Vertical Drop Heroes HD will arrive on Nintendo Switch on October 4, 2018, publisher Digerati announced today. The game is already available for PlayStation 4, Vita, Xbox One and Steam, but Nintendo fans haven't had a chance to take the plunge until now.

- Randomly generated stages with destructible terrain
- Split screen, local co-op (supports split Joy-Con play)
- Tons of skills, abilities, traits and powers to unlock
- Unique combat system encourages proper planning over quick reflexes
- Persistent upgrades allow you to carry forward progress between games
- Every enemy and boss is designed to provide challenge and variety
- Created by one-man indie machine, Nerdook, in his unique style
