With its modernized mechanics and designs on a much grander scale, Hyper Light Drifter offers an action-adventure RPG experience in the vein of the best 16-bit classics.

Discover a dark and detailed world with branching paths, hazards that could easily crush your frail body, and numerous vicious enemies. Upgrade your weapons, learn new skills, discover equipment, and explore secrets abound. This game is easy to pick up, but difficult to master.

The game also supports 120 fps gameplay on iPad Pro and 60 fps on iPhone and iPad, making for a smooth and immersive gaming experience. It is compatible with MFi controllers, has Game Center achievements, and features haptic vibration.

Moreover, everything from each character to subtle background elements is lovingly hand-animated, and the evocative soundtrack composed by Disasterpeace adds to the immersive experience. With all the content from the original game and more weapons, enemies, and areas from the Special Edition, Hyper Light Drifter is an amazing game that promises an unforgettable gaming experience.
