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.

This game sits comfortably on the pedestal of my all time favourite games. Simple, snappy, atmospheric, challenging, satisfying and beautiful.
A great short game with a cool vibe and atmosphere.
Pretty good. If you like this game, it pales in comparison to Death's Door and Tunic, so make sure to check those out. The story is very interesting, and the gameplay is awesome though. Id give it a 7.5/10
The most insufferable fucking achievments in gaming history
This game is so-so, get if you like dashy-slashies.
Gameplay is pretty good.
Story draws you in with a "show, don't tell" approach but kind of peters out without a super interesting resolution or lore explanation. There is a vague lore if you're willing to grind for hidden things but it's not worth it.
Love this game except for 2 huge issues for me that make me not recommend it. One was the complete lack of story. Everything story related is vaguely hinted at but never anything remotely solid so it's very hard to get into the world. Second is exploration. No sense of where to go at all or what to do. There's nothing leading you to what you should be doing. Love the art style and music though!
I'm sure you get tools later, but the game is ridiculously difficult at the start. Can you keep trying again and again? Sure. But after 7th time trying to clear a room or so, with no understanding of the scope of this game, it feels like you're getting no where.
Some of the enemies are very cheap. Healing forces you to stand there so basically having extra healing is useless, you better finish the room after taking two hits. Maybe I went into an area that was too advanced for me, but I have no clue how I would know that. There's being mysterious and trusting your players, and then there's just being esoteric. Animal Wells is thirty times better at this than this game.
I saw something about "if you're unfamiliar with Contra or other old school games". Old school games still did their job. They communicated to you what you could do. This game doesn't compare to any of these classics. It makes bad game design decisions just to be harder than the classics. Well of course it's harder, you don't communicate to the player. Contra had power ups in stage one, you didn't have to go digging to find them. There's no comparison here whatsoever, it's just "urgh hard games make me hard" bs.
I was looking forward to Hyper Light Breaker but if they don't balance out your first time experience, I'm not going to invest in it. Read the book on Blizzard and pay attention to a lesson they learned in an arcade game they developed forever ago where a kid died once and walked away. That was a lesson from thirty years ago.
The atmosphere of the world itself is awesome and there's intriguing story elements, but the actual moment to moment game play feels tedious to me.
Its an amazing and beautiful game. Very challenging and very rewarding game play. 10/10 would recommend spending the time to 100%.
I would have loved this game even if it was only the half hour I have played so far. The fact that there is much more in store is very exciting. This game just sucks you right in to its world.
Some of the best pixel art I've seen in my 37 years of gaming. Buy this game!
One of the most beautiful games ever! Now at 1st when you get into it you be a bit confused but overtime you start to feel more connected with your character and you fall in love with the game. The artwork, combat, bosses, npcs, story, and more. It's a very beautiful and sad game.
This game is a really great experience. The art direction, sound design, and music are insanely good. The pixel art is phenomenal. The gameplay is really good too. I felt like the difficulty was just right. Sometimes I wished I got more checkpoints, or auto-saves because I would have to redo several fights sometimes. But maybe that's me being too spoiled from other games. Overall, I highly recommend this game. It's a great experience, with good combat, an interesting world that's fun to explore, and lots of extra challenge if you like that sort of thing.
I had seen the April fools animation by nightmargin as a gif enough that I genuinely thought that was the real ending before I actually finished the game.
-Very pretty aesthetics
-Very memorable music
-Nice sound design, no really, the game sounds both nice and distinct, especially the techy stuff
-Very cool vibes
-Has several very memorable moments, mostly in there being cool stuff to see
-No dialogue, story is told exclusively through visuals
-I really enjoy the combat though i think you need move upgrades for it to actually get going and that's likely to take you a while (especially if you invest in things that aren't new moves)
-The game is difficult but if you have experience in difficult games you'll probably find it easy
Relatively short (especially if you don't find it hard), which can be either a good or bad thing depending on what you're looking for. There's 4 regions which are short if you book it for the objective but they contain many side paths and secrets that end in optional rewards.
