Hyper light drifter walkthrough steam
While there is another person like your character who will aid your quest, not much is known about them or yourself. There isn’t much in the way of characters though. In each area, players are required to collect diamonds to fill out a space in the inventory three are required to reach the boss and four will reveal a small cutscene and open another door.
HYPER LIGHT DRIFTER WALKTHROUGH STEAM UPGRADE
Aside from upgrade screens, the game is basically textless with nothing explicitly telling you what you have to do, but clever placement and repetition of imagery helps teach the player what they need to know. NPCs share their information in the form of pictures, encouraging the player to decipher the meaning.

The story is presented in a series of images and starts off with a full pixel art cinematic, something I can’t recall seeing anywhere else recently and it looks fantastic. I’m not sure what to say about the story. While I’m sure these will be patched in future (And may have already), it did impact my play as I died several times as a result of the first bug. During my playtime, I’ve had the screen turn a solid pink as a certain enemy fell off a cliff and the world to go black upon revival in a specific location. Unfortunately, the game still has some bugs. I imagine there will be a great sense of pride for those who love to fully complete a game, and this is definitely one of those titles. The over-world is absolutely littered with things to find and discover. What I love is the simple ability to warp from any location to one of these zones if you’ve found the warp pad. In the middle of that is the central town where you purchase upgrades and view your progress. The east is an aquatic zone and the south is a desert. To the north is a snowy mountain, to the west a forest. Each one is a drastic shift in colour that makes for a varied experience. The over-world and subterranean dungeons are excellently designed and look amazing. The music helps to establish the setting and sits in the background rather than be a bombastic addition. While I personally found some tracks were a little whiny and not my cup of tea, they were mostly offset with tracks that I loved. Hyper Light Drifter features a soft synthetic soundtrack that helps to perfectly set the mood and tone. While earlier levels aren’t boring by any means, mini-bosses would have been nice to see. They helped to break up the monotony of the level and add an extra flair of challenge. The final zone features mini-bosses and that’s something I wish the earlier levels included too. Bosses may seem intimidating at first, but after you learn their attack patterns you can make short work of them. Hyper Light Drifter manages to find that perfect sweet spot of challenging but not overwhelming. Keep an eye out for small ledges that you can dash to they often hold little secret items and health vials, making exploration extremely rewarding. Health drops are often scarce and require the player to explore to find them hidden behind something or in a room off to the side. I’ve lost count of the many times I’ve thought a particular room was too hard to beat, but by rethinking my strategy and using everything at my disposal, I pulled through. Everything is balanced right in the middle. This design decision allowed the team to create and balance a wonderful game that never makes you question whether or not you have enough health for an area or cause a zone to feel too easy because you have so much. While you can maximize the number of health vials you can store, you are unable to increase the size of your health bar. Oddly enough but most importantly, health isn’t upgradable.
