen, mich haben insbesondere die Gegner, die Level und dieses düstere Setting an sich einfach fasziniert.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1559016076
Soundtechnisch bietet das Spiel eine solide Kulisse, auffallend sind dabei die guten und bekannten Synchronsprecher. Dabei fällt schnell auf, dass wir es hier mit Martin Keßler (Nicolas Cage & Vin Diesel) und Torsten Michaelis (Sean Bean, Wesley Snipes) zu tun haben, die einen verdammt guten Job machen und die abstrusen Dialoge sehr gut rüberbringen.

Fazit
„Victor Vran“ hebt sich deutlich von anderen Spielen ab, die man für dieses Genre gerne anführt. Spieler können ihren Spielstil schnell anpassen, Kämpfe erfordern mehr Geschick und es gibt bewusst nur wenige Fähigkeiten, die man gleichzeitig verwenden kann. Dafür sind die Level abwechslungsreich, die Gegner greifen mit verschiedenen Techniken an und manchmal darf man sich durch regelrechte Armeen an Gegnern metzeln, was Laune macht. Dazu eine relativ packende Story für einen Dungeoncrawler mit vielen Dialogen, die gut vertont sind. Wem „Diablo“ zuviel RPG ist oder wer auf der Suche nach einem guten Mittelweg zwischen RPG und Action ist, wird hier sicherlich glücklich. Mir hat es sehr gut gefallen und ich kann es auf jeden Fall empfehlen!


Ich bin zwar kein Dämonenjäger, aber dafür schreibe ich gute Reviews. Für mehr davon kannst du hier vorbeischauen.

Hello friends,

Today i will review the game VICTOR VRAN. This game is a ARPG, which means it is a action rpg. Similiar to a diablo type game, but if you never played diablo games, it is basically you go to enemy and press button on your controller to swing your sword and fight them. This game also contains mutliple dlc's that i recommend getting also for the game, but it depends on how you like the base game. This game also features boss fights, secret area's on each map, objectives on each map to do for challenges, and colored coded weapons that indicate the rareness of the weapons and items. Note that there is not much armor in this game, and there are only a few pieces to be found. Most of the things found in this game are weapons and demon powers. You can also weld a power called demon power that is like a special move once you get the correct items to activate them. Also, you can transmutate items and weapons to strengthem then and make them more powerful. This game may require you to farm enemies to get good drops, and depending on what level of difficulty you play at, the drops will be more often the harder the game is. This game also features mutliplayer, whether this be over the internet, remote play together, or local co-op. I have not really tested the online functionality, but i did join a random person's game but they kicked me out of it immedietly. You can also increase difficulty with these things called HEXAS that make the game super hard.

A great functional ARPG. I recommend it, especially if you get all the dlc's that go with it.

Not bad as RPGs go, but definitely has some downsides that take away from it.

Pros:
- The hexes were an interesting idea. Those looking for a challenge could optionally activate some but not others (as long as you're playing on normal)
- Wide weapon variety
- The extra challenges and elite challenges add more to the game for those looking for added difficulty
- good variety of destiny cards (passive abilities) and demon powers (active abilities)

Cons:
- Some of the game mechanics are extremely frustrating to play against - knockback, pulling you, spikes that launch you into the air, stuns, etc. I found these often affected enjoyment significantly.
- The story was forgettable, it probably could have been better
- Describing a difficulty as 'casual' makes it sound very easy with no real risk of death. The casual mode in this game is still quite hard, though this often depends on the enemy.
- I'm not convinced the damage of the different types of weapons are particularly well balanced
- You get a certain amount of destiny points to use, and different cards have different values. I found the number of destiny points available limited the card choices a bit too much. You'll eventually get more, but only if you plan on continuing to play all elite challenges etc after beating the game, at which point it doesn't really matter much anymore.

