Let's Play Hyper Light Drifter - Part 1 - Heart Ache
10Man, Indie Games are just freakin' awesome. We've had so many gems come out within the last year or two (Celeste, Hollow Knight, Cuphead, just to name a few) and this pink gem is absolutely no exception! Hyper Light Drifter released in the distant year of 2016 and ended up being my Game of the Year pretty handily! Fast-forward to present day and we've just gotten our hands on an updated Switch release, featuring more guns, more areas, and more pixelated violence! How could I say no!
HLD is a fast paced action-exploration game, with a heavy inspiration from older-school Zelda. That's not to say the game is just your typical clone though. This game features some brutally satisfying combat, gorgeous art direction, and an ear pounding soundtrack from Diasterpiece. It's also just really really fun...y'know...kind of the most important thing to look our for when you're playing a game!
But let's stop beating around the bush though. Draw your sword, load your gun, and don that cape! Let's drift! *screeching car noises* NO, not that kind of drifting!

In this part we find ourselves in a decaying world. Wars have been fought, plagues have swept the land, and danger lies around every corner, save for a quaint little town in the center of it all. Cut to us, the Drifter. Cause somebody has gotta clean up this mess, or at least die trying!
I'd love to go into further detail but this game definitely has a "up to your own interpretation" vibe going...what with there not being a single textbox in the whole game! Talk about the silent treatment!
Enjoy the video ;D
