Victor Vran is an RPG designed with players like myself in mind, those whom like the idea of an intriguing world but with no class based limitations on what they can and can’t do. This is mostly as being able to run through crowds of enemies, slaying them as you go, is an amazing experience – something much harder to replicate on non-casual modes! Shamefully I know which end of the spectrum I mostly played on. If this doesn’t work for you then playing online is an option or there is a difficulty slider to lower from Normal to Casual. Simply hand over a pair of joy-cons, or pro controller, to a friend and you’ll find having an ally in-game can be life saving. Victor Vran on Nintendo Switch is built with couch gameplay in mind. Victor may be in search for a lost friend but fear not if you feel like you’re getting overrun. It may be the dull tones/colours of the city of Zagoravia, but units and effects pop, making it a decent visual experience – even when on the move. Impressively, be it docked or undocked there have been no notable performance drops, even when the game starts to thrown lots of units at the player simultaneously, and plenty of effects from spells are on screen. As if this wasn’t bad enough players will also have boss fights to contend with. So you have this array of weaponry and spells but what do you get to use them on? That’s where the waves of demons, skeletons and more come in. Taking a step back from an onrush of enemies only to solar beam them to the face or drop an area of effect meteor on their heads can be incredibly satisfying. I don’t mean in a fist fight, instead a range of demon powers are unlockable. Steampunk styled weapons aside Victor can take on the monsters and demons with only his hands. While there are some items of worth dropped the store offers an interesting progression tracker of sorts of getting better gear. Instead of players churning through dropped items players will often want to dump loot into the gear store to be able to make a big, sometimes expensive, purchase. Victor Vran does something different from the usual RPG mould when it comes to loot. This is perfect for when you’re trying to keep a horde of spiders at bay with a ranged weapon but need to switch out to a melee weapon to pick off those that break through. As if this wasn’t enough after some progression Victor picks up the ability to almost dual wield, making swapping between two weapons lightening fast. This allows gamers to carry a full arsenal and choose what’ll work best, for maximum damage and more importantly for maximum entertainment. If there is a limit to what Victor can carry it is not noticeable, so no annoying over encumbered messages will be popping up like in Skyrim. Countering this each weapon has pros and cons, so players will have to either adjust to the situations dynamically, or face some hard combat sections. Enabling player to dabble with each, there is no class based system abitarily locking the use of weapons from players. Be it equipping rifle like ranged weapons or huge warhammers, Victor is relatively proficient with each. Thankfully, that bit comes in copious amounts.įrom the get go Victor is a strong character to play as, offering the ability to flick between a huge range of weaponry on the fly. It certainly doesn’t excite as much as the feeling of combat. From here on the story does little more than give some context and pad out the experience. As a Hunter apparently does, Victor charges off into the midst of a world that is looking a tad sorry for itself. Action certainly being something the protagonist will being seeing a lot of on his journey. However, is the Victor Vran port entertaining both docked and on the move? Let’s find out!Ī mysterious message, offering a mention of a lost friend, is enough to get Victor Vran into action.
