You might decide to start from afar, firing a laser beam and tossing a grenade to take out the most dangerous foes, then dash in with your sword to mop up the remaining horde. There are often multiple ways to approach a situation, and how you choose to apply your various weapons and skills is up to you. As you move throughout forests, mountains, and underground caverns, you’ll encounter enemies of all shapes and sizes in various combinations and densities. While there’s plenty of nimble platforming and exploration to be done in Hyper Light Drifter, the core of the game really boils down to its combat. You’ll get access to new guns, additional sword and dash techniques, healing enhancements, and even grenades, if you so choose.
No proper video game these days would go without upgrades and progression, and there are plenty of new skills to learn and tools to acquire as you play. As you explore the terrain, you’ll face monsters and platforming challenges, using your sword, gun, and dashing abilities to fight and traverse.
You play as the Drifter, an aptly-named warrior who appears suddenly and wanders through a ruined world, never staying in one place for too long. Now that it’s in our hands, though, it’s clear that every second of that time was worth the wait. Hyper Light Drifter is the epitome of polish.Ī Kickstarted game that exploded beyond its original goals, thanks to a visually stunning prototype and the promise of a modernized take on challenging 8 and 16-bit classics, it took nearly three years to deliver.
