What it is
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing II is a 2014 action RPG from NeocoreGames, set in a gothic world shaped by weird science. Van Helsing returns with his ghostly companion, Lady Katarina, as a new enemy threatens Borgova and the surrounding wilderness. The sequel can also be enjoyed independently. Choose from three classes: the Hunter, who uses shooting and melee skills; the magic-wielding Thaumaturge; or the Arcane Mechanic, who specializes in devices. The Hunter’s Lair is a base for storing loot, trading with characters, traveling between locations, crafting items, using alchemy and taking quests from Resistance allies. Optional tower-defense missions let you protect the Lair and other locations from enemy waves with traps and upgradable functions. Steam features include single-player, multiplayer and co-op, plus achievements, controller support, cloud saves, trading cards, stats, leaderboards and Remote Play on TV. Listed platforms include Windows and Mac, though the Steam platform listing names Windows.
