Vertical Drop Heroes HD Critic Reviews

Vertical Drop Heroes is a really solid game. While there are a couple of things I could (and did) nitpick, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it. If you're looking for a fun and slightly different type of RPG that you can easily play in spurts, definitely give this one a go.

This enhanced remake is able to capture its original spirit and, until it lasts, it's really funny. Sadly, after four hours you'll be tired of falling down the pit. And everything will feel like a chore. Beware of this and you won't regret the time spent with this game.

Vertical Drop Heroes is a cheap and certainly cheerful 2D platformer, and pretty enjoyable, although it’s unlikely to hold your attention for too long. It’s a game that’s as much about luck and perseverance than actual skill, but Roguelike fans who want something a little lighter might well enjoy this.

The combat in Vertical Drop Heroes is simplistic, but fun.

Vertical Drop Heroes places a new spin on a tried and true genre that has spanned decades. The spin may be simplistic, but it is appreciated nonetheless. The repetitiveness may not be for everyone, but for those who don’t mind falling down again and again, you could do worse than this bright, slightly charming game.

The problem with Vertical Drop Heroes HD is that it’s not very fun.
