Excellent voice acting, original atmospheric music , 15+ hour storyline and great attention to detail easily matches full price releases. Very underrated and together with path of exile the best in their genre (with PoE being the more hardcore/advanced option). The class dlc is somewhat scummy but seeing as how the base game is so cheap its pretty bearable (plus the 'new' classes are just very specialized variants on the base class but still completely new in terms of trees and skills) Minor critiques is that the gem slot system barely makes an impact but that wont ruin your enjoyment and fairly long load times on zone transitions (but barely slowdown once properly loaded) Warning: game seems to use a consistent 1,5K-2,5K ram depending on settings
A very atmospheric, dark-fantasy/steampunk Action-RPG. I wasn't sure about buying it, as ARPGs aren't my favourite (though i really enjoyed Diablo 2), but i didn't regret it. Actually, it's pretty well done. You play the son of the famous Van Helsing, accompanied by the ghost of Lady Katarina, which will aid you in your battle against werewolves, robots and all sorts of other monsters. The world is dark and with lots of steampunk elements in it, very detailed and atmospheric. As you progress, you also hear some nice dialogues between the two main characters, which are pretty humorous sometimes. The game is also filled with some pop-culture-references (Lord of the Rings, The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy, as to name only 2). Though it has some minor flaws and might not be as polished as bigger productions, it's a nice and well done game, which i would recommend to anyone who likes ARPGs.
Just finished the game last night on my first playthrough using Hunter class and on Hard difficulty. >Gameplay 9/10 You really have to pay attention on the skill/attribute points, with limited points to spend you need to find the best setup that works for you, but that's only for the first playtrough since leveling is maxed at 30, but the good thing is you can respec your character skills/attributes points through Gaspar the Gypsy and for Katarina through Vlados. Character to enemy matching is good, you don't get too OP against enemies so there is still thrill even at maxed level. Haven't tried the never ending story mode where you get to replay with stats and all equipments retained. >Story 8/10 Well thought but very predictable. >Graphics 9/10 I love the steam punk gothic noir theme of the game. >Music 9/10 9/10