There are some downsides though:
-Slow to get key upgrades as i said
-The game is very light on both story and lore with the bosses especially getting the short end of the stick (i do get the feeling that there's more to the world then what's explained to you but if it's not in the game, it's not in the game)
-Secret hunting is pretty annoying to do and not very interesting to do with also uninteresting rewards for the most part
-Chain dash upgrade is severely under-used
This game reminded me why and just how much I love video games... From the bottom of my heart. Thank you.
It could be about a lot of things... Anything you want it to be. I think that's why it appeals to people, unless it really is just that the visuals, music and sound design are just that good as to where all of the moments of frustration are overwritten after the fact. I wouldn't rule it out. I imagine we all -want- think of it as more, which is itself befitting of the creator's true intent, don't you think?
While game is fun, they are making the next installment a switch exclusive. All the while begging for money on patreon for nothing aside from "pay us and we'll tell you what's wrong in this industry!" How about you release on steam, the platform that made you popular, and stop pandering. Where are your panderverse friends now? Why aren't you committing to releasing anything aside from 'give us money on patreon'? Funny how if you released the 'switch exclusive' on steam instead, you likely would still have more fans + money.
What a way to dump on your fans, plus their whole affiliation with Sweet Baby inc + DEI. You lost a fan.
A straightforward combat/exploration game, slightly challenging and clunky.
Positives:
- It's obvious what to do. There are 4 areas with collectibles and a boss. They are laid out like big Zelda dungeons with a main path, side objectives and lots of challenges.
- Instead of stat upgrades, you can use your collectibles to buy new abilities which drastically enhance the combat. This feels way more rewarding than damage numbers going up.
- No annoying companion or dialog, but there is still some mysterious story.
Neutral:
- There are lots of secrets but for almost all of them it's just a matter of finding a hidden path.
- There are barely any i-frames so tanking damage is not an option. Fighting groups of enemies is challenging and requires use of all combat tools.
Negatives:
- Just focusing on the gameplay and combat mechanics, the game is incredibly clunky and frustrating for no reason. There are absurd challenges like doing 800 dashes in a row. You can get stun-locked easily and there are other problems with collision and platforming.
game gud, but too little content, finished the whole thing in 6 hours.
Hyper light drifter is a beautiful experience. There is not one letter of text outside of menus, everything is inferred. The music and art style are pixely but also give a newer experience. The combat is excellent, with many options available that you can upgrade as you progress. The game is relatively short compared to most RPS, but has lots to explore and many post-game options as well.
Overall 10/10 well worth your money
cool combat i dont know what the fuck happened in the story
Replaying in prep for Breaker!
Pretty solid game.
If you like finding secrets or 100%ing games then you buy this game. You will have a grand time trying to find everything. I think overall I was the wrong kind of person to buy this game and I didn't realize (I rarely 100% linear games), but I am biased to give a positive review for that incredible artsyle.
The combat feels a bit sticky, but it doesn't really matter because it's not really difficult. Music is ok, but fitting and not bad. I think it's an 8/10 or 9/10 even though I didn't 100% it. I definitely think if you like finding secrets then this will be a 10/10 for you.
There's so many secrets. Go get them!
Beautiful art, engaging story, delicious movement and mechanics. I loved it.
Hyper Light Drifter is an 8/10 action-adventure game that excels in music, atmosphere, and gameplay. The soundtrack and pixel art create an immersive, hauntingly beautiful world, while the clean, responsive movement and combat feel deeply satisfying.
However, the game sometimes lacks a consistent challenge, with certain moments feeling too easy and slightly diminishing the experience. Despite this, its polished design and captivating presentation make it a must-play for fans of atmospheric games.
very short but a real masterpiece, peak music
i drifted
Too much back and forth in its navigation. The level design is not good enough to make up for its lack of direction given to the player. Feels pretentious. I did not like the combat very much either.
best fucking game i have ever goddamn played
The combat is smooth, the visuals are spectacular and the music is so good I still listen to it on the regular - basically, play the damn game
I've been replaying this game so I can organize my thoughts again, and might I say this is the most gorgeous looking pixel art have I seen in a game. I also like the fact you have to look for things even if they're very well hidden (which could lead into some issues with completion, but it's no big complaint). I like this game, and you should try it!
Sound track is pretty goo along with the visuals. I think I'm hearing some psy-trance, retro, chiptune, and hyperpop with some of that having a psychological twist. I like the cut scenes and that character of course.
Satisfying combat.
