Stunning graphics and gameplay
This gorgeous PC port-to-mobile title packs enticing graphics and impressive music. These two combined, along with fantastic gameplay, set Hyper Light Drifter apart from the rest of the titles in the genre.
The full experience in your pocket
Hyper Light Drifter is a role-playing game, where you run through environments with beautiful colors and a perfect soundtrack.
This title is breathtakingly beautiful. You’ll find yourself constantly pausing to appreciate the designs and the intricacies in each level. Each area is so wonderfully designed, and the pixel art is striking.
This title is both visually and auditorily engaging. The soundtrack is one of the many elements that will resonate well with any player.
The enemies will grow tougher to face as you progress, and your starter weapon won’t cut it anymore. You’ll need to upgrade your weapon, learn powerful skills, collect new equipment, and traverse this detailed world if you want to succeed.
Each time your character receives a blow, you’ll feel it. Your phone vibrates at the same time, adding further depth to the overall gaming experience. Indeed, you’ll feel the sensation fairly often, as the controls are mismatched when you’re attempting to perform combos. However, this is limited to larger devices that are harder to hold and reach across to press buttons.
The gameplay is the same as Hyper Light Drifter’s PC counterpart, as the standard and special edition features are present.
Where can you run this program?
This game can be installed on IOS 12.0 and up. It also runs on Windows 7 and later.
Is there a better alternative?
No. Hyper Light Drifter is beautiful and the audio is incomparable to any similar game. Great alternatives for anyone with a limited budget are Star Hunter and Caves (Roguelike). Paid options worth trying include Severed and Dead Cells.
Our take
This is an amazing mobile RPG that’ll keep you on your toes as you explore the stunning environments. Even with its small hiccups with control configuration, the title still stands out in the crowd.
Should you download it?
Yes. If you’re in need of a serious RPG and want a challenge, you’ve found the right one.
