Viktor to seek help sorting out realms on Steam in June
If everyone could just agree to stay in their own realms, there'd probably be a lot fewer instances of heroes getting saddled with the responsibility of solving conflicts larger than themselves. Of course, when your world consists of an Overworld and a Netherworld, like the world of Eos featured in Viktor, it's practically begging for power-hungry inhabitants to spill into the other dimension in their hunt for power. You'll be able to sort out such an invasion when Viktor launches on Steam for $9.99 in June. Guiding Viktor, players set out on a 2D, action-oriented jaunt to restore peace, predominately by running and gunning toward Mephistopheles, leader of the Netherworld. Developer Shorebound Studios cites Castlevania and Mega Man as Viktor's influences, but judging by the above trailer, maybe Viktor has a bit of the X-Men's teleporting Nightcrawler in him, too.

League of Legends' Viktor wields science for evil
Meet Viktor. He's your basic nice-guy scientist who has one teeny, tiny bad experience and decides to turn his entire life into comic book villainy. Feel sorry for him or don't, he's going to rend you limb from limb either way. Viktor is the latest champion on League of Legends' drawing board, and Riot Games has given us a sneak peek at the awe and terror that he will bring to the game. Viktor is written as the creator of fellow champion Blitzcrank, but is a wee bit upset that his work got stolen from under his nose. Instead of joining a therapy group, Viktor turned his body into a robotic slaughter apparatus and is out for some good ol' fashioned revenging. Viktor's passive ability, Evolving Technology, allows players to purchase an item from the store to modify his bonus to suit the players' needs. He can also shoot a beam that bounces back to him as a shield, set up a Graviton Field to slow and stun enemies in his immediate vicinity, and fire a massive Death Ray that cuts through multiple foes. His Chaos Storm is neat as well, allowing Viktor to send out a cloud that silences and damages enemies caught within it.