Verdict: 6/10

First time I played Victor Vran ARPG I thought I was playing some generic Hack & Slash game. But then I found a chicken gun... man that was a huge change in gameplay. You can just run & chicken blast everything: monsters, pottery, shelves... everything gets poulterized in seconds. I found the story in Victor Vran intriguing and not boring as Diablo 3 story. The voiceovers are also good.

Overall this is the best animal abuse simulator among Action/RPGs.

Atmospheric but rather repetitive hack-and-slash



Victor Vran is an interesting take on the hack-and-slash action RPG genre. It does away with traditional few-weapon-types-but-thousands-of-skills system, instead opting for slightly larger selection of weapon types and giving each a specific feeling by making each weapon type have unique skill set tied to that weapon. This can be both its blessing and its curse because thanks to that, the game is much more interesting to play in its first 4-5 hours than many of its kinsman from the same genre, the issues is however, that after you have tried each weapon type for some time, it gets old really, really fast as there is no real difference in gameplay after finding a superior version of the same item.

The game also has better movement system than most ARPGs thanks to its jumping mechanic allowing for better exploration. Combat rolls additionally provide means to completely evade the enemy, rather than tanking all of the hits which actively rewards the player for his skill.

Overall, Victor Vran is a game that is like a sparkler - it is quickly lit aflame with a spark that burns bright, but it fades away rather fast, faster than I would have liked as it have meant that going through arguably interesting story was a slog the more through the game I have progressed - which is a shame but I would still recommend it, if only for those amazing first 5-7 hours.

Positives

+ Victorian England fantasy atmosphere

+ Graphical design

+ Decent main story carried by the amazing voice acting (Victor Vran himself is voice by Doug Cockle, voice of Geralt from Witcher series)

+ Amazing OST

+ Level and enemy desingn

+ Gameplay for the first several hours

+ Movement system

+ Rewarding exploration

Negatives

- Gameplay after about 5-7 hours becomes a repetitive slog (this game made me actively resist getting back into it to finish the main story after a certain point)

- Boring loot (with a few exceptions)

- Disappointing DLCs

Fun game, but the port to PC is full of bugs. You can tell they put little effort into making it PC worthy. I've never had to fight with controls before in a Diablo-style game, but this one has made me do it, and 30+ hours later I'm still doing it.
In spite of the bugs, VV is still worth playing if you get it on sale. I'm giving it a thumbs-up, but only barely. On a scale of 1 to 10 I'd give it a solid 6.

all in all a good game, around 7/10. i like that you can equip a range weapon and a melee weapon at the same time.
the best thing about the game is the story telling, it makes it somewhat unique in the genre.
problems with the game are that the enemy variety isn't that great and i dislike some of the enemies, like the skeletons that respawn once on death and you need to kill them a second time, it's just a frustrating mechanic. the elemental orbs are kind of boring floating orbs with a lot of area damage, don't like them either. the loot system is very basic with only weapons and upgrade cards. i think it fits the game and is well made for it's simplicity.
There is also a few bugs like the mouse cursor dissapearing and the rapier hit not registering when beeing to close to the enemy.
all in all i think the game is worth playing for the story and the gameplay is pretty good, but it's far away from something like diablo 2 or path of exile, especially considering long term gameplay.

This works beautifully on Xubuntu 20.04, with a Nvidia GTX 1060 and the 495 proprietary driver.

I'm playing it co-op with my little son and daughter - it's good that it's not too scary. I also like that the character builds are 100% customisable. If you want to change load-out halfway through a game it can be done by just swapping items. Personally - and this is only based on a 20-30 maps - I feel it is a slightly weaker game than either Diablo 2 or Path of Exile - since the monsters' difficulty comes from their DPS more than their aggression or the pressure from constant waves, However, those games aren't humorous or as suitable for younger age groups as this is.

Mixed. Mostly enjoyable but starts to feel grindy toward the end. It was not fun enough trying to level up (or transmute weapons so they would be better) as I continued.

