Just Amazing!

Everything about this game is just incredible! The pixel art, the soundtrack, the combat is fast and fluid, even the story which has no dialogue but comes together through imagery. The touch controls are very well done and work great, but an mfi controller really makes it a console experience. Just a stellar, mysterious, gorgeous fun game - great job and thank you!

I Re-Purchased This game

I already owned this game on nintendo switch but when i saw it had been re-released on mobile I immediately bought it again. I was already looking for an excuse to beat this incredible game again and now I can do it on my phone! The mobile controls don’t take away from the experience. Its a bit difficult to do precise aiming/platforming but the combat is still very fluid and feels great.

Amazing port

I got Hyper Light Drifter on PC when it first came out, and it instantly became my favourite game. Years later, it still holds that title. The art, the atmosphere, and the story combine to make a truly unique experience. I was a little hesitant to pick up the mobile port since I wasn’t sure how the tight controls would translate to a touch screen, but somehow the devs have made it work perfectly! The only issue is that shooting your gun is much harder than on pc, and you might want to use a controller if you want that part of the experience to be as good as it was in the original version.
