Wired Productions is bringing Haemimont Games' action RPG Victor Vran: Overkill Edition to Switch, and with it, one of the greatest rock bands of all time.
Victor Vran owes a debt to titles like Diablo and allows you to team up with up to four players online to take down hordes of enemies. You'll be able to customise your character with outfits and weapons along the way, and Switch owners will benefit from the expansions 'Fractured Worlds' and 'Motörhead: Through the Ages', the latter of which is described as "a wild tour through the mythos, music and attitude of the loudest band in the world." The late Ian Fraser Kilmister - better known as Lemmy - is featured, too.
Leo Zullo, Managing Director at Wired Productions, said:
Victor Vran: Overkill Edition will be the first game of it’s kind to arrive on the Nintendo Switch. A masterpiece both technically and in its gameplay, Haemimont Games’ classic RPG will be a must have addition for Switch owners around the world.
Gabriel Dobrev, CEO at Haemimont Games, added:
Victor Vran has taken us on an incredible journey, from working with Motörhead to seeing so many players love the game as we have has been a real privilege – we’re excited for Victor’s next strides onto the Switch platform.
There's no solid release date outside of "summer", but we do know that the game will launch digitally as well as in physical form, with a suggested retail price of £34.99 / €39.99 / $39.99.
Our pals over at Push Square thought it was pretty decent, giving it 7/10 and saying:
Victor Vran: Overkill Edition doesn't revolutionise the action RPG genre, but it certainly has helped it evolve. The scrapping of class systems and skill trees gives you more control over the character that you want to make, while the hordes of collectable loot will keep you chopping and changing your loadout for a long time. While its story is a little stale and there is still something very conventional about how Haemimont Games' latest is set out, the variety of gameplay and four-player co-op will keep you coming back to Zagoravia for hours.

No "Killed by Death" tagline?
You've let us all down, but worst of all you've let yourselves down, NintyLife.
Lemmy on my Switch? Cool!
@crackafreeze
OF COURSE.
More Trash on Switch E-Shop. Its Feb and still no new games came out for the switch lol
@therealgamer weren't you developing a game? You should release it on the switch..
@redd214
He's an idiot. He is on virtually every article saying the same thing about how the Switch has no games. But for some reason he spends all of his time on here instead of being off playing all of those PS4 and Xbox One games that he is so smitten by.
I will buy this! Have to support my Bulgarian brethren!!!
I'm not sure about 40$ but I'm sure about Lemmy! Bring it on!!!
I was standing in a queue at the passport control in Schipol Airport and just to my left and my disbelief there was Lemmy. True to character he was in his full garbs, which made me smile. I had just come off a long flight from Thailand and wasn't in the best of moods at the time and figured Lemmy may have just done the same so I didn't bother pestering him for an autograph. That was around 2 years before he died.
Just... weird.
Well, that’s a headline I never thought I’d read today
SOLD
Wow, i didn’t even know this was coming to Switch. Nice
@therealgamer I think you are on the wrong site. Nobody is making you post here against your will.
If the case is that you like posting this stuff you have too much free time and very sad life.
One of my fondest memories was watch Motorhead at Wembley Arena, especially when they played an acoustic blues track with Lemmy trying to play a harmonica with false teeth. Bless 'im.
Looks fun , i'm sold. Also the music in the video made me remember of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3. THPS is another serie that I would be happy if was ported to the switch ^^.
Awesome, looking forward to this once it made it to Switch.
@redd214 Still working on it. Right now doing a teaser trailer and coming end of the month. The game is schedule to release in Q3 2018
@Zuljaras sad life by telling the truth about the switch. I am not trolling. Nintendo said the switch will have 3rd party support and so far none
Lemmy was already on Switch. Lemmy Koopa is named after the guy.
maybe I do like some diablo clones...torchlight was really good...things looks like a step down but might get it if I get bored.
@therealgamer not one person here will buy it, on account of you being an utter pickle and, oh yeah, it's imaginary anyway.
Since I am still holding my breath for DIABLO 3, I guess I might give this a try. Looks good.
Day 1. Loved this on PC
This presses all the right buttons. Hope it's good.
One of the greatest rock bands of all time?! That’s a truly laughable statement.
On the the most significant for sure for punk fans. Great trailer.
Looks like the most interesting game on the Switch as of late, even if it is a Diablo clone. This, Dead Cells and Castle of Heart is a good change of pace.
Whaaaaat!? Looks nice!
Victor Vran is a good solid game and one of my really positive surprice impulse buys on steam. (Bought it cause i wanted a new controller friendly game to play on my TV) Will definately get this again to play it on my switch
