What it is
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing III is NeocoreGames’ 2015 action role-playing game and the conclusion to its gothic-noir adventure trilogy. The civil war in Borgovia has ended, but the city lies in ruins as factions and criminals compete for power. A cult predicts the end times, while uncanny events point to a mysterious creature: a former ally who has become a dangerous enemy. Van Helsing sets out to hunt this foe and confront secrets tied to modern Borgovia’s origins.
Choose from six classes, including the melee Protector, sharpshooting Bounty Hunter, and magic-wielding Elementalist. Character progression offers detailed customization as you gain levels. The adventure takes you through new areas in both the physical world and the Ink. Steam lists single-player, multiplayer and co-op, along with full controller support, Steam Cloud, achievements, trading cards, stats, leaderboards and Remote Play on TV. The game is listed for Windows and Mac, though its Steam platform listing specifies Windows.