Wordless, yet compelling narrative.
Gorgeous pixelart.
More secrets than anyone can possibly find on their own.
What else does a good action adventure need?
I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS GAME but i feel its hard to keep playing this, in the sense that it doesnt have a lot of cliffhangers or elements to keep your atention on 2024
capitalism moment
perfect
Oh boy, this is my favorite game, my game tag is not based in this precious masterpiece. Honestly none was able to make this pixel art precious gameplay at all.
I am so exited for the Breaker next game!.
Great game. Loved the minimal story telling, ethereal ambiance, and great action.
The credits are like a quarter of the length of the game. I think they just made a bunch of names up for an endless scroll. Jorken Jorkens? Joseph Grout? Khak? Khov? Kibs? There must be ten thousand people that helped with this. I beat the game over an hour ago and it's only into the Ks. LOL
game
Hyper Light Drifter is a memorable masterpiece.
The first time I played Hyper Light Drifter, I gave up on the game after only a couple of minutes.
The second time, years later, I played it to its end (two times), and now it's become my favourite game of all time.
HLD is a masterpiece of world-building through it's powerful soudtrack and environmental storytelling. Throughout the game, you venture to the different, dangerous regions of HLD's atmospheric and ambient world, discovering secrets, meeting NPCs with stories of their own, and defeating unique enemies and bosses, all while putting the pieces of what has happened together.
The combat is punchy (pronounced by the amazing visuals and sound design) and dynamic. You can buy and find special abilities, weapons, and upgrades that all add more aspects of the game's combat to master.
The layers of HLD's story are beautiful and emotionally-charged.
I wish I could play this game for the first time again.
this game got vibes
The whole story is told in these dumbass pixel art scenes, and with one particular cutscene that you will see 4 times. There are no spoken or written words, making the gameplay rather confusing. While some of the game mechanics are good, some are way too confusing because nothing is explained.
I would recommend against buying this game.
I played Heart machine's other masterpiece solar ash, which i wholeheartedly recommend, before hyper light drifter because the later's difficulty scared me off initially. However this studio has some truly special games that i just want to experience, and so i finally did. I loved it but what can i say about hyper light drifter that hasn't been said yet? Everyone knows the pixel art is perfection and so is the soundtrack, storytelling/symbolism, movement and combat. I don't have much to add there other than they're right, it truly is a masterpiece in every sense of the word. I already knew this before going in but playing it myself made me really understand. The game is just so much fun to play, i played it in 5 sittings, one for each region and one cleanup where i went back for things i missed and killed the final boss to see the end credits. I normally take breaks more often when playing games but HLD just had me hooked. Now i must note that i played this on the easiest difficulty but seeing how fair the game is i can definately see myself going back to try normal, NG+ though i'm not so sure. I think this falls under the MUST PLAY indie games category together with the likes of Ori, Outer Wilds, Gris, Subnautica and quite a few others too at this point. I'm so glad i finally got to play this masterpiece and now i eagerly await hyper light breaker and possessors because this studio just keeps on giving <3
Terrible game, not worth 20$. Save your money.
Love this game so much that I bought it on here even though I already played through the whole thing on Switch.
I am not the biggest fan of pixel art, but Hyper Light Drifter is so incredibly beautiful, I am now converted.
The wordless world-building has so much soul - you will care deeply about these NPCs after just three pictures of "dialogue".
The difficulty level of this game - it's so fun. Some of the collectibles are hidden at the end of some ultra-precise platforming, like dummy stupid precision. It is so rewarding to get some of these collectibles after dying several dozen times. The bosses are of course quite challenging, especially depending on the order you fight them in. I would describe the difficulty of a normal difficulty playthrough with all collectibles as more difficult than the easiest Soulsborne you've played. Without 100% collectibles, the game is still very challenging and finally beating these bosses after a half-dozen deaths feels very rewarding.
The enviroment and gamplay is very cool... Madness everywhere... and those faces 😱
:)
This is the greatest game I have ever played
Very atmospheric game that is easy to get lost in. Several times I've put this game down for years because I just didn't know where to go next. The game certainly doesn't hold your hand. It took me a long time just to figure out you can upgrade your weapons. The pixel art and music do an amazing job setting the tone
Doesn't have cloud saves, 11 hours of progress lost
