Hyper Light Drifter tends to throw you in a room full of enemies with varying attacks which will test your skill and patience. The enemies in this game are not like your typical game where you can just spam the attack button to defeat them – you need to remember their attack patterns and/or utilize your skill to avoid taking damage. Sadly, the respawn animation takes a long time to finish, even after using a certain button to speed it up. Checkpoints are abundant and the game will automatically load you from the previous checkpoint when you die. Luckily, the game seems to be forgiving enough to let you die as many times as you want. To be honest, these restrictions seem unnecessary and just add more annoyances to the game. Dashing also doesn’t seem to make you invisible since you can still get attacked if you happen to cross an enemy’s attack while moving. Sometimes you won’t be able to dash in-between attacks, even after you repeatedly press the button. Some challenge rooms exist to annoy you with your poor chain dashing skill.Īlthough dash mechanic is usually used to cancel current attack animation in most games, it doesn’t seem to be the case in this game. Moreover, the dev seems to love this annoying mechanic by introducing “challenge rooms” where you have to chain dash several times to reach a certain spot.

This can be problematic since you need to get the right timing to pass through a room full of spikes or avoid a boss attack. However, chain dashing, which is available from the shop, can only be activated by pressing the dash button at a certain interval. It is very versatile, as you can use it to move faster or dodge an enemy attack. You need to keep track of a lot of things in battle and remembering more complicated skills will just decrease your response time – I ended up remembering one or two skills as I played the game and let the rest of the skills triggered by luck, especially since some skills require you to press the same buttons in a different order.ĭashing is also one of the core skills in this game. However, I found that most extra skills are useless due to their number and the difficulty to execute.

SkillsĪlthough you can finish the game without buying anything, additional skills can be purchased from shops to improve your arsenal. It was fun finding these hidden areas, especially when you know that you’ll be rewarded with some collectibles when you find one. A follow-up may be needed to uncover these areas, either by holding the E button or shooting a projectile at the object far from it. Hidden paths are usually hinted at from the square-like symbol carved on the floor. Despite the game having no words in it, I immediately understand where I had to go and the game is giving enough freedom for you to explore three out of four areas in any order that you want.Įxploration is also encouraged by adding a lot of hidden areas in the game. There is a tutorial at the start of the game which covers basic mechanics, which is not different from other games in the same genre. The gameplay is simple to understand, yet hard to master. However, if you are up for theory making, you’ll be able to piece the story together from the given hints. I could only understand what happened from the given images which never mean much in the first place. The use of pictures to explain the story might look cool at first glance, but all I could see is confusion. Cutscenes are also cleanly animated and flow very smoothly – I was impressed with how great the quality is. Backgrounds are fully detailed with breathtaking scenery, often with the use of lighting to give more impact to the scenery.
