Hyper Light Drifter is the 2D action role-playing game coming Spring 2016; made in a 8-bit and 16-bit classic format, with a modern design and logic, though with a different take and on a larger scale. Explore a world inspired by dreams and nightmares alike, where vast ruined landscapes reveal new dangers and hidden technologies just waiting to be discovered; it has been said that Hyper Light Drifter will be an amalgamation of classic games like Diablo and Zelda A Link to the Past.

The character of the game has an illness of the heart and must travel through this world of forgotten technology to find a cure. He carries with him an energy sword that he can enhance when adding other modules and power from the technology he find throughout the games; he also can access, use other weapons and abilities he will find through the game. Be prepared to fight some pretty awful monsters that are the stuff of nightmares, and learn how to defeat them.
