Victor Vran is probably an angry young man. The kind of bloke who cuts first and asks questions later after he’s had a few in the local tavern. That’s ok because although Victor is a sociopathic monster his skill and variety of slashing, slicing and shooting giant spiders, skeletons and general ne’er do well is pretty awesome.
Though missing any motivation or context, this action RPG from Tropico developer Haemimont Games gets a lot of essential features spot on right from the get go. It’s really important that a Diablo/Torchlight-like has the right feel to induce the clicky-clicky addictive kick to get you playing far beyond what would be considered sane. With an array of different weapon sets and stat boosters Victor Vran has the variety in this early stage to make playing it feel worthwhile, with the bonus of a game engine that feels near-complete and satisfying to play.
Top Game Moment: The way each hammer smash feels as it blasts enemies across the screen.
