NeocoreGames (2005)
The Hungarian Masters of Hybrid Strategy and Action-RPGs Behind King Arthur and Van Helsing
Founded in 2005 in Budapest by Zoltán Pozsonyi and colleagues, NeocoreGames is a premier independent Hungarian development studio known for pioneering hybrid genres that blend grand tactical wargaming with deep role-playing progression. Renowned for King Arthur: The Role-playing Wargame, the gothic action-RPG trilogy The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing, and Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr.
King Arthur and the Hybrid 'Role-Playing Wargame'
In 2009, Neocore achieved international critical acclaim with King Arthur, merging Total War-scale real-time tactical battles with moral alignment choices (Rightful vs. Tyrant, Old Faith vs. Christianity), questing knights, and magic spells. The game demonstrated Neocore's unique ability to seamlessly fuse tactical army maneuvers with individual hero progression.
Gothic Steampunk and Warhammer 40K Mastery
Following with The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing—celebrated for its witty banter between the monster hunter and his ghostly companion Lady Katarina—Neocore secured licensing from Games Workshop to develop Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr, establishing the studio as Budapest's premier contemporary action-RPG powerhouse.
