Van Helsing - for GBA

Van Helsing for the Game Boy Advance is an action game developed by Saffire and published by VU Games in 2004, arriving alongside the monster hunting film of the same name. You play as the legendary hunter Van Helsing, sent deep into the mysterious land of Transylvania and the murky depths of the Carpathian Mountains, where the monsters that inhabit our deepest nightmares take form. Count Dracula waits at the end of it all, and Van Helsing makes its name on the famous creatures it lines up against you.

Play is built around moving and shooting. You push through dark, gothic places and take down what comes at you with an array of deadly weapons and special abilities, each giving you a different way to handle an encounter. The monsters are the showpieces: Dracula, the Frankenstein Monster and the Wolf Man all stand in your way, along with other fiendish creatures. This is a game for one player, so the whole hunt is yours to work through at your own pace, learning what each creature can do before you go in swinging.

Van Helsing keeps its appeal thanks to its setting, since stalking the great classic monsters of horror by lamplight never really gets old, and its pacing suits short bursts of handheld play. It is also a snapshot of a particular moment, when a big summer monster movie would get its own game built for the system in your pocket. For collectors, Van Helsing is one of the more atmospheric film tie in releases on the Game Boy Advance, and a fun one to slot in beside the bigger names on the shelf.
