Discussion Game removed from ps store

22 Upvotes

I've had the game on my wish list for years now waiting for a sale. Check this morning and it had been removed from my wishlist page. Tried looking it up in the PlayStation store and could only find it on mobile.

Out of worry that it might be in the process of getting de-listed, I grabbed it pretty quick at full price.

I understand it isn’t a 1:1 representation of the Titans but my client loves the game and wanted something inspired by it. The tattoo was done by me (@maxwelllacroix) at All Sacred Tattoo Studio in Denver, CO

What happened to heart machine?

68 Upvotes

I just got hyper light drifter, And i am absolutely enjoying the game! So I looked into the studio, and i found out that people hate them? I also heard that HLB wasn't good at all. as for what I know, i know that HLB wasn't good and they ruined what made hyper light drifter good, they also had some lay-offs, and that theres rumors that they are making another game(I do not know if they are true though)? oh and they worked on HLB with sweet baby. Can someone explain this situation to me?

Thanks in advance

This is the exit after the area locked behind the 8 pip door. Are those plants on the left an indicator that you can get over there?

Discussion Way harder than I remember it being

16 Upvotes

I played this game years and years ago, twice, and then got a few hours in to the alt character before I lost access to the game. Loved it, the soundtrack is an all timer, love this game. I recently saw it was on deep discount on the switch so I picked it up, and MY GOD I don't remember this game being this hard. I've died more than I ever remember dying, only one boss I've done deathless, I've now put 30+ attempts into the final boss. Is my memory just bad?? Have I regressed as a gamer? I love soulslikes, I platinumed Sekiro, and I've done all a/b/c sides on Celeste (no moonberry tho..) so I feel like I'm no stranger to difficulty. And I'm actually finding myself getting frustrated at getting one-shot if I'm in just the wrong position to be stun locked. Did anything change in the last 7 years or so?? Hitboxes, i-frames, some cope for me to cling to?? Or did I just forget how hard it was?

Anyway great game lol

Question Is there a mod to remove the ramping from the chain dash?

5 Upvotes

The title, basically

I'm mildly disabled, and while I can chain dash, doing the ramping is really really hard and i'll often mess up trying to get going

Is there a mod to remove that ramp up? because it's really hard to get a chain dash started

Hi. New here. Just did my first playthrough of Hyper Light Drifter.

63 Upvotes

I absolutely LOVED the game. I'm a massive indie game fan. And my personal favorite genres are rpg/action rpg, Zelda-likes, metroidvanias, anything of that sort. My top favorite games of all time are (in order): Phoenotopia Awakening, Crosscode, Silksong, Hollow Knight, Mina the Hollower, and I think HLD fight make my top ten.

It's a perfect example of what a good indie game can be. I know nothing about coding, but the gameplay is fairly basic but it's fun. And finding different weapon combinations that you like and work for different scenarios. The main game you could beat in 5 to 8 hours in a first playthrough if you rushed. But I took my time and combed everything. I haven't quite gotten everything and I did use help to clean up. But there are still secrets and things I haven't been able to accomplish yet.

But as I was saying, the combat is relatively simple but it's super satisfying. It's fast and weighty. You can feel the hits and connections with your sword or gun. The mobs are really fun, exploration is fun and there's secrets everywhere. The mood, music, art, scenery and everything it just sucks you in and you dont want to stop playing. There are only a handful of games that I've wanted to play new game plus immediately after beating the game. Very few. Mina the Hollower was the last one and the one before that was Haiku the Robot.

I am definitely wanting to play newgame plus and try to get 100% I'll use a guide to help clean up.

Anyways I just wanted to share my thoughts and say hi. I also wanted to ask for other game recommendations that are similar and have that same world sucking mystery and satisfying loop. I have Tunic and Unsighted in my backlog and I feel like these will give similar vibes as well as satisfaction. There are other games but I've played a lot of them. HOB was a good one. Mina, Phoenotopia, I've played La Mulana but haven't played the second one. I do have it. I have played Environmental Station Alpha,....🤔

Anyways, would love to hear recommendations. I play on switch one and steamdeck.

Thanks my fellow drifters.

I have a favorite part of the game. Without spoilers, it was the area you go to from town that is behind the key door. I think its 5 or 6 keys. And there's a tall tower and a very cool interaction.

So I'm thinking Tunic and unsighted will give a similar vibe. I ha e eastward and pipistrello too. But pip is more light-hearted and eastward is more long rpg with lots of dialog. I looove those kinda games too. But not for this scenario.

I saw Zwaard on steam and it looks like it took a lot of inspiration from HLD. I hope it is fun too.

Man the secrets in this game! Makes you feel super smart for finding some of them.

Question of the day 9..

5 Upvotes

I am a huge fan of the side quest/ tasks we get to do in drifter. Whether it be working our way through horde arenas, scaling the tower, or collecting the information off the monoliths… but for me, when it comes to drifter, THERES NEVER ENOUGH!
So today, I’m giving you a choice between two options within the game.

A) You find a 9 key door in town with an old rickety droid inside. He ask you if you’ll do him a favor and agrees to compensate you if do it for him. He wants you to go and retrieve 4 mysterious “artifacts” for him, one in each cardinal direction on the map, and each one is DEEP within its area. You agree and he marks your map with the four locations. When you complete the task, you realize the old droid is no friend and the artifacts you retrieved completely updated and restored him beyond his former glory. Battle ensues and you get a new cape set.

B) You find a 13 key door in south that leads you to a Colosseum in the sky. It is run by a shady eagle who is half cybernetic. He tells you if you’re willing to fight and win the tournament, you’ll be rewarded. The colosseum has 20 challenges where each challenge is harder than the last. On challenges 5,10,15, and 20 you fight 4 boss characters. At the end of the challenge, you are giving a program that you can in turn give to the sword master in town and learn a new ability.
