Haemimont Games, best known for its work on the acclaimed Tropico series, announced today that Victor Vran has entered Steam Early Access. According to the press release, the development team really sees Early Access as a way to work together with the player community to make the game as good as can be, creating in-game tools for submitting feedback and bug reporting with minimal interruption.
Players can like, dislike or comment on any game feature with a single mouse click. The developers will aggregate this feedback and respond with changes as soon as the next Early Access update.
Early Access adopters will receive the exclusive Wanderer outfit as a gesture of gratitude and recognition for their invaluable help in shaping the game during this critical stage of development. The outfit unlocks unique in-game looks, but offers no gameplay advantages over players that decide to join the party later, after the official release.
Victor Vran is an intense, action-packed game, offering hours of monster-slaying fun. The first two regions of the game world are accessible now on Early Access, offering more than six hours of gameplay.
In the current build players can:
· Try out custom character builds by using a multitude of weapons, consumables, destiny cards and demon powers
· Master four weapon types: Sword, Shotgun, Hammer and Rapier. Each weapon type is unique, providing a distinct play style and special attacks. Additional weapon classes will be made available during later stages of Early Access.
· Change the difficulty using cursed Hex items that strengthen enemies and make combat more challenging.
· Dodge, jump and use special moves to gain the upper hand against the hordes of enemies.
· Play using keyboard and mouse or an Xbox controller.Players can look forward to frequent updates during Early Access as new features and content will gradually be made available.
Enjoy!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

In its current state, the gameplay looks like it has been sacrificed in order to support a game controller and the animations appear very clunky. That could change over time but for now it looks like something that could be played on a tablet so I guess that would be cool. We could use a halfway decent aRPG on tablets.
The limited use of jumping/ parkour seems gimickyl but that appears to be the only thing Vran has to differentiate itself in this market. I’m not a fan of the tab targeting type system as it has no place in aRPGs but perhaps it’s specific to melee classes? I can only hope…
For anyone looking for a steller aRPG on PC, a true modern aRPG with no in-game store, AH or DLC BS, I highly recommend checking out Grim Dawn, from the creators of Titan’s Quest.
It supports offline play, lan, online, and multiplayer with up to 4 people per server.
It’s currently on Steam early access and I’m about 200 hours deep with no signs of slowing down.
Yeah Grim Dawn looks good. But as with many other crowdfunded/early-access/greenlight games it just seems as if its never gonna be finished. How long have they been developing Grim Dawn? Finish the f’ing game, I’m tired of hearing about it, and I dont wanna play a half-finished game.
They push out updates regularly. Today is one such update.
