![]() What Victor Vran lacks in narrative complexity though, it makes up for in its attempt at a unique take on the isometric action RPG formula. Regardless, the element of humor the Voice adds to the game makes for a good contrast to its otherwise dark and serious themes. The Voice also regularly throws out pop culture jokes and references, although at times failing to hit the mark. The Voice adds some flavor to the game’s story as he tries to both help you and lead you astray, most of the time as a joke. “The Voice” is quite literally a voice in Victor’s head that becomes his somewhat pseudo-sidekick. The game’s narrative doesn’t really get more complex from there and, as a whole, falls rather flat, which can also be said for the cast of characters Victor encounters throughout the game, with the exception of one. When he arrives at the city, he finds out it has been overrun by demons and Victor eventually finds himself with the task of cleansing the city of said demons as he searches for his friend. ![]() The game’s titular character has traveled to fictional city Zagoravia in search for a friend and fellow demon hunter named Adrian. The initial premise and motivation of Victor Vran is pretty simple. Similar to stories like Van Helsing, Victor Vran is set in a dark fantasy world, that greatly resembles 19th century Europe, that mixes elements of fantasy and science, which lead to our titular protagonist being able to wield swords, guns, and demonic powers. Originally released in 2015 on the PC, the game has finally made its way to consoles with Victor Vran Overkill Edition, which includes the original game along with its two expansions. ![]() ![]() But some titles do eventually make their way to consoles and end up working pretty well, with Diablo III being one of the most notable and most recently Haemimont Games’ Victor Vran. While many people could probably say that isometric action role-playing games are a dime a dozen, not many of them actually make it to consoles which is mostly due to how complex some of them are, making it difficult to port to a console with its relatively more limited controls. ![]()
