Dying of some disease beset on by the black ooze pooling up from deep inside the dying planet. Who I discovered created a lot of this modeled after some of his own trial and tribulations facing Heart Disease at a young age. A lot of this story also didn't open up until I replayed it a second time, taking the time to explore every inch I could of this world crafted by lead developer Alex Preston. But, beneath that, is a story of a civilization that once stood majestically at the top and crumbled beneath its own technological genius. Which for the most part if you didn't take the time to analyze, might fail to see a cryptic weaving of hieroglyphic and non-verbal bubble-text drawings. What caught me by surprise was the detail that went into the story. I would say the mark isn't far from accurate in the sense of making a beautiful 2D Action RPG set in a ruined world with lost technology and this strange seeping black ooze covering the ground poisoning the living world. On the wiki it is labeled as a mix between The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past and Diablo. Developed by the small indie team known as Heart Studio and released in 2016, Hyper Light Drifter hit the scene and has slowly garnered positive after positive review. ![]() This indie title did in fact slip by me, that is until recently. Hyper Light Drifter is one of those titles you see popping up about once or twice a year that may sneak by. ![]()
