Clever use of traps and abilities, polished and presented well, this is an example of a great budget strategy affair, and, overall, good work from NeocoreGames.

Overview
Let us take you beyond the veil of the gothic-noir world of the Van Helsing games, straight into the timeless depths of the twisted otherworld. There is a chain of strongholds in the mists that were once built to keep the horrors of the void at bay. And now these monsters are returning to conquer and kill: only you can stop them before they break through to the everyday world of Borgovia. Choose your hero and defend the Silent Forts: use, rebuild and improve those ancient traps and magical machines. Main features - A truly unique mixture of tower defense games and action-RPGs. - You and your traps against the whole otherworld: defeat the hordes in an incredible single player campaign! You are on your own, so it's a good thing that you have deadly devices and powerful spells. - Team up with other heroes and save the world together: cooperative campaign with specially designed maps. - Or you can just show your friends your true personality: players can set against each other in this game...

Although World of Van Helsing: Deathtrap looks very drab and appears to be just another tower defense game with a gimmick, playing it will cast these negative thoughts away because the enjoyment factor and depth to the whole thing cannot be ignored and really should be praised.
Deathtrap is a great combination of the Tower Defense genre with the RPG elements that it will make us have a good time
if we give it the opportunity it deserves.
World of Van Helsing: Deathtrap is an interesting title, a good hybrid between a Tower Defence and an Action-RPG, but that becomes repetitive too soon.
Deathtrap is a masterpiece in the tower defense genre to which many developers should look for years to come.
