RPG Gamers summary

Hyper Light Drifter is an action-adventure RPG game that takes place in a treacherous land brimming with past violence and abundant treasure. The game’s mechanics and designs draw inspiration from best 16-bit classics but are updated to a grander scale. The drifters in this world are collectors of forgotten knowledge, lost technologies, and broken histories. Players take on the character of a drifter haunted by an insatiable illness, journeying deeper into the lands of Buried Time, searching for a solution to his affliction. In this game, the enemies are numerous and fierce, hazards aplenty, and friendly faces rare. Each character and even subtle background elements are hand-animated, resulting in a beautifully crafted game. It is easy to learn but challenging to master, and players can upgrade their weapons, learn new skills, discover equipment, and explore a dark world filled with branching paths and secrets.
