The Complete version of NeocoreGames’ The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing is now available along with a host of improvements and new additions to the action/RPG title.
“With The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing we wanted to leave the doors open for community feedback since the first stages of development.” said Zoltán “Pozs” Pozsonyi, producer of the game. “Thanks to our community we could improve the game in every possible way and we definitely count on their help in the future too.”
We took a look at The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing a while back on the PC and found it to be a solid game and fun time, with the new improvements that developer NeocoreGames has brought with the complete pack though, it’s definitely worth another look. Actually, just for the controller support it’d be worth it (yay Big Picture!).
Here’s what’s new:
- Three playable classes – To embark on this gothic-noir adventure, players can choose from three very different classes: the classic Hunter with shooting and melee skills, the magic-wielding Thaumaturge, or the Arcane Mechanic, the master of deadly devices.
- Detailed level-up system – Players are able to spend points on hit points, mana, damage, and much more as they traverse through skill trees to mold Van Helsing to their liking.
- Hunter’s Lair – A central hub for players to stash collected loot, trade with non-playable characters, accept new quests from allies who join the resistance against the scientific scourge, teleport between locations, forge new items, and utilize the alchemy lab.
- Tower-defense mini-game – When the Hunter’s Lair is attacked by enemies, players have the opportunity to defend their HQ with deployable traps and several upgradable functions to ward off evil.
- Rage system – Enabling players to have up to three active skill modifiers called PowerUps, players have the ability to charge their PowerUps by way of spending Rage points collected from impressive feats.
- Unique companion system – Lady Katarina, a ghost with snappy wit, comes to the support of Van Helsing with her own set of abilities, behaviors, and two skill trees.
- Multiplayer – Allowing players to test their skills against each other via the PVP mode (16 players) or join their forces and complete the story in the co-operative campaign (4 players).
- Endgame content – Based on the community’s demands, the complete pack now includes various scenario levels, the Neverending Story, and respawning monsters.
- PC Controller Support and Mac version
Personally, and I’m sure sure you’ve figured this out by now, I’m most pumped up for the simple addition of the controller support. The new classes are great though, as is the endgame content and the tower-defence mini-game; which is such an off-the-wall inclusion for a game like this- so great though.
