Neocore Games has announced the release of the Van Helsing I: Complete Pack which features the first part of The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing Action RPG trilogy along with all the latest additions and updates to the game. The Complete Pack brings the game to Mac users and also includes three unique classes, PvP and co-op multiplayer modes, PC controller support, and new endgame content.

Christmas is coming early this year with the Van Helsing I: Complete Pack, a complete version of the first part in The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing series. The pack includes the base game and everything that has been introduced to the gameplay since the launch of the original. After paying close attention to the requests of the community, this package comes with three unique classes, PVP and co-op multiplayer mode, new netcode, PC controller support, monster respawn system, and the long awaited endgame content. In An Open Letter to our Fellow Hunters we explain the changes the game has gone through since its release and talk about the newly introduced features of the pack.

"With The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing we wanted to leave the doors open for community feedback since the first stages of development." said Zoltán "Pozs" Pozsonyi, producer of the game. "Thanks to our community we could improve the game in every possible way and we definitely count on their help in the future too."

The Van Helsing I: Complete Pack key features:

• Three playable classes – To embark on this gothic-noir adventure, players can choose from three very different classes: the classic Hunter with shooting and melee skills, the magic-wielding Thaumaturge, or the Arcane Mechanic, the master of deadly devices.
  
• Detailed level-up system – Players are able to spend points on hit points, mana, damage, and much more as they traverse through skill trees to mold Van Helsing to their liking.
  
• Hunter’s Lair – A central hub for players to stash collected loot, trade with non-playable characters, accept new quests from allies who join the resistance against the scientific scourge, teleport between locations, forge new items, and utilize the alchemy lab.
  
• Tower-defense mini-game – When the Hunter’s Lair is attacked by enemies, players have the opportunity to defend their HQ with deployable traps and several upgradable functions to ward off evil.
  
• Rage system – Enabling players to have up to three active skill modifiers called PowerUps, players have the ability to charge their PowerUps by way of spending Rage points collected from impressive feats.
  
• Unique companion system – Lady Katarina, a ghost with snappy wit, comes to the support of Van Helsing with her own set of abilities, behaviors, and two skill trees.
  
• Multiplayer – Allowing players to test their skills against each other via the PVP mode (16 players) or join their forces and complete the story in the co-operative campaign (4 players).
  
• Endgame content – Based on the community’s demands, the complete pack now includes various scenario levels, the Neverending Story, and respawning monsters.
  
• PC Controller Support and Mac version

Cool. Now, if only this was available on my favorite Mac game store... hint, hint, nudge, nudge.

[Frigidman™]

We apparently don't carry a single game by that publisher.

[Nox]

Didn't NeoCore make "King Arthur II?" That's on the MGS.

[Frigidman™]

Hmm, thats published by Virtual Programming. Might have had different licensing. Or they are wrapped under VP. Unsure.

[Nox]

Oh, no matter, no matter... I'm just smarting cuz I missed the Steam sale by SEVEN FREAKING MINUTES and now keen on seeing this on sale elsewhere...

[Thain Esh Kelch]

Game looks.. Interesting?

[the Battle Cat]

Wish it was first person.  Otherwise it's something I'd like.

[Thain Esh Kelch]

You just sit really close to the screen, and zoom in. Same effect.

[the Battle Cat]

OMG!  And it really really helps if you press your nose to the monitor!!

Van Helsing: Final Cut, merging all three games into one, has been announced.

Interesting approach.

I remember having read somewhere that the three parts were originally planned to be one larger game that they had to split up to be able to handle the development as rather small team. Makes sense, in so far.

[Frigidman™]

I guess I should have held out longer before buying the first one. But luckily I didn't get around to buying the second two... I think I will snag the complete now whenever that comes out.

Er, I just read this bit: "But here’s the twist: anyone who owns all three games in the trilogy already, will get this epic game for free!" ...

hmmm... now I kind of wish I bought those other two when they were on insane sale for $5 each. Cheaper than $45 !

[the Battle Cat]

Fm, you are a junky.  You need an intervention bro, this really is an emergency.  I'll call the proper authorities to get that rolling after I play Skyrim for awhile.  Maybe tomorrow.  Or the next day.  Depends on how much I can level up.

So I'm scott free for the next year. Cool.

I am quite sure this game will hit 5$ at some point also, and both me and my backlog can wait for that.

[Camper-Hunter]

Van Helsing I and II both have been Humble Bundled in the past, that's the way then ended up in my Steam library. I had downloaded VH I to play a bit later; change of plan, now I'll try to find a good price on VH III and wait for this Final Cut! Thanks for the information.

That's the spirit! It works for me every time. In fact, it has worked for me way too many times resulting in, well never mind. We all know how that goes.
