I like the game

Hyper Light Drifter is een zeldzaam goede game de graphical style de ongelofelijke aandacht voor kleine details en de fantastische sound past perfect in de setting en zorgt ervoor dat de game je onmiddellijk pakt en niet meer loslaat.De game is in essentie een action game met hack en slash en shooting gameplay maar de game als geheel is zo veel meer,alles is er op gericht om je nieuwsgierigheid te prikkelen door middel van graphics geluid gameplay en story de developers zijn daar ongelooflijk goed in geslaagd.Ik kan niet anders dan deze game met het maximale aantal 💫💫💫💫💫 te waarderen.

Could have been a great game

It really really annoying that it restarts with your last health after death, not full health. This is annoying when you are going to face strong enemies. The upgrade is also slow. You need collect 12 pieces to just uptyour sword. All this makes the gaming experience very bad.

Amazing experience!

The gameplay, art and especially the music is amazing! They did a great job porting this to a small touchscreen device. Highly recommend the game, though I’m not sure how well it will play on harder bosses with these controls.