I get why people complaint about being basic but the games doesn't try to be something that is not I CAN appreciate that, it is great game to have fun with. Voice acting is excellent, one of the best out there.

This is game is for me because I don't need the complexity, I have other things to do besides researching 4 ours on how to make a good build, etc like other CRPG's out there, nah THOSE games are a hard pass for me, I simply don't have the time nor energy to waste it like that. From this it comes my only gripe with the game, it should have a save system that actually saves your current state. I've come to appreciate that from my XSX, developers should pay attention to this, just let the player have a choice, do you want it to reset your progress or save your current state, that's all.

Depends on your region, at full price may be a lot ask for some, but on sale is a must buy. Just keep in mind, you just open the game to have fun, shoot or slash monsters and that's it.

I recommend this game as I have enjoyed it very much.

I have played Victor Vran extensively with my younger brother, as well as casually with both my younger children, bravely hunting down the undead horrors that haunt the cursed city and storming its monster-infested quarters for abandoned treasure, all the while keeping its beautiful queen safe; Victor Vran is a swashbuckling adventure of swordplay, gunslinging and tarot cards.

10/12 - Overall
(Note: I'm not a reviewer nor am I overly critical. I like to play games with friends and judge games based on how fun they are for me in as much of a vacuum as I can.)
2/2 - Gameplay
1/2 - Story
1/2 - Menus and UI
2/2 - (For RPGs) Equipment & Loot
2/2 - Map/Enemy/Challenge Design
2/2 - (If Available) Multiplayer

Excellent Action RPG in terms of gameplay. The story is somewhat basic but does a good job of carrying you from one sequence to the next. Narrator has some good lines that got a few chuckles out of me. (^_^)
The UI is clean but sorting through items can be a pain once you start amassing alot. My only recommendation would be to add another filter where you can sort by name or only show certain types of things.
The Loot, Armor, and Destiny Card systems are great and creating builds for this game is quite deep and super fun. I do wish that some of the mechanics of the game were explained more explicitly however figuring out some of them on our own, when we felt like testing, was enjoyable.
If you go through the main story, both DLCs, and try to get challenges for all maps then you'll definitely have one of everything by then so no need to grind beyond the content if that's your pursuit.
There are also many secrets hidden throughout the maps in the game that were quite a treat to find on my own and a fun competition when playing with friends.
Multiplayer is very functional and we didn't have any issues with it at all. Honestly was surprised it was still offered considering how long it's been since the game was released.
Overall great buy and well worth the money, especially if the game is on sale.

It's really good fun.

I recently played Diablo 2: Resurrected as I remember how much I loved that game as a child but it's just... not good by today's standards and a lacklustre remaster. Playing this reminds me how much I wish Diablo 3 had controller support on the PC (it doesn't - are you kidding me?!).

This game though, lots of fun challenges and the weapons feel good, switching between melee and ranged works really well.

Cutscenes, voice acting and atmosphere are good.

Bargain.

Generally well made, but lacking any sense of progression. Levelling up doesn't really make you stronger, and the loot available is limited to a very small pool of weapons recycled over and over again. Perhaps in co-op it would be more enjoyable.

I'm really glad they got voice actor Doug Cockle to reprise his role as Geralt of Rivia, but am at the same time confused as to why Geralt is going undercover as a guy named Victor Vran. Regardless, this game does a great job of covering the events leading up to The Witcher 3.

it's a nice ARPG, it's pretty simple but that makes it easy to play and fun, the combat feels great (with a controller. wouldn't know how it feels with keyboard) and the bonus objectives add more things to do on each level (which is great for completionists)

Unpolished and flawed.

At no point in the game do you feel like you've improved your character. Whatever bonuses you're able to scrap together is so mininal to the extent your decisions on build doesnt matter at all.

Mechanical wise I would give this game a big F. Dodging feels terrible and there so many different monster abilities that has no outplay oppertunity forcing you to jump and run around and waite untill theyre done spazzing around.

