Vertical Drop Heroes HD

not as good as the flash game

eh, not the best controls, but looks like someone's first game. Gameplay is decent, sometimes easy to cheese the boss

I don't remember buying this so maybe it came from a humble bundle. I was looking through my library when I stumbled onto it and decided to go for all achievements. Procedurally generated rouge light games are usually hit or miss. It’s a saturated market so it didn’t particularly spark intrigue for me initially. It also possesses a classic new grounds style art that I must commend for its DIY vibes. That being said it wasn’t the prettiest game to look at, at least for my personal taste. The game play itself is where the game shined. Just make sure you disable auto attack in the settings. You’re tasked with making it to the bottom of the screen and how you go about that depends on the level, the layout, your build, and the monsters. In theory, you don’t have to attack any enemies at all. You seemingly could complete an entire run passively. How realistic that is for the final boss is debatable and likely based on your build but I love that about the game. I do have some gripes. The spikes for one can absolutely destroy a run especially towards the end. Need to fall through a gap with two spikes on either side? Better hope the game decides your not half a pixel too far to the left or right and oops your dead. Some of the enemies can be frustrating to deal with. The flying octopus for instance with its phase ability. Some enemies can destroy the environments before you have a chance to even realize what’s going on leaving the floor on fire and you struggling to avoid clusters of flying enemies but that’s a part of random generated levels as opposed to curated design. You gain variety and a little bit of BS difficulty spiking is along for the ride. All in all, a very charming game. The game play loop was addictive and it was very clear that this was a passion project. Most of my complaints are to be expected with a smaller game like this let alone one of 2014. I think $7 feels a bit steep of an asking price. I doubt most folks will put 40 hours in like I did. If you like 2D games, rough lights, or new grounds; I think you’ll get a kick out of this one. Maybe wait for it to go on sale or buy a discounted key. Cheers! 8.5/10

Просто игра которая была сделана на на 10 минут гемплея но из за растягивания циферками проходится 3 года. И также в зале с повышающими мето прогрессию НПС стоит полный рессетер. Короче 10 сухих каках из 2. А оценка этой поделки 1 из 100.

3/10

Simple, but fun. A great introduction to rogue-like genre. Not a whole lot to the game play loop, but it feels well polished for how simple it is.

The gameplay gets repetitive real fast. I progressed quite far in an hour but ultimately wasn't inspired to continue.

Meh 4/10, not recommended.

Really hate to give this a bad review, but the flash game was much much better. The whole draw of that for me was the class system, which virtually is nonexistant here. For reworking so many mechanics, they didn't actually improve the flash jankyness. If you want to get this game, just play the original version. It's free and better.

Поиграл полчаса, понял что хватит. Слишком всё топорно и уныло. НЕ рекомендую. 77% положительных отзывов из которых наверное 50% от людей, которые наиграли < 1 часа, окей.
