  Vzerthos is an interesting mixture of top-down shooter and action RPG, but neither the shooter elements nor the RPG elements are really quite there enough, and I think I spent more time beating on walls trying to find secrets than I did with anything else in the game. It's not a *terrible* game, the worst I can say being that the controls are somewhat awkward for the type of high-action game it wanted to be, but it was also just never more than okay. For the RPG elements, the only advancement is through items and buying new things from the store. That said, you still feel much more powerful at endgame than at the beginning of the game... but you also use the base weapons a lot, because you never really get the ammo capacity to really go hard with your ranged weapons. For the shooter elements, there's not really much that can't be solved without any real difficulty, either just with sword hit-and-runs, or by things like bouncing shots from around a corner, and Vzerthos can carry a giant stock of potions for the few times he can't just avoid danger. So yeah, not recommended. It's not awful, though, and is at least decently fun sometimes during the 3 hour playtime.

  This is one of those games you start and are a bit apprehensive about. It's not a AAA, or a indie studio with 10 veterans, but rather 1 or 2 guys who have made a really nice, diamond in the rough. Are there bugs, I've run across 2 map out-of-bound issues, that I reported and the dev was really responsive. Every time I start it up, I end up playing for a while. It's like Zelda meets Diablo. Constant progression, and a good pace of unlocking new abilities and weapons make this a really enjoyable experience. Once you get past your starting equipment you will start to feel more and more powerful, which is nice. It's also easy to go back and get secrets you may have missed. It's easily worth the $6.99 ($6.29) on sale right now.

  Fun play. Accidentally fell in the lava pit a few times and got caught in a couple doorways, but 10/10 would pointlessly die again. This reminded me of some of my favorite arcade games; I felt refreshed while playing this.

  [b] Vzerthos: The Heir of Thunder [/b] is a mixture of isometric RPG and top-down shooter. I like the soundtrack which I assume is a DOOM tribute. Well, what else an angry face in the middle would reference to ;). Basically, the gameplay feels like Diablo with WASD controls, very similar to NOX. Although the actual RPG elements are very simplified in favor of a more skill oriented gameplay. Overall I thought the game was decent if you can adapt to a rather quick movement. Actually, if you go to options and zoom out it makes the game feel a lot better in my opinion. I personally found Vzerthos very nostalgic because of all the references in style, music, and gameplay. Game length is about 3-4 hours on average. Dungeons have plenty of secrets and achievements if that is something you like to grind. You do have to use your brain a little to solve some basic puzzles like moving boxes on pressure pads. Over the course of the story, you will get a good variety of weapons with unique mechanics. Plus you get a couple of fun spells. There is not much of a loot system besides some passive bonuses. World area is split into 4 major sections which differentiate in enemies and environment. For a budget title, I thought each part of the gameplay was mostly sufficient. [h1] Pros: [/h1] +nostalgic soundtrack & gameplay +big variety of weapons +lots of secret areas +good balance between action and puzzles +easy way to navigate once you have access to warp area +decent pixel art considering small team [h1]Cons: [/h1] -relatively short -bugs are not uncommon -average gamer may find it a little too easy -the movement was not very gradual -slightly confusing objectives [b] Final Thoughts 7/10 [/b] This game relies a lot on nostalgia for old-school games. I found it rather amusing to hear some soundtrack parodies of my favorite titles. It is not the best top-down shooter out there but at the very least I think it justified the low price. ...........................................................................................................

  Short version... Buy this on sale. This is not a BAD game but it could be a lot better. Enemies in the first hour of the game all look very similar and come in exclusively three types. Melee, crossbow and a small melee guy. Are there other enemies later on? I hope so but I’m not that far in. The controls are just barely tricky enough that the bit of zig zagging between lava pools is a minor challenge. The plot is basic but feels like you are jumping in somewhere in the middle. However, the bit of exposition at the beginning is all you will see of the plot in the first hour of the game so that bits not so bad. It does get a bit repetitive after a while. Wander maze killing small groups of baddies. Push box on button or in front of traps. Get locked in square room and fight off a larger group of the same baddies. Thus far that's about it. I can forgive the basic level art work if the game is engaging. But I'm already getting bored with it. That’s why I’m reviewing it with only the limited time I’ve put into it. I’m not sure I care enough to play much further. So, there you go. On the plus side lots of baddies to kill. You get stuff on a moderately regular basis. I've found two new weapons thus far and am only about an hour in. If I had to guess I'd say this was one of the devs early works. It does seem like something one could do with Stencyl or a similar program. Final analysis is the question is "Do you recommend this." No. "Would I recommend NOT purchasing this?" Also no. But that's not the question the store page asks of reviewers. I bought this on sale and am not unhappy. But If I'd paid the full $7 I'd probably not have been quite so pleased with myself or it.

  Plays like a half-completed game. Combat is boring. I gave it 20 minutes and it bored me to tears.
