A 2013 steampunk ARPG from NeocoreGames where you play Van Helsing alongside a ghostly companion, blending action-RPG mechanics with dark comedy.

Van Helsing occupies a quiet but durable slot in the ARPG catalog, sustaining solid four-figure monthly residuals across a modest player base with consistently positive sentiment (82.79%). The franchise spawned two sequels and helped establish NeocoreGames as a reliable action-RPG house; this original remains undermonetized given its 11+ year lifespan, zero promotions in the last year, and a localization gap (14.66%) skewed toward Brazilian and Russian speakers. For a publisher seeking low-risk catalog depth or a studio considering IP consolidation, this title merits evaluation as a bundling asset or candidate for regional marketing pushes. Most realistic play: publishing.

  • Risk: The Van Helsing character derives from Bram Stoker's public-domain work but NeocoreGames' specific character iteration and narrative framing may carry derivative-rights considerations; confirm IP clearance before aggressive revival or derivative projects.
  • Risk: Engine and toolchain are 11 years old; live-ops integration, modern anti-cheat, or cross-platform publishing would require significant technical assessment.
  • Risk: ARPG genre saturation and absence of active development for 6+ months may limit appeal to players seeking live content; revival would demand franchise clarity versus sequels (Van Helsing II and III exist).
