Victor Vran: Overkill Edition‘s primary campaign takes place in Zagoravia a once-beautiful and prosperous city which has now found itself completely overtaken by demons. Victor Vran starts out serious, but its narrative motives are somewhat questionable. But it’s fun, and it’s got a lot of content. It doesn’t do anything particularly innovative, nor will it most likely leave a lasting impression on you. Yes, Overkill Edition is yet another mindless looter. The only thing that really matters is shooting (or slicing, or smashing), grabbing loot - most of which you’ll never even touch - and wolfing down as much EXP and gold as you can get your pseudo-demonic little hands on.

Victor Vran: Overkill Edition is the kind of game to let you wander off and do your own thing.

And that’s exactly why titles like Victor Vran: Overkill Edition exist. I don’t care who you are, nor how much you claim to love story-driven games (because I’m right there with you) we all like to play mindlessly fun games sometimes. To simply play a game and not have to think about what you’re doing. Sometimes you just want to get into the thick of it. To kill hordes of monsters, and collect as much loot as possible.

Sometimes, you don’t want to deal with plots that trigger pesky things like emotions or thoughts. It doesn’t matter if it comes from a JRPG like Persona 4 (the rest of them are amazing, too, so calm down), or a visual novel like Steins Gate a game that can hook me with a good story is one that I’ll likely remember forever.
