Two new features are now included in the game: - New Game Mode: Touchdown - Czech Localization What is Touchdown? NeocoreGames would like to surprise you with a new game mode for Van Helsing II where you can slay your friends in a holiday-themed environment designed specifically for PvP! We thought about all the fire, steel, and death you can give in Van Helsing and we decided to turn it up a notch in this new game mode, Touchdown. In Touchdown, you can invite your friends to battle against each other in teams of two to four. The goal is to get the Gift Box in the middle of the map, and carry it to the exit point. But beware, the player who gets the Box turns into a Domovoy with no abilities, so your only choice is to run other than throwing away the Gift... or committing suicide, killing everyone in your vicinity. There are various powerups that you can pick up to make your enemies' lives a lot harder - and yours a lot easier. Beware the lasers though - if you cross the wrong colored one, you will die. There are infinite tactics to victory, but choose your teammates well - you can never succeed alone.

Good news! First I would like to say a big thank you to everybody who supported us and made it possible that we can do what we love and release titles like The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing series (yes the final episode is also on the way :) ) and Deathtrap which will gain its Early Access status soon. Also there was a very positive feedback about the Tower Defense game segments we used in Van Helsing I and II, and considering the fact that we are huge fans too, it simply made sense to make our own TD game. :) This will be our first attempt to implement user generated content as a feature, and this is one of the main reasons why we will need all the help that the community can provide so we can make it as good and polished as we've imagined it. If you have any questions, first check " what the developers have to say tab on the store page", or feel free to visit the general discussions thread. Thanks again, Valkyrie NeocoreGames