I enjoy diablo like style games. I like to get technical and invest time in lategame so hardmode was the choice for me, and its so dull & repetitive that everytime I decide to play the game I end up hoping the end is near so I uninstall.

The amount of cons is so extreme compared to whatever pros you can find, if there even is any. Im utterly suprised how this game has so many posetive reviews.

My biggest guess would be majority decided to avoid hardmode- not realizing how messed up this game is. infact, only 0,5% of players completed the game in hardmode and got the achievement

A wonderful gem of a game, It's been years since we've gotten a decent isometric ARPG and this one really hits the spot.
It is a pretty good and innovative piece of Diablo-like ARPG (although the mechanics is not quite similar).
Co-op supports 4 players, which is kind of fun when you have a bunch of friends to enjoy together.
The Motörhead DLC is worth it, but the Fractured Worlds DLC is only good if you plan for this to be your main ARPG for a long time.
No matter which version you choose, Victor Vran is well worth checking out.

Honestly, it's not worth it.

Now I played this way back in 2015 and played for a few hours recently. To put it simply, I don't think the Devs improved on the controls at all. Which is bad.

Jumping is stiff and getting from one cliff to another can be a pain.
Bosses sometimes a hitbox the size of an arena so no matter where you click your character will rush for the boss to deal damage to it. This is annoying when bosses cast large AOE that you're supposed to avoid.
If you have recently changed Camera view your mouse disappear until you right click again.

For the loot. Well the few purple weapons I've found where sorta fun. A Lady Luck blade allowed me to use the skills again if I had crit and with pretty high crit I could spam it quite often.

But monsters doesn't drop a lot loot. Chests drops even less and they generally just drop money. Which I have no need for as I got 1.2 million where as monsters drop 25 gold. A chest might drop a total of 700 gold. Not exactly rewarding to open them.

Some Elite monsters have a habit of one shotting you or have an attack that hits repeatedly that will kill you.
Not so fun fighting against them.

Music is nice and Geralt Voice actor is the main character. Last boss had too cheesy dialog to the point where it kinda becomes cringe.

From the first impressions, this feels a lot like Diablo 3. In the sense that it streamlines the Diablo formula to the point that it feels like a beat-em-up for the most part and focuses more on the spectacle than the depth of gameplay. While in the case of Diablo 3 I didn't like that, since it was an official Diablo game, I found Victor Vran quite enjoyable. Tbf, that is in big part due to Victor Vran, unlike Diablo 3, being available to play offline. So far it feels like a decent game with a great atmosphere. The music is a little generic, but at times resembles Matt Uelmen's masterpieces. Definitely gonna be playing it more, if only just to see what else the game has to offer.

As far as hack and slash games go, this one is meh. But the story and voice acting, as well as the aesthetic, are all what make this game fun. It's not the most replayable, but it is certainly worthwhile with friends and for the sarcastic wit that is everywhere. Overall, deck-building RPG with hack-and-slash combat with a great story and great atmosphere. Play with friends, it's more fun that way, because the voice-overs and dialogue are all synchronized.

The game is dead. Devs aren't paying attention to this game anymore despite it being only 5 years old. It has had a problem on the newer mac OS for a while. We sent crash reports to the devs' email, wrote in the forums, and nothing came of it. While Shovel Knight devs fixed their issue with the OpenGL for BigSur, Victor Vran is not even seeing a promise of a fix from the devs. Forget this game (costing 20 EUR too), play POE for free.

(The only reason I wanted to actually play this game instead is because it has Split Screen Co-op, so I could play with my spouse. But for that we found Children of Morta, which is absolutely brilliant.)

Why is this game so awful?

Enemies
I really want to like this game, but I think the main failure is in enemy variety and scaling.
Enemies hit hard, and the majority have ranged attacks. So you end up spending most the time trying to dodge attacks, and watching your health plummet when you fail.

