MarketTantrik Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Picked up this during the Steam sale and by golly, it's a gem of a game. It plays true to the Diablo of yore (1 & 2) with plenty of clicking to wear out your computer mouse, a very deep and well thought out skill tree, a hilarious side kick with her own skill progression, great visuals and best of all, an interesting story. I can see this keeping me occupied for many, many hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven Angel Posted December 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Van Helsing II details: Three playable classes – In the sequel to this gothicnoir adventure, players can choose from three very different classes: the classic Hunter with shooting and melee skills, the magicwielding Thaumaturge or the Arcane Mechanic, the master of deadly devices, all included in the base game. Hunter’s Lair – The Lair returns in the sequel as the perfect hideout for players to stash collected loot, trade with nonplayable characters, teleport between locations, forge new items, utilize the alchemy lab and accept new quests from allies who join the resistance against the scientific scourge. Extended tower defense minigame – With enemies invading in waves, players have the opportunity to defend their Hunter’s Lair and other strategic locations with deployable traps and several upgradable functions to ward off evil, now with improved gameplay mechanics and up to 7 levels presented as optional side quests. Resistance management – As the leaders of the Borgovian Resistance, players will participate in the micromanagement of the allied troops, improve the equipment of the Resistance fighters or find loot that makes them more powerful. Rage system – Enabling players to charge up to three skill modifiers called Power Ups on 8 active skills 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. Fragmentation system – Besides forging, enchanting and infusing items with essences, players now have another option to alter items to their liking. Artifacts can be taken apart, shattered into magical fragments. The process generates a basic shard, and then the enchantments also dissolve into separate fragments. Fragments can be turned into purely magical runes that can be altered and put on new items, changing them into various new powerful artifacts. The Beast in the Lair – The Chimera is a unique creature, an artificial monster straight from the Ink that players will find during their adventures, claim as theirs, enhance its abilities and summon it into combat or send away to the Ink to hunt for treasure. Hall of Trophies – Players can decorate their Lair with trophies that give global modifiers to the game world, like empowering monsters, granting more spellpower to all allies or turning Katarina into a more lethal ghost. Multiplayer – Allowing players to test their skills against each other via the PVP mode (8 players) or join their forces and complete the story in the cooperative campaign (4 players).

The JACKAL Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Theres a two headed cow in this game too! So seems like only Fallout 3 "hurts Indian sentiment" when it comes to mutated animals.. I think it had more to do with those cows being called 'Brahmin' .

Heaven Angel Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Neocore Games have announced that The Incredible Adventures on Van Helsing 2 will launch on 17 April. The sequel to the Diablo-esque monster-basher will cost $14.99 on Steam, but you can pre-order it right now on the official website to get a bunch of goodies. Paying $14.99, for instance, will net you a magic helmet skin, a Supporter achievement, and a perk that gives you cheaper enchantments. You can plump to pay up to $1000, although the $50 pack – offering a couple of extra minipets and all future DLC, amongst other things – is probably the priciest you’re actually likely to spring for. Oh yes: pre-ordering any tier gets you instant access to Van Helsing 2‘s closed beta. DAY.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. But you can change the font by editing \Cfg\Fonts\FontMap.cfg file. Drop new font *.tff files in UI\Fonts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent 47 Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 I have heard both 1 and 2 are buggy..Is it true..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven Angel Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Launch was buggy, but they released so many patches after that. Both games are quite stable now. However, the loading takes some time and there are few random glitches here and there. Nothing major. (I haven't played multiplayer, so no idea about that.)
