Van Helsing – Retro Reflections

Van Helsing is based on the 2004 movie with Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale. Though they are among my favorite actors and I love fantasy, I didn’t enjoy that film. So, how about the game?
The story is focused on Van Helsing traveling to Romania in Eastern Europe to fight Dracula, who lives in a castle in the wilderness. There, he receives help from Anna, a noble woman whose family is devoted to destroying the immortal villain. Generally, the story follows the movie, especially the beginning. At first it seems mysterious and interesting, with various characters. However, it gradually runs out of steam. At least I enjoyed the descriptions that appear when you examine an item; they are well written and convey atmosphere.
