Description
Explore a beautiful, vast and ruined world riddled with dangers and lost technologies. Echoes of a dark and violent past resonate throughout a savage land, steeped in treasure and blood. Hyper Light Drifter is an action adventure RPG in the vein of the best 16­bit classics, with modernized mechanics and designs on a much grander scale.

Drifters of this world are the collectors of forgotten knowledge, lost technologies and broken histories. Our Drifter is haunted by an insatiable illness, traveling further into the lands of Buried Time, hoping to discover a way to quiet the vicious disease.
  • From each character to subtle background elements, everything is lovingly hand-animated.
  • Easy to pick up, difficult to master; enemies are vicious and numerous, hazards will easily crush your frail body, and friendly faces remain rare.
  • Upgrade weapons, learn new skills, discover equipment and traverse a dark, detailed world with branching paths and secrets abound.

Minimum system requirements:

Mac notice: The game is 32-bit only and will not work on macOS 10.15 and up.

Simply an excellent game

Challenging yet fair and fun combat which looks and feels badass. Eerie soundtracks which perfectly fits with the mysterious and intriguing story and the beautiful scenery. One playthrough takes roughly 6-10 hours which is filled with quality gameplay. And great exploration that rewards you for actually taking your time to look around.

Beautiful art/music, great game, short

I love the artstyle. The music is fantastic. The animated cutscene is amazing. The gameplay is great. It's just really really short and feels like its lacking in content. Its something that could be a real contender for topdown Zelda games, but for whatever reason, the developers decided not to go that far. The animated cutscene that is in the game is so good and you expect to see more, yet you just see the one over and over again. Really not much to complain about here. Its a very good game, but it could have been so much better. And, yeah, I found it pretty disappointing that the devs didn't make achievements for the game when they are there for the Steam version.

What a Gem

Brilliant. Took me back to Zelda-like exploration (N64) and doesn't hand-hold. Please may we have more like this to all the developers out there.

A Great Throwback

This is an outstanding way to spend a few hours. This is the rare experience that really takes you back to the days of 16-bit adventure hack and slash games. You can think of it like a scifi Zelda. The mechanics are fun and the boss battles are very rewarding after you figure out the patterns. I wish I knew more about the storyline, but the animated scenes are also very well done. It also runs at 60 FPS (at launch this wasn't available). Highly recommended!
