Mar 11, 2025Head Over Heels: Deluxe also runs like a charm on the Steam Deck, and if you’d told 14-year-old me that I could spend a weekend lying on a sofa playing Head Over Heels, he frankly never would have moved ever again. Maybe it’s a good thing that the Deluxe Remake has taken so long to appear.

Mar 18, 2025Head Over Heels Deluxe is the re-release, executed with some laziness since it is taken heavily from the Spectrum Next version, of a 1987 isometric classic renowned for innovative gameplay and platform-puzzle challenges. Players control two agents, Head and Heels, each with unique abilities, who must work together to defeat the Blacktooth Empire. This new version introduces an additional world, 32 collectibles and technical improvements while maintaining the difficulty of the original. While fidelity to the past is to be admired, some historical issues remain unchanged.

Mar 17, 2025The Deluxe version of this 1987 classic from Jon Ritman brings improvements like better controls, new worlds, and updated graphics, staying faithful to the original. However, it still lacks some modern conveniences like shadows and CRT filters, and its Steam release feels a bit underwhelming with limited features. Fans of the original will appreciate the nostalgia, but newcomers may find it challenging.
