The three-game series The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing, which was developed by the private Hungarian studio NeocoreGames, received mixed reviews from gamers. Some saw plagiarism of more famous products in games, others complain about the copious amount of bugs.

The Hungarians decided to solve all the problems and make one big game out of three games by creating the final edition -. In this article, we will try to take a fresh look at all the components of the gameplay and talk about the main innovations that the developers have made to the product.

Sword, crossbow, cannon - everything is there

As many of the wrong people have already guessed, it tells about the adventures of a hunter for evil spirits, better known as Van Helsing. He must help people and destroy various monsters like mermaids (yes, mermaids), huge spiders, werewolves, etc. To do this, old Van uses all sorts of steampunk devices, depending on the class.

In total, the game offers six classes - an intercessor, a bounty hunter, an elementalist, a shadow lord, a phlogistonist, and a design engineer. Each of them has its own set of skills, appearance and weapons. Some use crossbows and muskets to destroy evil spirits, others rely on melee weapons like swords.

Since it refers to hack and slash, the mechanics of the combat system are appropriate here. The Hungarian product may remind someone, and someone will find similarities with. Be that as it may, this game only partially copies the famous titles.

Variety of Van Helsing

It is not worth talking about the storyline of the game at all - it is clearly for show and is of no interest. The quests themselves, although they do not shine with originality, can be of interest in general. Of course, they don’t offer us anything other than “kill-bring”, but thanks to the wide variety of enemies and interesting leveling of the character, you want to complete each new mission unquestioningly. By the way, about pumping - we can improve the character by such types as general characteristics, skills and abilities. In the first case, you need to choose which characteristic to add another plus sign to: survival, damage or mana.

As for skills and abilities, everything is a little different here. Skills are a wheel of eight different abilities. For example, in a bounty hunter, skills are mainly implemented as types of shooting attacks. You can pump over slowing shells, explosive, fiery, etc. It is worth noting that each skill was created quite thoughtfully, as it allows us to create all kinds of tactical goodies, thanks to which we can fight opponents in different ways. In addition, skills have several additional parameters that improve one or another attribute.

They close the system of pumping the character "skills". In order to get one skill point, you need to earn a reputation - we destroy monsters, then we go looking for new monsters and destroy them again. And so all the time, until you get bored. But getting bored does not give the excitement of getting each new level. Now the developers have allowed to upgrade their hero to level 100. The innovation, to be honest, is so-so, since it does not bring anything special except for the additional need to kill monsters.

A rather interesting and compelling component to sit at the game is the inventory. Pleased with its huge number and the ability to produce various improvements. In we will not run with one weapon for more than an hour, because the chance to get a cool "killer" of enemies is very high. Plus, this "killer" can be crossed with other similar ones, and then create something special.

More than two days of adventure

In addition to the single-player mode, it offers a network game. In it, you can move along the story together with other players, or test your Van for coolness in PvP battles. Naturally, these modes were previously available, and therefore nothing new and unusual appeared in the final edition. However, it should be noted that the online component in the game is clearly in place and does not have any drawbacks in the form of poor connection with servers or ill-conceived gameplay.

Returning to the topic of single-player mode, I want to talk about the overall duration of the game. We are offered as much as 50 hours of continuous destruction of monsters in the country of Borgovia (the setting of the game). And this is without taking into account additional quests, which are also lacking in the game. It is difficult to disagree that not everyone will master such a long adventure, but those who can still go through should be happy.

Intense gameplay, a sea of ​​all kinds of creatures, including those from Slavic legends, as well as good multiplayer make it possible to call it a quite good game, although not without serious flaws. One of them is the presence of bugs that the developers have not eliminated. Sometimes the game can crash to the desktop for no particular reason.

Adventure not without flaws

Graphics, unfortunately, can not boast. The character models don't look sharp even at the highest settings, and the combat animations don't evoke a sense of wow. Another thing is music - it is ideally matched to the gameplay. Sound effects also cause only positive impressions. But what is very upsetting is the poor localization. Characters can speak different languages ​​in the same scene, and at the same time, half of the dialogue becomes incomprehensible. The voices themselves are chosen well, but all the pleasant emotions are spoiled by terrible localization.

The developers have bet on several innovations and changes, such as the integrity of the entire plot, a redesigned ability wheel and the ability to pump a character up to level 100. Everything would be fine, but they still haven’t rid their game of old problems. First of all, this is not the best optimization. Well, if you close your eyes to this and understand English, then a worthy game about Van Helsing.

The finale of the game The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing (Van Helsing New History).

From the very beginning, it was obvious that The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing was divided into three games somewhat artificially. The episodes released in 2013, 2014 and 2015 differed in interface, role-playing system, set of heroes, as a result, NeocoreGames decided to bring all the parts into one, at the same time bringing them to a common denominator and polishing the gameplay. Meet The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing: Final Cut.

The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing: Final Cut

Genre action/RPG

Grade

HD textures, unified role-playing system, all 6 heroes, humor, chemistry between characters

Russian localization

All three parts of The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing in one, and even in HD-format

It is gratifying that Final Cut turned out to be not just the sum of all the previous parts that we had already described in detail ( , ).

NeocoreGames got rid of the inconsistency in the interface and parameters. The role-playing system has once again been slightly changed in the direction of simplification, but the skill tree has acquired a fantastic look. It's a huge map that doesn't fit into the screen, so you'll have to scroll and zoom to see it. Learning all the skills of even one class in one playthrough is simply unrealistic, God forbid you open at least a couple of branches. And this despite the fact that the passage of the entire game will now take you a significant 50-60 hours, and the new level cap is set at level 100.

After completing the storyline in a single player or online campaign, an adventure mode is opened, similar to the one that was in. This is a separate menu with generated levels and various unusual tasks for them, with daily and weekly challenges, the chance of dropping epic items, etc. At the same time, you can enter the adventure mode during the campaign, it is not at all necessary to pump to the maximum level.

The development of the camp, manual gargoyle and Tower Defense have not gone anywhere. All this is optional, but it can diversify the gameplay if you suddenly get bored just chopping monsters. By the way, about this. Now, from the very beginning of The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing: Final Cut, all six playable classes that appeared only in the third part of the saga are available to you, so choose. In this series, all the heroes are significantly different from the usual action/RPG characters. My choice is the classic Van Helsing hunter, although Phlogistoneer in his exoskeleton and Constructor with a brood of combat drones are also good. And of course, Lady Katarina is always there, where without the sarcastic comments of the beautiful ghost.

Here it is worth talking about localization. There is a Russian version in Final Cut, but the acting in it leaves much to be desired, in some places there are no Russian subtitles, and in some quests both the voice acting and the text remained only in English. So play better right away in English, get guaranteed pleasure from the brilliant dialogues of companions.

On top of that, NeocoreGames has added high resolution textures to The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing: Final Cut. Due to the already significant size of the distribution, HD content can be downloaded separately, as a free DLC, pay attention to this. HD textures transform the game - familiar locations look more detailed and colorful. Plus, some effects that were previously only found in the third part of the game are now in the first. Nothing was said about the HD version of the music, but either I finally heard the soundtrack, or NeocoreGames really did something with the sound engine, but it turns out that the series has just great music (except for a couple of overly intrusive tracks).
