The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing: Final Cut is an outstanding action role-playing game. It sets itself apart. The significant amount of content, and the entertainment value, makes for a game that will eat away hours. With a near-endless supply of quests to complete, monsters to slay, and loot to collect, the adventure to Borgovia shouldn't be missed.
Neocore Games is offering a truly enticing game with the Final Cut edition, rich in content that fans of the hack ‘n’ slash RPG genre should not miss out on.

To all fans of hack and slash games: don't miss this one. I fear this game won't get the attention it deserves, but I really hope I'm wrong, as this game shines where many hack and slash nowadays are so often bland and boring. I'll go as far as to say that this game has a soul… something you can’t put your finger on, but that will keep you playing and enjoying the experience from the beginning to the end.
I first want to applaud Neocore Games for this revamped edition, enhancing almost every aspect of the previous entries. While the first releases were kind of rough gems, this final cut now renders everything more accessible, from the difficulty, to the various classes and skill trees.
There’s a lot to like about this game, from the steampunk setting, to the quality of the audio and voices of the main protagonists, to the high number of hiddens that can be found for those willing to pay attention to conversations and to explore the environment. While hack and slash games are mostly about mindless killing and loot, the incredible adventures of Van Helsing do try to bring fresh and enjoyable elements on the table.
Many skills are available and almost any build can be viable, while all of them can be changed easily if your choices leave you insatisfied. One key point of the game lie in the interaction and cooperation between Van Helsing and his ghostly companion, lady Katarina, which you can level up too, as you see fit. Their conversations are often funny, while never trying too much to be.
From the tower defense parts to the optional quests, a lot of care has been taken into the differents parts of the game and into details. I highly recommend anyone loving the genre to give it a try. As for now, the bugs I personally encountered have been fixed so far and Neocore games support has been fast and helpful when needed. There are still balance issues between classes, but nothing that should keep your from enjoying a great and quite unique action rpg.

Surprisingly fun. I play the game with my mate and despite the lower resolution in the game we really like it. A huge plus for the cut scenes, dialogues, and the story. In this type of game genre, it's quite rare to see so much attention put into this part. The gameplay (fight) itself is fun, as it should be. The skill tree is not overly complicated, but not too simple either. Actually, the game is just well done.

More than just a definitive edition, this revamped vision of an undervalued hack&slay series mixes everything together that you loved about Van Helsing and Katarina and puts a fresh spin on it. Nice!
For all its sloppy seconds and used structures, I can’t help but feel a little disappointed in the end that the developer didn’t try to evolve beyond just being another clone.
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing: Final Cut delivers a rich, compelling ARPG experience.
The price is well worth the amount of quality content you get here. With three games in one, you are looking at 50 plus hours of gameplay.
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing: Final Cut is a game I really wanted to like, but ultimately just made me wish I was playing Diablo or Torchlight instead. At it’s core, it’s technically sound, but the handful of interesting mechanics are lost in a sea of terrible ones, and does an injustice to the titular vampire-hunting doctor.
If you like the genre (top-down ARPGs/Diablo-likes) This is a great pick up. Especially if on sale. I got it for 90% off and that's the best $5 I've ever spent on a game.
It borrows a lot from Torchlight, Diablo (obviously), and Titan Quest, but does it really well.
The banter between Van Helsing and Catrina (your 'hireling') is actually not terrible and there's a ton of cool easter **** games, books, and movies/tv shows in the same genre.
You can grind as little or as much as you want, as every spawn/drop/area scales to your current level.
The skill trees are at a nice midpoint between shallow and deep, ie: not Diablo 3 but also not Path of Exile.
There are even two exploitable areas when you can farm for Legendary drops. :) if that's your thing...
I'd say it's best to get the Final Cut as it includes all 3 games, all the DLC, QoL improvements, and integrates this all into a seamless whole. There's a lot you cannot do if you buy the games individually, as first released. eg: you didn't choose a character class in the first game/first chapter, but with FInal Cut you can pick from one of 6 right from the beginning.
It took me about 45 hours to play through, doing almost everything aside from some endgame stuff.

The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing was not exactly the game I was expecting, but I found myself liking it more than I wanted to. The game is a type of of game that tells me a lot, I grew up playing games like Diablo, Titan Quest and Dungeon Siege but recently it has been very difficult to find another good game of the genre, with the exception of Path of Exile.
Despite not being fantastic Van Helsing satisfied my desire for a game of the genre.
Visually the game is OK, not impressive, but the world seems awesome with a amazing gothic style with a lot steampunk elements that I quite enjoyed.
Mechanically the game is easy to catch but very diverse, with an enormous and vast skill tree. You have 6 very different classes to choose, and before starting the game properly I found myself playing each one for a few, to see the one that suits best my play style. This diversity is something very positive since the classes are so diverse it is possible to replay the game, over and over again, in a very different way without getting bored or finding it repeatable.
Overall the game is quite good, and if you are like me a fan of the genre give it a try. I fully recommend it and hope you all enjoy it too!

It's great that it's free for all trilogy owner, with a brand new endgame and a ton of ****:
-delayed 2 times
-bugs with redeem keycode
-bugs with windows 10
-bugs with multiplayer
-small community so there is no theorycrafting, no open matches
Well, i appreciate that this 3rd time it has gone live, but maybe it's still a sort of a beta.
Wait and see if it gets fixed. It's promising, though

Well the game is playable. But nothing more.
Poor choice of game mechanics. I can shot fire, i can shot ice, i can shot poison, wow so cool.
Dull storytalling. Reading dialoges while you trying to clicked mobs to death so handy.
"Incredible funny" ester eggs on every level. I found lambda symbol in the sewers so good.
Imagine action rpg game that force you to teleport back to the base every 2 minutes. And for what? To send your pet to the hunt, and check it's loot. This feature number one stupid thing in the game. So you have to check loot that your pet has brung from the hunt while you farming the same loot during normal playtrough. What a clowns.

Mouse and keyboard are completely disabled **** is connected. This game was released in 2015.
Let me retype that, so you are clear. Mouse and keyboard are completely disabled **** is connected. In a game released in 2015.
The only way to re-enable is to use your gamepad to access the options menu. A deal breaker for your basic 360 plugged into a USB port, but for someone with a bluetooth PS3 controller, its beyond a deal breaker. This game was a gift, or I would have steam refunded it immediately.
Intolerable.