Gear
The outfits are interesting, with it being a single piece of gear, which provides some bonuses, and some defensive stats.
However, since it's one gear slot, it really doesn't offer much when compared to say Diablo.
Weapons provide a base attack and 2 CD abilities, unfortunately they are mostly a single hit and have longish CDs
When it comes to gear selection, there really isn't much to choose from, and what little there is, provides very little.

Variety
The game overall just lacks variety, few gear selections, the same few enemies littering each map, and scaling issues.
It just teeters between boring, and frustrating, and lacks any really fun mechanics.

If you just have to play it, go ahead, but wait for a sale.

I had to refund this one. First of all credits to the dev's, cant be easy being a small team or whatever. But this is by far the worst ARPG I have ever tried, and I have played to many...Van Helsing, all diablo games, Torchlight, Grim Dawn, Poe etc...

The game has litterally no customization. No gear slots but weapons, potions etc. No talent tree, no stat points...Seems extremely shallow. I prefer more shallow games too, well I dont want PoE skill tree stupid, but this is way to little.

Plus side is that the game was very challenging on hard mode the first area I went to, and it ran fine on my older system with hardware from like 2015...gtx 970, I5 4590 etc...

Also...What is up with no story mode / quests >.< Jesus, having the hole game evolving around challenges...No way. Anyway not a bad game, it obviously aint, but its also not a good game. Just buy Grim Dawn, Diablo 3 or maybe the new Torchlight 3.

It's not a bad game, everything seems to work and certainly has a level of polish BUT If you are expecting something like Diablo or Grim Dawn, you will be disappointed.
This is pretty shallow stuff.
For me the best thing about this game is the voice over by 'Geralt of Rivia' but then for that, I can always just play The Witcher 3 ;)

If you want a truly wonderful Diablo-like (unlike this or Diablo 3), then get Grim Dawn !

Fun hack and slash game. Started on hardmode wich was a nightmare since i had no experience what so ever in any games of this type. However it did made me learn rather fast.
Lots of weapons but it doesn't really matter. Pick 2 types wich you like, maybe 3 and rotate with those.
It does kinda fall off at the end, boss fighs are easier then the adds, or adds minibosses. Its harder to fight lets say 4 champion adds then the final boss. Mainly due the fact that the champions have a random spell wich can either be shit or utterly destroy you.
In that case, Max out on potions, had a stock of 400 potions (cheap ones 60% health) with alchemist perk to lower the cd on it. Helps survive dumb mistakes or things like that. Equip both slots with potions and you can heal for days.

This is a strange game - if any ARPG can feel like a puzzle game, this one is it. Maps are small but plentiful with each map having challenges (and later, elite challenges) and secrets. The point is to replay these small maps - with a handy dandy reset area option - to fulfill various challenges. There’s also a hub with merchants in a gathered area and a storage chest. It got a bit much near the end. Too many filler maps, but I suppose people get their money’s worth.

Plot’s nothing to write home about, but the voice acting is fine and the commentator brings some flavor to what would be rather silent maps (monster exploding sounds notwithstanding). It does get a bit annoying when you’re replaying maps in short succession though since the statements don’t vary.

It certainly isn't great, maybe because I got to play it many years after its original release date, I don't know. At the beginning I was really enjoying it but unfortunately at the end it started to fall short, to the point that I had no desire whatsoever to 100% complete every map and challenges, and instead just rushed the last 4-5 maps to finally beat the campaign and be done with it. Mostly it was because the itemization is lackluster, I ended up using the same weapons most of the game. Crafting didn't help either, it's meaningless, to the point that isn't even worth putting time on it.
The best thing about this game, is that (surprisingly to me), the voice actors are both great and well known from other games. The main character is Geralt from the Witcher and the narrator is the narrator from the Stanley Parable, so that was really cool and enjoyable.
I would say it's an ok ARPG to play through the campaign one time and that's it. The achievements are too grindy to complete.

