Our take on Vintage Hero
The store copy foregrounds the 8-bit revival and story, while the playable scope is defined more concretely by six stages, seven boss battles, and a compact upgrade system. The result is a focused platformer rather than a broad adventure.
What is Vintage Hero?
Vintage Hero is an action platformer set in a robot society facing an alien invasion.
Players control Floyd, a county jail custodian, alongside mentor Mac and friend Kricket as they confront General and the invading army. The campaign contains six stages that can be tackled in different orders while the story unfolds, followed by seven boss encounters requiring powers gained from defeated bosses.
