Description
Finally, Heart Machine's award winning slash-'em-up arrives to iOS in the most polished and refined version yet, the Special Edition.
► Winner of the Audience Award and Excellence in Visual Art awards of the prestigious Independent Games Festival.
► 14 + nominations among the Best Visual Design, Best Audio and Best original Game categories.
► 9/10 Destructoid - A hallmark of excellence. There may be flaws, but they are negligible and won't cause massive damage.
► 9.5/10 Game Informer - The combination of soundtrack, art, and combat creates a rabbit hole worth your full exploration.
► Eurogamer Recommended - Heart Machine's slash-'em-up is punishing and precise - and incredibly beautiful.
► 9/10 GameSpot - It is more than simply pretty; Hyper Light Drifter uses its visuals to both guide and relax you. The grandest vistas calm your pulse between difficult, breathless combat sequences.
► 8.5 Polygon - Hyper Light Drifter deftly mixes contemplative moments with breakneck action.
► 5 Stars Darkstation - The top-down action-RPG Hyper Light Drifter is an amazing game: gorgeous, a fascinating world to explore, tight controls, beautiful music, and the faith in the player for you to figure things out on your own.
Echoes of a dark and violent past resonate throughout a savage land, steeped in treasure and blood. 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.
Hyper Light Drifter is an action adventure RPG in the vein of the best 16-bit classics, with modernized mechanics and designs on a much grander scale. Explore a beautiful, vast and ruined world riddled with dangers and lost technologies.
Features:
● 120 fps gameplay on iPad Pro / 60 fps on iPhone and iPad.
● Compatible with MFi controllers.
● Game Center achievements.
● Haptic Vibration.
● 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.
● Evocative soundtrack composed by Disasterpeace.
● All the content from the original game + more weapons, enemies and areas from the Special edition.

One of the best games ever made
Got this game on Switch a few years back and it became an instant favorite. For only $5 this port is an actual steal. Buy it immediately.
Best game ever
Best game ever
stunning.
Absolutely beautiful. Takes “a picture is worth a thousand words” to the next level.
the most atmospheric game i've played
this game does a good job showing but not telling. In fact there is no dialogue to this game. Through visuals and music cues you move about the game. I haven't gotten far into the game as of yet but so far it's very good!
Issues on newer devices.
Please hide the home bar on newer devices. Until Apple gives users the option to do it ourselves, it’s up to app developers to do it, so please get on it, Abylight. It never goes away while playing the game and is extremely distracting. Also despite having ‘improved compatibility’ with 120hz screens, the game still runs in slow-mo if you don’t limit your device’s fps to 60 in Settings. Game itself is great, i’ve played it many times and have all the achievements on steam, this version is more than serviceable aside from the minor issues.
Didn’t think through the controls for mobile devices
Great game but unfortunately I can’t give it a better rating because the controls for shooting your blaster weren’t thought out enough for them to be fully functional. For example if you try shooting an enemy, you can only fire in the direction the character is moving and can’t really aim if u need to move to the left and shoot straight. I wish I could give it a better rating but unfortunately for me until this gets fixed I’m afraid it’s a one star rating especially because it’s a paid game. You’d think you wouldn’t have to deal with this type of problem if your paying for something.
One of the only good reasons to have an iPad
I literally got an iPad and familiarized myself with iOS… only to play this.
Great game
Really fun game, but I’m playing with a controller
