Игра своих денег наверно стоит. Но мне не понравилось. Из плюсов Интересная графика и геймдизайн Возможности прокачки и нелинейность (наверное) Ну вроде доработанная Из минусов Совсем не понравилось управление, я так и не привык. Сюжет в картинках, очень сомнительно Прикол с прицелом, тоже мне слешер. Абсолютное отсутствие интуитивности Невозможность настроить управление, неудобно Рывок с автоприцелом специально тебя бесит. И еще 10 раз записать в минусы управление, прицел и бессмысленные навороты которые портят игру до негативного восприятия Это вот основное. По мелочам мог бы расписывать очень много и с эмоциями. По сути игра понравится многим, но не мне. Я бы оценил субъективно только на 2 звезды за визуальный стиль. Но объективно поставлю 4 звезды что бы не портить рейтинг. Короче очень сомнительно. Удовольствия я так и не получил, просто провел время кое как Хотя я попробовал поиграть еще несколько раз и ничего кроме негатива не испытал… так что все таки заслуживает не более 2х звезд

I don’t know what these bad reviews are on about, but this game is stunning. Great graphics, great soundtrack, great overall. There is ONE thing: this game is HARD. I’ve died at least 6 times in a little more than an hour. If you don’t like difficult games, not for you. But if you do, definitely worth the 3 bucks 10/10, you guys cooked!!!

Please allow us to edit the position, sizes etc of the buttons! As an avid mobile gamer the muscle memory of dash, attack, reload etc doesn’t wear of instantly between games, and It would be much more natural to have the buttons in the usual spots. I really like this game, the art, music, style everything, and the combat would be super good too if the controls would let me use it! I’m on ipad as well so some stuff needs to be moved. Please consider this for a future update, and 5* would be guaranteed!!!!!!!

Hyper light Drifter is critically acclaimed masterpiece that is entertaining for all ages and backgrounds. The game uses a unique means of communicating to the player in game through pictographic depictions of in world lore leaving the player to reflect deeply on the hidden meanings behind the characters in the game. You begin your adventure as the “Drifter” a character with a mysterious background that is facing a declining health. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, the Drifter is set on a arduous adventure to restore peace to the world while dealing with a terminal illness. The game covers themes of loss, death, grievance, hope, and acceptance all without a single word being said in the game. The games use of imagery is that of artistic masterpiece as the pictures in game convey these explored themes. The game uses unique but retro pixelated graphics to its pinnacle as it actively creates its own color aesthetic which players will find themselves appreciating every time there is a scenic view. The landscapes in the game are beautiful with many emotions to be conveyed to the player. Enjoy the game and happy drifting!

No se si sea mecánica del juego o bug, pero luego de jugar unos segundos el juego se entra en una especie de cámara lenta, y en lugar de llamarse Hyper parece más bien Slow Light Drifter. Por lo demás es excelente juego.
