## Overview

### Setting and background

The game is based on one of the main characters from Bram Stoker’s Dracula and set in Borgovia, a fictional dark kingdom where the mythical monsters once roamed. You play young Van Helsing, son of the world-famous monster hunter, who follows his father’s footsteps and finds new adventures in the fictional land of gloomy Borgovia. In the wilderness among colossal mountains you can fight mythical creatures and determined, wicked outlaws and even in the safe haven, in the village of Markovna you have to keep your ears open because of the dangerous conspirations. In the gothic-noir metropolis of Borgova you can explore huge buildings with giant, unknown machines, abandoned experimental laboratory working by evil creatures and mad scientists, sewers filled with poison gas or the Dreadworks factory grounds.

### Gameplay

The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing is an isometric Action Role-playing hack and slash video game. You can move and interact with point and click controls or hotkeys. You have a beautiful follower, the ghost of Lady Katarina, who is a great help for our hero and also his biggest critic at the same time. You can customize your character through a level-up system with improving different skills and combine them in several ways. You can tailor your skills on the spot with the game's unique PowerUp System: all active skills have 3 modifiers, called PowerUps. They are activated (charged) from Rage points that you gain as you kill your enemies, then you can boost your active skills in many different ways by combining these PowerUps. You can equip your character and also your follower with several items you picked up from the ground or bought from NPCs. The game also offers a co-op multiplayer campaign for up to 4 players, where you can hunt down the scientific nightmares with other members of the Hunters' Guild. In single-player mode you don’t need to stay online to play The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing.
