I played the first iteration of Van Helsing and I must admit I really loved it. This game can be considered a clone; you have a hero, Victor Vran, who must use his powers to defeat monstrous entities. You have different powers that can be used, you can use transmutation to enhance some weapons and so on. You have different outfits, each of them with their powers. You have different weapons; you can choose only two in the same time.
The greatest thing in this kind of game is that you can jump.
You can find secrets and chests with goodies. Boss battles are sometimes tough. Sadly, it's too short.
