There’s been so many entries into the ARPG genre however that it is hard to not find one with a setting – the setting and slight mechanic changes of the games undeniably being the points that differentiates them- which appeals. It’s those choices, and that party play, that I always enjoy when it comes to computer RPGs – Baldur’s Gate’s pauseable combat, and chatty characters Jagged Alliance’s dynamic turns and slight resource management and, SWAT 2’s clunky movements, and ambitious threat-based surrender system. The games took pride in the min-maxing of statistics and the grind – sacrificing choices -or the illusion of- and party management for quick, throbbing play. I enjoyed the games, I’d never go so far as to say that they broke new ground for, or changed me though. After all, to have been playing PC games at the time when Diablo and Diablo 2 came out and not to have dipped your toes into the series was both an odd and unlikely. ![]() I’ve cut my ARPG teeth many times before. Every part of the game seems geared towards accessibility see how the enemy name has the attack type underneath it? ![]() So, for those who haven’t played the core Victor Vran title -now known as Victor Vran ARPG- then here’s our thoughts on it. ![]() In addition, it was almost two years between the initial release of the game and this version, so the two additional content packs will have been built and finessed with lessons learnt from the core game. We’re going to be running the Victor Vran: Overkill Edition review a little differently, with us treating each of the three composite games as individual entries – this makes sense as some people will have already played the core game, and so won’t need to know about how that part of the VV:OE handles. Zagoravia is overrun by evil, hunters have been lured there as mercenaries but are winding up dead, yet the ruler refuses to budge, only Victor Vran can save the day.
