► 5 Stars Darkstation - The top-down action-RPG Hyper Light Drifter is an amazing game: gorgeous, a fascinating world to explore, tight controls, beautiful music, and the faith in the player for you to figure things out on your own.
Echoes of a dark and violent past resonate throughout a savage land, steeped in treasure and blood. Drifters of this world are the collectors of forgotten knowledge, lost technologies and broken histories. Our Drifter is haunted by an insatiable illness, traveling further into the lands of Buried Time, hoping to discover a way to quiet the vicious disease.
Hyper Light Drifter is an action adventure RPG in the vein of the best 16-bit classics, with modernized mechanics and designs on a much grander scale. Explore a beautiful, vast and ruined world riddled with dangers and lost technologies.

Ratings and Reviews
Wowie!
I downloaded Hyper Light Drifter just a few days ago and man, I’m having a blast. It’s the perfect game for players that enjoy a good challenge (combat and mechanics) along with fine storyline and FANTASTIC soundtrack... oh, and of course, upgrades! Dude I absolutely adore the 16-bit art style and graphics, it brings so much joy to play a game with these kind of graphics once again after many years.
Aight peace I’m gonna play league now need to rank up
A must!
I rarely write review on the app store. But this game deserves one. The artwork is stunning, the music beautiful, the animations are fantastic. The way they implemented the haptic feedback is so cool. Highly recommended.
Brilliant.
Great game on console, fantastic with controller on iPad Pro.
