The acclaimed indie game, Hyper Light Drifter, makes a triumphant return, landing on Android as the Hyper Light Drifter Special Edition. Originally captivating iOS players in 2019, this 2D action-adventure RPG from Heart Machine is now available on Google Play.
Ever Played It Before?
In Hyper Light Drifter Special Edition, you embody the Drifter, a technologically adept adventurer exploring a vibrant yet perilous world brimming with lost technologies and hidden lore. Adding depth to the epic exploration and combat is your character's struggle with a mysterious illness, weaving a personal quest for survival and a cure into the narrative.
Rich with treasure and steeped in the echoes of a dark past, the savage lands of Hyper Light Drifter offer an unforgettable journey filled with danger, discovery, and a compelling narrative that lingers long after the credits roll.
Gameplay is challenging yet rewarding. Weapons, such as the energy sword that charges with successful hits, demand precision and strategic thinking. The game’s stunning 16-bit visuals are a highlight, transporting you through breathtaking landscapes: golden deserts, vibrant pink forests, and crystalline mountains bursting with color.
The Special Edition boasts enhancements including up to 60fps gameplay, a brand-new Tower Climb mode, and the addition of the Crystal Shot and Blade Caster Sword. A new outfit awaits discovery, alongside Google Play Achievements to collect, and gamepad compatibility for those preferring button controls over touch.
