Hyper Light Drifter is the result of a successful Kickstarter campagin by Heart Machine games. The game has a gorgeous pixel art aesthetic seen from a top down view.
The game places you in the shoes of a nameless protagonist as you venture through a strange sci-fi world and battle enemies and bosses in a quest to find out the truth behind the events taking palce in the world.
Part Zelda, part Dark Souls, Hyper Light Drifter relies on fast paced and brutally tough combat. Players are armed with a sword and a handful of sidearms that can be found throughout the game and must battle their way through hordes of enemies by using careful dashing, timing and learning enemy patterns,
With a tough as nails combat system, interesting art style and a story thats left of to the player to discover, Hyper Light Drifter is certainly unique. But how is the game in reality? Does it live up to it's hype or does it fall short?
