Vertical Drop Heroes HD
About
Vertical Drop Heroes HD is a rogue-like RPG with a procedurally generated environment. This is the remake of a web-platformer in HD quality.
Gameplay
The player takes a role of the famous dungeon explorer set to go as far as he can in his explorations. The protagonist — his name always varies depending on the skills and background chosen — examines the 2D levels consisting of destructible and indestructible blocks filled with enemies.
There is a variety of spells, weaponry, and foes usual to RPGs. Every once in a while a player encounters a boss. All the progress except for the skill points is lost after death. Between the respawns the protagonist can upgrade the level of his successors using the goods he found on his previous dungeon run.
The title feature split-screen cooperative and online multiplayer for a maximum of 4 characters. The game is highly replayable due to the procedurally generated of the environment. The game suggests only going down into the dungeon thus the name. The skills may bring variety into descending every time.
Plot
Contrary to the most rogue-likes where the successors of the protagonist are presented as his offsprings, here we have the prophecy of a great hero and some kamikazes who suddenly thought it is a tale about them — so the succession does not last long hence the immersive mechanics work on the better level.
