Using the dash is just as important as using your sword and is your main means of defense, as well as being able to traverse through some traps and hazards. You can attack three times before briefly pausing and basically you just want to make sure that after your three strikes were up, the enemy was dead or you had dashed away from a counter-strike. The combat may look simple on the surface, but there is certainly skill involved. These upgrades and abilities are necessary in order to progress and will make things easier for you. While exploring the world, there are four yellow pieces you can find and once you collect four together that will grant you the ability to purchase upgrades back at the main town. Environmental storytelling is handled very well with the land looking like its been through years of turmoil and many interesting tidbits are hidden for you to uncover. All you need to know is that your character, the Wanderer, has some type of serious disease that you will experience while playing through your adventure.
There are a few NPC’s that will give you some of their backstories and information regarding the area you’re currently in. While the memories are usually clear, there’s definitely some room for interpretation when it comes to some of the meanings. The story is expertly conveyed only using pictures with no words or voices telling you exactly what happened to this mysterious world.
Sometimes we can let over-hyper cloud our judgements and I was beginning to think Hyper Light Drifter would do just that, but after playing through to completion those worries never came to fruition.
Knowing it was coming to the Nintendo Switch with Special Edition was enough to make me wait a little bit longer to experience it in all its glory.Įvery gameplay element, graphical detail, and somber musical note made this one of my most anticipated titles, and fortunately, it did not disappoint.
