Vertical Drop Heroes HD Comes to PS4, PS Vita, and Xbox One

The team at Digerati and Nerdook is pleased to announced that the downward 2D Monster Battler known as Vertical Drop Heroes HD is coming to the Xbox One, PS4 and PS Vita in February. While I’ve traded emails with the team and watched a trailer for the game. I can’t wait for one of my writers as well as you to have access. Let’s dig into what the game is as well as when you’ll have access.

Get ready as all this information will be an overload and will teach you many new things. I know it did as I learned the concept of the game came from one person. Vertical Drop Heroes is a procedural platformer RPG hybrid with roguelike elements, where your hero adventures through randomly generated stages. Armed with a variety of skills and traits, you must use your cunning and reflexes to survive the dangers of each stage, until you face the final boss and uncover the truth behind the game!

Key Features

  • Randomly generated stages, enemies and bosses, resulting in a very replayable game
  • Artwork, coding and animation done by one person, Nerdook, in his unique style
  • Split screen, local co-op
  • Destructible terrain and multiple uses for each skill gives you plenty of options to approach the different situations generated
  • Tons of skills, abilities, traits and powers that you can unlock in the game, creating a different hero each time
