Question Tilt rotor and eng fail

How do they (assuming it's possible) control the aircraft if an engine fails? Surely it's impossible in a vertical take off? If that's the case, is the aircraft then limited to short field take offs only? Where you would have enough speed to maintain control with rudder?