I found this game in a list of Diablo-like games recommended for split-screen playing on one computer with your family or friends. And although it does not work on macOS (controller not recognized), it works well on Windows 10 with Xbox One S Wireless controllers.

The game is nice, without any noticable bugs.
The Victor Vran main character sounds like Geralt of Rivia from Witcher 3, so for me it became my favorite monster-slayer voice.
The story is good and the gameplay is balanced.

The game is 5 years old now, but I don't regret buying it at all, since I enjoy playing it with someone else even more. The Diablo fans should give it a try, because it is similar and they will feel at home, in a different story, with a slightly different battle style.

Victor Vran is one of the worst ARPGs I've ever played in my life. I remember picking this game up with good expectations but after playing it a little bit, it made me regret the day I bought it. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate this game, it has potential but it's in wrong people's hands. Game is all about grinding and it gets repetitive real fast. Most of the time you won't even notice there's a story since it's as cliché as it gets, so your attention will be focused on getting better gear which is based on pure RNG. Weapon selection is wide, I'll give them that but most of the legendary weapons are useless because you'll feel weaker as you level up. Of course you can customize your build with cards and demon powers which is the whole game is based on but they are RNG based as well. They're not as rare as weapons so that's a plus. Victor Vran also has one of the worst challenges I've ever encountered in any game. Regular challenges are alright, but most of the elite challenges are a frustrating mess.

Motörhead DLC is great, I loved it. Soundtracks got better (obviously), level design and challenges are also way better, the story is decent... only problem is that they added some cheap enemies but considering all the good things about it, it's not a big deal. They also added 2 new weapons, new outfits, and tons of new demon powers with this DLC.

Fractured Worlds DLC is the WORST! Let's start with the good things about it: it increases the level cap and adds talismans. Bad things about it? Everything else. You literally have to go through 50 randomly generated dungeons that are filled with reused assets and enemies and you have to wait for a day to progress through the story. I mean, that's some mobile game sh*t and the whole story is based on it.

Victor Vran is not worth your time. It's boring, uninspired and a frustrating mess. Motörhead DLC is decent but it can't save this game sadly. If you're an achievement hunter, skip this game immediately because there are some achievements requiring you to equip specific legendary items and weapons. You can also play it co-op but there's no balance so it's not fun at all.

I like a nice hack'n'slay game. And Victor Vran started pretty good. Also the missions and additional chalanges were very nice. Up until you reached level 20. From then any further level the enemies became so annoyingly strong and hard to kill, that advancing in a level would either slow you down until you safely defeat every enemy. And by slowing down I mean that you need 5 min. to finish off a mob while it took you before mere seconds. Or you are then running through the map, because you are tired of this annoying long fights resulting often in death.
I have read many reports on this and the devs have good arguments for making the enemies stronger while the character progresses. BUT they should progress relatively to the character and not on a bigger pace. That's just bogus and makes a player want to quit in mid game.
Or you just play the story through and finish in on level 20 without doing any exploration or chalanges. That seems to be possible as well. I just suffered through, because of reasons.

Enjoyed this game thoroughly.
Story is short, but worth mentioning. Narration is very nice. Chuckled from time to time.
Classless play is rewarding.
Each weapon has its kills. And switching between 2 weapons in a fight has never been as good as it is here.
Plenty of builds to make.
Challenges ans secrets were rewarding.
Was playing on hard, so I had enough challenge and a fair amount of deaths.
I guess I had more fun with Victor Vran rather than Diablo III

Played this game without the expansions which I hear are great so I will have to try that at some point. My impression so far is that Victor Vran is a very solid hack & slash dungeon crawler with a fun and challenging campaign. New players need to beware of its core gameplay design, this game despite its limited player control focuses much more than usual on player skill and it might be a little unintuitive.

