Victor Vran

When something goes wrong, it’s important to choose a professional for the job, but, most importantly, it’s important to not just choose anyone but the right one for the job, especially when tasks are great. When an entire kingdom falls under darkness, with monsters and eldritch creatures piercing the cracks of the Earth to terrorize your town, you simply cannot call in the army or a paranormal investigator. instead, you must call in a warrior and master of the dark arts, Victor Vran. Victor Vran: Overkill Edition has made its way to the Nintendo Switch, following a successful launch on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Victor Vran: Overkill Edition contains all previously released content and has been tailored for the Nintendo Switch. If slaying monsters and demons in a massive Action RPG is something that piques your interest, prepare to take the plunge in this solid action adventure from Haemimont Games.

Victor Vran is a renowned, ruthless, and mysterious demon hunter. he travels the lands searching for the darkest of evils. When word spreads that the kingdom of Zargovia is under siege from dark creatures, he proceeds to investigate. Walking skeletons, ghosts, goblins,  gargoyles, and other vile creatures have emerged from the darkness to feed off of the living. Only demon hunters like Victor Vran have what it takes to conquer this evil and free the kingdom. Victor Vran is a man of firm, strong words. He speaks but gives the grim hard reality of what is present. He is unflinching in what he says and what he does. Players will fill the shoes of this character and become the demon hunter, Victor Vran.


Victor Vran: Overkill Edition is an action RPG, very much in the vein of other ARPG’s, such as Diablo III. For players familiar with the aforementioned ARPG, they will feel right at home with Victor Vran, but Victor Vran does things rather differently. players can choose their class, playstyle, outfits, and weapons at a moment’s notice. This mechanic gives players a wide range of abilities and playstyles that can be tailored towards the player. If players want to play like a tank, they may do so with heavier weapons and heavier armor, at the cost of speed. if players wish to play swiftly like a ninja, they may choose lighter weapons and fast-charging spells. how players player Victor Vran is entirely up to the player, making Victor Vran a fantastic entry point for those new to the ARPG genre. Players can choose from a variety of spells, close-range weapons, and ranged weapons and the game encourage players to mix these weapons to create the best possible combat capability for the player. Players can fight using a scythe, while also carrying a pyromancer spell and a sawn-off shotgun. Victor Vran: Overkill Edition isn’t shy about making sure your enemies are hurting badly by the time you are through with them.

Victor Vran: Overkill Edition has all previously released content included in one package. This includes several dozen campaigns, each with a plethora of missions to embark on. The primary campaign takes place during the Kingdom of Zargovia. With evil afoot, the Queen has had to dispatch hundreds of demon hunters. Regrettably, none have returned, leaving the situation dire. The Queen reluctantly entrusts Victor Vran to deal with the undead hordes of creatures. Over the course of the entire kingdom, players will be slaying hordes of monsters, with some tougher than others. Most notably will be the boss fights, where players will need patience and good timing to take down these challenging enemies.


Playing Victor Vran: Overkill Edition is absolutely fantastic. Hundreds of enemies can be slain by a magic spell, and being able to survive tight, harrowing moments is rewarding, especially for the loot they bring. The levels and enemy setups change significantly, keeping players on their toes. Being able to slay a gargoyle with a double-barreled shotgun is, while acquiring new weapons and items, is quite fulfilling. The game may become rather repetitive over time, but the entire game can be played in online 4-player co-op or 2 player couch co-op to break up the repetition. .Further compounding the gameplay experience is the game’s presentation. The music fits the mood, most especially when players embark on the Motorhead Campaign, a series of levels inspired by the hard-rock band, Motorhead. throughout the gameplay, players will encounter a mysterious spirit, known as “The Voice.” The Voice will inject some humor into moments of combat, usually mocking or making light of the situation, with wit and clever tongue. The cutscenes and audio in Victor Vran: Overkill Edition are Considering that the game has made its way to the Nintendo Switch, it’s remarkable what Heimont Games has achieved. While the PlayStation and Xbox versions are superior, Victor Vran holds its ground well, making the experience great for mobile demon slaying.

Victor Vran: Overkill Edition is a fantastic game, but it’s even better on the Nintendo Switch with the ability to take the demon slaying anywhere. From its immersive atmosphere to engaging and addictive gameplay, Victor Vran: Overkill Edition is a great demon-slaying experience on the Nintendo Switch. While I know many will turn to Diablo III: Immortal Edition, I also have to highly recommend Victor Vran for different gameplay mechanics, fascinating 19th Century atmosphere, and hard-rock audio aesthetic. Victor Vran: Overkill Edition is a great gameplay experience that will satisfy your thirst for demon slaying.
