Those who keep a keen eye on these giveaways would realize that Hyper Light Drifter is a repeat, just like Celeste was two days ago. It was given away in August as a bonus game with Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden.
A 2D action RPG, Hyper Light Drifter features an art style inspired by the 90s’ 16-bit titles. Originating as a Kickstarter project that garnered over $600,000, the game saw a release in 2016, received with praise for its visuals, sound design, as well as gameplay mechanics. Here’s how the Epic Games Store describes the title:
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.
