NeocoreGames delivers yet another satisfying and solid action role-playing game with The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing III. Being the conclusion to a trilogy, the third installment includes all of the series favorite elements while also introducing a wealth of improvements. It's a great time to adventure once again to Borgovia.
Van Helsing III is not a bad game, quite the contrary: the foundation is still solid and fun, but content-wise it seems like a big expansion of the previous installment. There are some new features, especially for classes and multiplayer, but honestly we expected something more.

The combat dosen't change much from the other games tho i think it didn't have to, i was a bit sad because of the absence of item sets but the story is nice, you get some backround on your companion and the level design is really grate, really worth it's price

some INK MAPS are far more beautiful than in VH 1 or 2, they are stunning, marvelous. Story is good, skill tree is made differently, skills too, but I got used to it and it was then more than ok (: . SOUNDTRACK is nice , but i hated one (of 2) song played in Secret lair (that with woman voice), but later i "discovered" that i can put off headphones when in Secret lair xD and that saved me from becoming mentaly insane bc of that stupid song (:

With many old features removed and some new caps introduced, The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing III feels like a shadow of its former self. That said, it is still worth the journey into the original atmosphere, the excellent script and the challenging gameplay of the trilogy, just one last time.
Van Helsing isn't a bad game at all, but it lacks the features needed to become a worthy culmination of a saga that, with the first two chapters, had shown a catchier gameplay.
Like visiting your hometown after years of absence. Everything's the same, yet off somehow. As you visit all the same places and exchange words with old friends, you're faced with an uncomfortable duality. On one hand, you get the closure of knowing how it all turned out, but on the other, you wonder what could have been, making you simultaneously satisfied and unsettled by the reality that this is the end.
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing III is not the conclusion that the saga deserved; it is too simplified in some of its aspects, it is short, it is impossible to import your previous character, and it has technical issues. The gameplay is still valid and entertaining, but lies under this huge list of problems.
It should be labeled: "only for core fans“. Third installment of Van Helsing is not entirely bad, but it’s average and completely misses its mark..
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing III is simply a great ARPG. There are 6 great classes to choose from who all have their strengths and weaknesses. However I seemed to notice that the elementalist (wizard) seems a bit overpowered, since I'm having no difficulty als can take on large groups of enemies. At the humble price it stand, I would definitely check it out!

The low price, solid gameplay and writing together with the great style of this game means that it should be getting at least an 8/10 for me. But it isn't, because it cuts back many of the elements that made the first two games great. The skills have been greatly reduced, item sets removed, reduced level cap, simplified gameplay and very limited Van Helsing 2 save game porting. In fact, I couldn't port my character from the second game as it just won't detect it. I'm quite disappointed, but since almost all games don't do this, I won't be so mad about it. That said, it still retains the great writing and funny dialogues, which count a lot, for me. Combine this with the low asking price, and it earns a solid 7/10 for me.

This is the final installment of the Van Helsing series, and if you had hoped it would end on a high note you'll be disappointed. VH3 is definitely a downgrade over the previous games, the biggest regression being the skill system, it has been dumbed-down by removing many skills and changing others, this leaves you with very little choice when it comes to creating your build. The toughest decision you'll have to make is which of the skills you'll max out first, as you'll end up maxing out most of them by the end anyway. Another major issue with the game is simply the classes aren't fun to play, the skills are boring, the skill trees are bland and I honestly felt only two of the six classes were enjoyable enough to finish the game with.
If you can get past the boring classes and restrictive skill system another backtrack from previous games is the loot, much like in VH1 you will rarely find any legendary items, by the end of my play-through I only had two equipped. In VH2 this was fixed and the loot progression was great, I was regularly finding interesting, build changing legionaries and I have no idea why they went back on this in VH3.
Now if you can look past the bad, underneath it's the same old Van Helsing, so if you enjoyed the first two games you'll probably enjoy this one too, just not as much as the previous entries. The solid voice work and humor once again carries the game and makes you forgive certain downfalls, and if you want to see how the story ends I would suggest picking the game up when it's 50 - 75% off as it's not worth full price. That being said, if you own all the Van Helsing games you will be entitled to the Final Cut edition for free which is releasing next month, it's basically all three games combined and improved (although we're not sure how, but they have said they're overhauling the skill system which was absolutely necessary IMO). My advice would be to wait and play the Final Cut edition, instead of playing VH3 as a standalone game.

The city of weird science is in ruins, squabbling factions and criminals fight for power and a strange cult prophesizes the coming of “The end of times.” And they might be just right: A wave of uncanny events shakes the land, and it’s all connected to a mys...
