Hyper Light Drifter

Hyper Light Drifter Will Come To PC and Mac March 31st

Hyper Light Drifter is a Indie game that came to Kickstarter asking for $27,000 and ended up raising an impressive $650,000. I bought in after the Kickstarter and was allowed access to an early Steam build. The game is beautiful but I wasn't as impressed with the initial builds as i'd have liked. I imagine they haven't been sitting on their hands and the game has advanced in terms of gameplay, story and setting such that from this trailer it looks just as great as i'd hoped.

Hyper Light Drifter will finally launch on PC and Mac March 31st.

With a final Kickstarter funding level at 650k of the initially asked for 24k, this game should be coming strong. According to the developers Hyper Light Drifter will launch mid 2014 on PC, Linux, Mac, PS4, Vita, Wii U & OUYA.

Hyper Light Drifter is a 2D Action RPG in the vein of the best 8-bit and 16-bit classics, with modernized mechanics and designs on a much grander scale.

Visions for this game have been fluttering in my skull for ages; something dark and fantastic, with giant forests to navigate, huge floating structures to explore, deep crumbling ruins to loot, massive throngs of enemies to rend, and behemoths both flesh and mechanical to overcome.
