You need to know going into this game that despite you having a gun and a dash ability, this game is difficult. Some other things includes a simple yet fun combat system that was easy to learn yet hard to master. Ranging from pretty easy to extremely difficult, but even the hard ones I had a fun time with. The enemies were great, but the bosses were the ones that shined. Each of these enemies and bosses are unique, both visually and in attack patterns, and are a lot fun to play. Going back to the different areas, each area has their own set of unique enemies and bosses. All of these secret rooms have a faded symbol in front of the entrance, so finding those symbols was also a lot fun. But having this open world also allowed a lot of secret rooms to be placed into the game. It allowed me to go on my own pace in each area. Having the ability to explore this land was also great. It's all beautiful, diverse, and ready to be explored. You fight ninjas in a white and bright blue water city in the east, robots that are littered underneath the ground of a barren wasteland in the south, samurai-like characters in the pink and green forest of the west, and birds in the snow covered mountains in the north. Each area is unique not just in color, but in style and enemies as well.
#Hyper light drifter review hard full
This world is full of beautiful colors: From the bright pink of the trees to the light, vibrant blue of your sword, this game is a neon beauty. But the environment that is set up from this is fantastic.

You just know you play as some person in this dystopia of a world, and the story is not told by words, but by pictures and video. Hyper Light Drifter isn't a big story game. What makes this game stand out from the rest is that the creator of this game, Alex Preston, has a heart disease, which is a major source of inspiration for this game. You spend your time exploring, fighting, and platforming through this forgotten world starting in a central town and going either north, south, east, or west, and all in a 16-bit art style. Hyper Light Drifter is a 2d action rpg game developed by Heart Machine in which you play as an unnamed character in a dystopian world.
