Final Cut is Worth Playing
Nick - wrote on 02/28/2019
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing is a Diablo clone action RPG based on Van Helsing lore. There are three episodic releases from 2013 to 2015, and at the end of 2015 they released a combined Final Cut release containing all three.

“The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing” (“Van Helsing”) is the third game by Hungarian Indie developer, NeoCore Games, whose inaugural efforts included “King Arthur” and “King Arthur 2,” the ‘Role-Playing Wargames.’ Like Disney in its heyday, NeoCore has adopted the concept of basing their game development efforts on extant works of literature that have become part of the Public Domain, hence negating the need for expensive licensing fees to IP rights-holders and the whole legal song-and-dance that happens around such licensing agreements. “Van Helsing” is based on none-other than the original novel that brought vampires and creatures of the night into the modern zeitgeist, “Dracula” by Bram Stoker, originally published in 1897 (thus it only just went out …
