The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing Preview

The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing is looking like an interesting action-RPG, if nothing else because of its slightly unusual setting, but to get a better idea of whether it has potential as a game or not you might want to read this preview from IncGamers. Here’s a snip I found interesting:

NeoCore’s upcoming game is an action-RPG, so surely The Walking a Few Steps and Slashing at some Monsters with a Sword of Van Helsing would be more accurate?

Perhaps so, but during the three hour act that this single player preview build of the game consisted of, I conversed with a werewolf, did battle with mechanical soldiers dressed in Napoleonic era uniforms and chatted about archaeology with an aquatic fellow named Professor Frog. By most standards, each of those events would qualify as an incredible adventure. I got all of them.

Did I mention that your AI companion is a sharp-tongued, aristocratic ghost from a fictional Eastern European nation?
