This pattern repeats itself during every level, and thus gameplay can get fairly repetitive – especially during longer gameplay sessions. You can grow even more quickly in strength by taking on mid-level quests from characters, or by picking up certain crystals that only stay visible until you engage in combat – forcing you to play a little more stealthily for a bit. Success is defined by defeating the boss at the end (or bottom) of each level, although picking up plenty of keys will also enable to you dodge the boss and head straight for the exit door. Every time you die, you get a choice between three other characters, and the roster gets consistently stronger giving you more of a chance at success.

In the short run, you’ll likely die – quick and often. The pickups are important, especially when you consider the long term objective. The levels that follow are also randomly generated, as are the (positions of) the characters that inhabit it and the pickups you can grab. Upon the start of each game, you can select a randomly generated player character, each with slightly different attributes. Vertical Drop Heroes is much less of a straight up action platformer though, instead infusing the genre with hefty doses of roguelike and RPG elements. How does it hold up now that it’s come to the Playstation Vita?Īs the title suggests, Vertical Drop Heroes sees you moving downwards in a level, a like you would do in Downwell, another fun little indie title on the Vita. Vertical Drop Heroes is a re-release of an older Steam game, which at the time was a re-release of a browser-based game.
