NeocoreGames is a video game development company that focuses on creating and publishing role-playing video games.[1] The company has their own development studio that is headquartered in Hungary,[1] and the video games developed at NeocoreGames are created using their custom-built game engine named Coretech.[2] The company is best known for their King Arthur: The Role-playing Wargame series, but in 2012 they announced the creation of two new game titles: The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing and Broken Sea.[3][4]

History

NeocoreGames was founded in 2005 and began working as a small game development studio.[5] The studio is known for their work in the role-playing game genre exemplified by their King Arthur: The Role-playing Wargame series.[3][5] The sequel, King Arthur II: The Role-playing Wargame, was developed using Coretech 2, NeocoreGames's new game engine.[6]

In 2012 with the announcement of the action-RPG The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing and the party-based tactical RPG Broken Sea, NeocoreGames has returned to independent video game development.[4][7]

In May 2012 the company announced the development of a role-playing game based on Bram Stoker's Dracula.[3] Titled The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing, the game follows Van Helsing's son as he travels to the eastern-European kingdom of Borgovia to slay the monsters that are overrunning the land.[3] The game is being developed for the Xbox Live Arcade platform and the PC, and the game will be the start of a new intellectual property for NeocoreGames.[8]

In June 2012 at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, NeocoreGames announced a second new game they were developing: Broken Sea is a fantasy tactical role-playing game developed for the PC, and its story will focus on a member of a dying order that seeks to restore it to its prime.[4][9] Starting out alone in the character's monastery, he or she will have to build a party of other characters to help locate the last remaining Dominion Ship before venturing to a once-majestic archipelago that "prospered under the rule of the Emperor Mages".[4][10]

In August 2014, NeocoreGames announced their first tower defense game, titled Deathtrap.[11]
