An isometric action RPG with a gothic, faintly comic tone, carried by the running commentary between Van Helsing and his ghostly companion Katarina, who is also a functional part of your build. The atmosphere and writing lift it above the usual Diablo clone. Build variety is where it runs out — few late-game specs are viable, so experimentation quietly funnels you back to the obvious ones.
