Greetings, Hunters!

<span class="bold">Victor Vran</span>, an action filled next step in aRPG design, is available now for Windows and Mac - complete with GOG Galaxy Achievements, DRM-free, and 10% off for the first week!

In a genre that's seen immense highs and extended lows, it seems that we're always waiting for the secret formula for the perfect action RPG. Some say it's all about an overwhelming amount of loot, upgrades and treats galore. Others choose to experiment with new and innovative ways to connect their players, or to give them new types of control over making their character one of a kind. Victor Vran brings its own answers to the table.

It's a game that places movement and action first, truly putting the "action" in the aRPG, eliminating the boundaries of a traditional class system, and opting for freeform gear-based progression. A combat-oriented approach doesn't mean that Victor Vran is lacking in the other departments either - there's plenty of loot to collect and increasingly awesome weapons to find (including what looks an awful lot like a lightsaber) as well as innovative character progression. All that's there, however, is enhanced by an unprecedented movement system that will have you (and up to 4 of your co-op buddies) leaping, dodging and wallrunning. It's a game where survival is based on so much more than how hard you can hit.



GOG.com Exclusive Bonus
For a little something special, your copy of the game will come with a one-time-use GOG.com-exclusive Treasure Key! Just log in to your GOG.com account, start your single-player game, and redeem it in-game for a fountain of gold and the following drops:

Are you trying to use GIFT-OF-GEAR as your serial number?

To get your multiplayer key:

Click on Victor Vran in your library, then click More, then click Serial Keys.

A quick heads-up to anyone who's interested, just got notification for the patch that shifts the treasure key from being an online feature to an offline one.

This is the statement included in the changelog -

GOG bonus items - they are now given the first time the user walks into the hub, once per installation (not per in-game character), if they haven't already been given (e.g. via the old redeem mechanism).

+1 thanks for letting everyone know. Once per installation is also a nice compromise I think.

Thanks for the heads up! Thanks to the devs for addressing the concerns of GOG users! Re-wishlisted!

Not a problem. It's a fun game, and I'm saying that with all 5 difficulty modifiers on.
I like that you can choose how many you want to activate. (Unless you do hard mode, in which case all 5 are turned on and you can't ever shut them off.)
It provides for a scale ranging from "enjoyable with a bit of challenge" to "son of a bitch, I'm almost out of healing potions, need to run like hell, super monsters trying to slaughter me while 75 percent of my hits bounce off and my life is slowly being eaten away automatically so I'd better figure out how to take out swarms while keeping my health as high as possible".

That sounds like some properly thought out, carefully designed difficulty settings. Rare as Hen's teeth.

Wish-listed, in full support of devs & gog, at full price as soon as I can spare the money :-)

DRM-free multiplayer when?

Sad to see GOG give up on this principal.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-07-31-victor-vran-review?utm_source=eurogamer&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=net-daily

Excerpt :

Beyond that, there's online co-op for teams of up to four - the browser's a bit basic, but I had fun nonetheless - and there's a wave-based endless area to unlock if you're after an end-game. Victor Vran's clearly been made on a fairly tight budget, then, but the design does a lot with a little, and its dark fantasy world is filled with character, from cobbled streets and autumnal slums, to playful Elites such as The King of the Pumpkins that Explode - a king whom, it must be said, lives up to his name quite beautifully - and probably makes for some memorable first days of parliament.

More than all that, the game's just extremely personable. The story is forgettable, but it's delivered via Victor's schlocky pronouncements and a playful, teasing, taunting voice in his head that seeks to unsettle you at every turn. ("Victor, you need a vigilante name. How about Hatman?") Equally, alongside the swamps and crypts you're expecting, you get standout locations like the Forlorn Chateau, a haunted mansion with a seriously unpleasant attic that delivers one of the most charismatic ARPG maps I've visited in quite a while. Sure, even middling ARPGs are almost always fun for an hour or so, but Victor Vran will keep you hitting stuff and collecting loot for a lot longer than you might expect.

Immoli: DRM-free multiplayer when?

When did GOG given up on principal DRM-free? The exact criticism is also there from my side but it is not true that GOG therefore has given up on its principals. It is this game or better the concurrent state. And the Q&A was good for now, so let's just wait what it'll be in a few weeks.

Immoli: DRM-free multiplayer when?

Sad to see GOG give up on this principal.
GOG never said anything or made any principles towards DRM-Free multiplayer, besides very few multiplayer games were completely copy-protection free in multiplayer as most of them required every user to use a unique serial key.

GOG may have given up a few principles such as flat pricing but never about DRM-Free. Even better, the game devs have heard the community's disappointment regarding the online code activation and have provided a remedy to it: http://www.gog.com/forum/general/victor_vran_developer_qa_b9a24/post28

Cheer up, you have no reason to be sad over something that was never promised in the first place. :-)
