The loot system, while not as extensive as games like Diablo 3, is separated into weapons, consumables, powers, destiny cards, and outfits. The map in which players select levels to visit is extensive, providing plenty of opportunities for leveling and acquiring loot. Throughout their adventures, players will travel to a variety of map locales that range from underground caverns to medieval city streets. Players that ignore the lackluster narrative and instead focus on the addictive gameplay will be in for an entertaining time. For players that want to increase the challenge, they can enable various hexes that, for example, increase the movement and attack speed of monsters. The gameplay's draw focuses on challenges for each level that range from slaying a certain number of monsters to completing certain objectives in a set amount of time. There's also a map for selecting locations to visit for missions, or replaying previous levels for more points. This hub provides a multitude of services, including various shops and a transmutation table. It was a welcome surprise that Victor Vran was voiced by Doug Cockle, the voice actor behind Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher series.Īfter finishing the beginning mission, players are given access to a castle hub. While there are a few twists along the way, it's better to just focus on the gameplay of leveling up Victor Vran and gaining better equipment. The plot follows the typical fantasy tale of a kingdom under siege by evil in which a hero must come forth and save it from destruction.
But the narrative lacks the most fundamental elements of storytelling, especially when it comes to having a compelling protagonist or villianous enemies. Even if it doesn't have all the features of other genre titles, what it does contain is gameplay that is difficult to put down after hours and hours of slaying monsters, leveling up, and gaining more loot. Yet the game faces tough competition in the action RPG genre with other games such as Diablo III and Path of Exile. It's not until players unlock all the gameplay basics that the game truly shines with its attempts at new concepts for the genre, such as a hex system to increase difficulty in levels. While the game begins slowly, it significantly improves as players level their characters and gain new abilities. Victor Vran, from developer Haemimont Games, is an action role-playing game with entertaining gameplay elements that are a result of its bold design concepts.
