A hack-and-slash ARPG with insane bullet hell-type fights with hordes of demons and undead creatures to have your way with. There is a multitude of weapons, melee and ranged, to be found and used, all customizable in the form of prefix and suffix-type enchantments through the Transmutation feature. Adding to this is your card deck which you fill with Destiny cards (like tarot cards) that drop from enemies and chests, each of which grant a perk. Then you have Demon powers which are special abilities that can be summoned off a charge meter. Putting all of these together, the character customization possibilities are pretty much endless. There are no classes in Victor Vran. Your loadout is your class. And oh yes before I forget, YOU CAN JUMP AND DODGE!

The game is graphically beautiful and the environments well designed. It runs smoothly on Ultra settings at 60fps on my rig, an i5-4690k and Radeon R9 280 with shadows disabled (shadows on creates fps lag, idk why). Controls are intuitive and get easier the more you play.

Story-wise (which is forgettable; you're basically there to clean up someone else's mess), the game takes about 2-3 hours to complete if you're not a completionist and don't care for dungeon challenges and secrets. If you do, it'll bump that up to maybe 10 - 15 hours. You do not have to beat all the dungeons to finish the game.

Overall, this is a good game and my time spent playing it has been enjoyable. 8.5/10.
