![]() ![]() ![]() It’s more than adequate though, just don’t expect to be spellbound by what you see. The environments are plain and predictable while the effects lack spectacle. This won’t win any awards for the best-looking Nintendo Switch game, either. There are some bizarre choices in how you select and move items around in your inventory for one, and the way that weapon comparisons are displayed isn’t particularly helpful. ![]() Team up with friends and communicate over voice chat, and I’m sure that there is more than enough fun to be had together.Īs a game that was released on PC before it was ported to consoles, Victor Vran: Overkill Edition isn’t without its quirks. With random players, you can expect inconsistency in levelling to lead to overpowered enemies and there was some latency in the ‘English’ room games that I played. And then there’s online multiplayer, where you can create or join a room with up to four players. One option is to let another demon hunter join your quest in local multiplayer, which is a painless process but will mean that the camera is locked so that you are unable to freely move away from each other’s location. You don’t have to play Victor Vran: Overkill Edition alone, either. Between quests, you can teleport back to Castle Zagore, a safe haven where you can restock your health potions, spend your accumulated gold on more powerful weapons or place your gathered loot into storage to clear up some inventory space. And it cannot be understated how important levelling your character is to the experience – not only helping to increase your health and the chance wield a second weapon early on, but later unlocking transmutation that lets you combine your weapons to make them stronger.īeyond that you can even change between outfits for different bonuses, flip through your Destiny Card collection that grant passive abilities when equipped or even use Hexes to make your dungeon battles more difficult but allowing your success to be met with greater reward. There are secret treasure chests to uncover, challenges to beat for rewards and loot to scoop up from fallen enemies as your work as a demon hunter racks up enough experience for you to level up. You must gain Overdrive by killing monsters to activate these devastating attacks, that can soon sway battles back in your favour – whether that be raining down meteors, protecting yourself with a magical shield or teleporting to inflict status conditions. And, fighting to atone for a dark pact that he once mistakenly made, Victor also has access to demonic powers. These can be broken down into melee (swords, hammers, scythes and rapiers) and ranged (shotguns, lightning guns, hand mortars and spell tomes) categories, resulting in a flexibility in approach that leaves the decision entirely up to you as to whether to get up close and personal or take out your enemies from a distance.Įvery weapon has three unchangeable attacks – one being your standard attack and the others being special attacks that have cooldowns – that you can use to fell your enemies, represented with icons that appear at the base of the screen. Played from an isometric perspective, the experience does away with class-based characters to instead grant you the freedom to choose which two weapons Victor wields at any time – a design choice that lends the game its greatest strength. ![]()
