I couldn’t tie my shoelaces as a six year old kid, let alone live in a deserted underground maze and fight for my own survival, battling robots, traversing obstacles, and solving puzzles.
But I didn’t have a powerful robot companion by the name of DROID either. Thankfully clever six year old Vesta does.
DROID will tackle the physical challenges that your body can’t cope with, making your adventure throughout the abandoned complex Vesta finds herself in all the more easier. DROID also seems to be more than capable of taking out the enemy robots and other dangers lurking around. Thank god for DROID.
However, there are still the puzzles and obstacles across the 36 levels to take on, and that bit will require some brain-power on your part. Soon you will come to understand that Vesta’s brains and DROID’s power are a recipe for a great team, and both their abilities will come in useful along the way – but it is the more mysterious secrets about the story of Vesta that will be yours to discover…
If you are looking for a traditional puzzler with some arcade and shooting elements, all wrapped up in a tale for you to explore, then Vesta should be on your watch list. It is available right now on Xbox One via the Microsoft Store for £11.99.

Game Description:
Vesta is a witty 6-year-old girl who lives in a desolate underground maze – the ruins of a once-bright city inhabited by humans and perfect machines. Although this world can be lonely, she is kept company by her friend BOT. It advises her and encourages her to do the tasks she is assigned, although it knows much more than it lets on. In order to survive in this passive yet hostile environment, BOT will give Vesta a real helper – DROID. He may be a bit rough around the edges, but he’ll handle physical tasks that would be impossible for a fully grown adult, let alone a little girl. Besides, he is the perfect weapon to defend against the dangers lurking in the remains of this abandoned complex. Join Vesta as she explores various environments over 36 levels full of obstacles and enemy robots. She’ll need her brains and DROID’s power to traverse this varied landscape, properly manage the little energy left in the complex, solve the numerous puzzles she finds in her path, and even fight to survive. But most of all she will need to discover the truth of this story.
