PQube, Studica Solution and Electric Monkeys have just announced the release date for their upcoming 2D Arena platforming shooter, Gravity Heroes, bringing its gravity-defying action to the screens much sooner than expected.
TSA writes: Gravity Heroes tricked me. Taking one glance at the cutesy pixelated visuals, I assumed it would be the perfectly chilled out choice for some fun local play. Oh, how wrong I was. Gravity Heroes is far from a bad game, but it is an unrelentingly difficult one. This is a game that makes UFC’s Alexander Volkanovski look harmless in comparison.
Paul writes: "Gravity Heroes on Xbox manages to bring a few good ideas to the table, and does just enough to allow it to be something to recommend - no matter whether you are alone or if you have a few friends around."
Michael Kitchin writes, "Gravity Heroes is best played with others. Whilst you can tackle the campaign alone, the boss fights seem to be scaled for multiple players. It's also where the game's creativity resides. The controls can take some getting used to but the gravity mechanic does mean thinking about foes from all angles. Combat is fine although a little more variety could have helped with weapons, in particular, being on the small side. It's all presented nicely with some detailed visuals but the remaining modes don't appear to offer much in the way of longevity."
