Echoes of a dark and violent past resonate throughout a savage land, steeped in treasure and blood. Hyper Light Drifter is an action adventure RPG in the vein of the best 16­bit classics, with modernized mechanics and designs on a much grander scale.

Eu comecei a jogar esse jogo puramente pela trilha sonora e pela ambiência mas fui surpreendido por um gameplay polido e inimigos com padrões muito legais de aprender, o jogo te recompensa por tudo, pela agilidade, pela curiosidade em explorar, tudo feito com carinho e atenção, valeu cada centavo, faça me o favor e jogue aproveitando a historia pois ela é muito linda e CINISTRA com esses colossos e tecnologia espalhado pela mapa
