You have not lived until you have unleashed an area of effect “headbanging spell” on a group of fifty or more Nazi skeletons. Shoot waves of flaming skulls, lightning bolts, and power slide your way to victory, all to the actual music of the band Mot ö rhead ! I could not stop smiling, or killing things, or headbanging. Victor also can acquire my personal favorite weapon, the electric guitar. Troma Entertainment’s ( The Toxic Avenger ) Lloyd Kaufman, whom Lemmy was a friend of, is your guide on this insane adventure. The gameplay and monsters fit perfectly in the war torn, Nazi infested dimension Victor finds himself. Lemmy Kilmister even appears, in silent form sadly, as he passed in 2015. Victor Vran: Overkill Edition also includes one of my favorite expansions to any game ever, Mot ö rhead: through the Ages. The interface at the vendors was one of the weak points in Victor Vran: Overkill Edition, a “sell all” button would be welcome. While selling it for cash is optimal at the beginning, by the time you reach level 16 and unlock the transmutation station, you should be sick of selecting each item one at a time to sell it. Equipment can also be upgraded via transmutation, my preferred way to unload excess loot. These provide various perks based on play style. Each card has a point value, the total amount Victor can equip raises as he levels.

Adding even more customization, players collect destiny cards. Also like gear they vary not only in type but in rarity and rank. These attacks are equipped just like gear, with two slots. Victor uses special attacks that require the use of the overdrive meter. Having a jump along with a dodge is also helpful for avoiding damage in combat. This adds some very well hidden paths to secret treasure, so keep an eye out for them.

The ability to jump and rotate the camera a full 360 degrees are also features I have rarely seen in the ARPG genre. I quite enjoyed this feature, it was nice to not have to study every spell in a level tree and plan ten steps ahead. Swapping between your two equipped weapons is a must, not only based on the combat range, but to use cool-downs as well. These can be chained and if done in the right order grant increased attacks or timer decreases. Each weapon type has a general attack and two special moves. This may seem like a rather simple setup, but on a console, where buttons are limited, it works extremely well.

There are no classes, players’ abilities change based on the weapons they equip. These will enhance your play style preference.

When Victor Vran : Overkill Edition begins I already notice it is unlike most ARPG, as players start with selecting an outfit.

With two expansions, local and online co-op play, Victor Vran: Overkill Edition is a must buy for fans of the genre who missed this gem on PC. In fact in many ways it is similar to that game series, in the overall mood of the world Victor inhabits. Victor is voiced by veteran voice actor Doug Cockle, best known for Geralt in the Witcher series. Set in a gothic fantasy world, part steampunk, part magic, players control Victor Vran, a demon hunter who is running from his past. An action RPG that could be called a Diablo “clone”, Victor Vran brings some interesting new ideas and a fun, easy to learn combat system that translates well to a controller. Victor Vran: Overkill Edition, from Bulgarian indie developers Haeminmont Games ( Tropico ) was originally released in 2015 for PC, has come to consoles.