A common complaint I see in the player community is that Victor Vran has an unintuitive difficulty curve where even if you've maxed out your gear and have a balanced build the higher levels get unreasonably tough. But the game has been intentionally designed this way. The game doesn't hold your hand. You unlock new ways to configure your build and upgrade your equipment and you can't ignore them. To focus your effort one specific build requires a good deal of grinding even in the mid-game. So if you wanted to rush through the story without much grinding, it's possible but it will be tough. Plenty of ARPGs work this way, so that's not a problem in itself. But, the devs keep mentioning that this game is designed with hit-and-run tactics in mind. Attack-dodge. They want the gameplay to focus around player skill. So running a melee face tank build is out of the question, the difficulty curve will stonewall you and force you into a different play-style. It is really frustrating when you've spent many hours grinding and working on your first serious build that then turns out to be woefully ineffective. If the game would communicate this design better it would have saved a lot of player frustration.

Player controls are limited and a little clunky. You can perform a dodge-roll, but it doesn't have invincibility frames and there are no tricks or combos you can do with your roll. Dodge roll effectiveness can be improved in your build, but you get nowhere near invincibility frames. So rolls aren't a free get-out-of-jail card, you also won't use them to perfectly time a dodge get behind your enemy for a back-stab for increased damage because there's no such thing as a back-stab mechanic in the game. Despite being core in the gameplay design, only when you get overwhelmed will you remember about dodge-roll, so no wonder beginning players aren't focused on it. Victor can also jump, which isn't something I've seen before in ARPGs but it sounds better than it is. While mid-air you can perform a stomp, but you can't activate any powers or perform any attacks in mid-air. Jumps are slow, stomps have too little impact to be a useful part of your battle strategy and you can't improve either of them. You might be able to jump to safety by jumping over a fence or jumping to the high ground but there's no way to base your build around it. So the control you get over your character is pretty standard and the gameplay doesn't really tell you that it's designed around hit & run. Thus many players end up getting invested into a build that doesn't fit the intended style of play. If you wanted to pick this game up, well now you know what to look out for.

One example on survivability that illustrates their design choice is that damage deflection granted by your armor stat is a coin-flip. It either reduces damage or doesn't based entirely on RNG. So even if your build has insanely high armor you're going to get two-shot or even one-shot in some situations. To play on Hardcore you need to play extremely cautiously no matter how strong your build is.

Victor Vran is very solid and quite underrated. If it had more appealing dodge controls (better, or more fun) it would probably have been better received. I can think of many fun things they could have done with dodges and jumps, maybe we'll see it in a sequel.

I love this game and have spent sooo many hours playing it. The base game is excellent and if you liked the Stanley parable you will love the voice over guy. He is amazing. Devs give this man more work now! the game itself give you a varies assortment of beasties to slay and the maps are very well done. if you are into achievement hunting there are loads of them. some are easy some are insanely hard. The Motor head DLC is well worth getting but it's a shame they couldn't fit in a more tracks. the fractured worlds one is a bit meh but if it's on sale you might want to consider it. if you like this genre of game then get this one

Let me first say that I am an ardent fan of Diablo RPG. I have been playing Diablo since 1996. I was very happy until Diablo III, when you need an internet connection to play. :(

So, I have been on the lookout for a similar isometric, RPG, Diablo-like game to play on Linux. This is the closest I have found that plays very well on Linux!

My setup... Pop!_OS 19.10, Intel Xeon CPU E31245 @ 3.30GHz x 8, 12 GB RAM, AMD Radeon RX560 4GB, 1.0 TB WD Black HDD.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this game for Diablo fans.

This game is fun in the beginning, but when you reach higher level you will die a lot. I've tried it once, I have now tried it twice. The game sucks. It is not your standard ARPG hack and slash. I like it when you can kill an enemy in 3-5 hits. In this game you need 15+ hits, and then the enemy respawn......It's hella grindy.
