Victor Vran Review - It Won't Dethrone Diablo but it's a Solid Demon Hunting ARPG | COG

COG writes - Victor Vran charges out of Early Access as a well polished and deep experience. While it may not take down the king of isometric ARPGs it stands well on its own and developer Haemimont Games should be proud.

Always happy to see more ARPGs doing well. The card system for skills seems pretty cool, and overall it looks a bit like the Adventures of Van Helsing. And did I see JUMPING in the trailer? If that's not part of a particular skill, that's enough to make it stand out from the rest of the competition.

There is jumping in the game, sometimes needed to find secrets but also to act as a blast when used with a button/key press to push the enemy back a bit.

Edit: Also can be used to jump certain boundaries i.e. a hedge maze you can just jump over instead of routing all the way round :D

I've been looking at this game every time I go on the steam store. I was so close to buying it. But I'm waiting at least a couple more months when there's more reviews out for it. I think a lot of people are giving it praise because it's something new and fresh. I saw the same thing happen with Destiny on PS4, then six months later people were down right bashing it. So we'll see how it is in a few months.

Lon3wolf3188d ago

Doesn't that happen with nearly every game :D.

MzDino3188d ago

Definitely will check this out. I've been having this urge to play a solid ARPG during this summer heat.

Lists Victor Vran but not even Grim Dawn. No wonder this did not get even one approval here in 13 hours.

MadLad921d ago (Edited 921d ago )

Grim Dawn is amazing. A gorgeous game to boot.

This list is a joke.
Ah yes, Borderlands 3 and Destiny 2 always come to mind when I think of Diablo.

Like, just because it has loot, that doesn't mean it's like Diablo. And it's not exactly like Diablo created the mechanic of "loot" to begin with.

What I was hoping to get out of this was maybe a hidden gem I wasn't aware of. What I actually got was a small chuckle about how much of a bad take this article was.

It’s insane often I get disconnected on Diablo resurrected, I need to give these a shot

Terry_B921d ago

..the most of those don't even have an online mode.

Germaximus922d ago

Marvel Heroes was incredible. Really wish it could be brought back. Warhammer: Chaosbane is pretty good

justadelusion922d ago

Wow, that is quite a low effort article

LordoftheCritics922d ago

I was thinking the same. Reminds of school homework

anast922d ago

Grim Dawn needs to be on this list.

MadLad921d ago (Edited 921d ago )

It and Diablo 2 are easily my favorites.
Might like Grim Dawn most, honestly; but I haven't played the remaster yet so.

The Shadows games are pretty good. The devs are cool guys too. I reviewed the original game way back when they sent me code. They've sent me every release since, even though they know I haven't wrote for a long time.

The only one I'm reluctant to try to this day is Path of Exile. I love these types of games, and consider myself a big fan of more complicated, in-depth games, but that skill tree and the mechanics behind the game's character building is f*****g intimidating.

anast920d ago

Grim Dawn is a solid game all the way around. I can't wait to play the D2 remaster.

Yeah, I get that, but Path is a lot of fun. I am waiting for Path 2. I've kind of played out the existing characters. Resistances are key or at least when I played it.

I'll have to check out the Shadows games. Thanks for the heads up.

Are the free Xbox Games With Gold titles for October 2018 any good?

Carlos writes: "We may have some exciting and highly anticipated releases set to arrive on Xbox One throughout October, but let’s not forget that each month also brings Xbox Live Gold members a handful of games to enjoy for no extra cost at all. Whilst last month’s titles didn’t manage to rouse the biggest appreciation from everyone, there were still some hidden gems included that made for some classic additions to our gaming collections. With September all wrapped up and October upon us, it’s time to look into this month’s selection of free Games With Gold titles and see just how good or bad they are."

Overcooked is probably the best couch co-op game of the generation, along with its sequel... so it's an alright month in my book.

neil3632026d ago

100% agree with this comment. Both Overcooked games are cracking fun.

RosweeSon2026d ago (Edited 2026d ago )

Stuntman was alright from what I remember but it’s 360 game same with hitman but looks pretty average month to me.

81BX2026d ago

Hitman? Never tried the series so, I'm in!
