Being that I never purchased anything and horded money much like Scooge McDuck, I had gold coming out my pooper. Though, I never bought anything at the stores and I’m sure a more skilled player would find this useful. Not terribly annoying as you do get to collect a lot of items to sell. How it works and where the ink comes from is never fully explained, just that it works and sometime you can get stuck in it and have to find your way out. It’s here in the town that you learn of the ink gates, which are portals that traverse you between fighting locations by use of a mystical ink. Though a more RPG minded player would find the uses of the enchanter to enchant their weapons more useful, I fund it to be insignificant for my play style. I only only used the store to sell all the crap that you pick up, like a pack rat on a high, throughout the game. This is where you get the town/base instructions and what each person can do for Van Helsing and Katarina. These towns folk are the “base” for Van Helsing. Although this does not keep the game from progressing as they indicate flashing “ping” rings that show you where to go on the map.Īfter working his way into Mordova, Van Helsing meets the town folk. Sure, minor issues overall but when the game is very heavily based on getting the gamer into the game with text and story, it brings you out of the game very quickly. If the text was longer than the box there was no way to scroll if the objective had a longer title than could show up on the side of the screen, it would cut out mid word. An issue I ran into at the start was how the windows that explained what I would need to do were cut off, which didn’t help my inability to branch out and expand my skills. The problems I faced, I had only felt the need to use and upgrad the ranged weapons and set Katarina to fight melee battles for me this could be due to my poor abilities of Diablo-eque games in my gaming career. Overall it’s a decent combat system, allowing for customization and flexibility. This is where we learn of the basic controls and how the combat system works. Mordova is where the end of the intro and the start the “Incrededible Adventure” begins.Īfter a cut scene of a map, inspired by Indiana Jones destination to destination animation, complete with voice over by our brash and laid back Van Helsing, the story reveals that both Van Helsing and Katarina have crashed their wagon and are being attacked. Traveling through the forest taking down werewolves and other crazy creatures of forgotten folklore, Van Helsing and Katarina subdue them all to in their quest to reach the town of Mordova, just outside of Borgovia. As he travels, he is aided by his, mostly annoying yet quick witted, ghostly apparition Katarina who will provide back up when Van Helsing runs into spots of troube. Van Helsing travels across the land to reach Borgovia battling creatures, villains, and mythical monsters. Abraham Van Helsing, the son of the famous Van Helsing has travelled to Borgovia to investigate the town as some mysterious things are aloft.
