A drifter's life is a drifter's wife



<span class="bold">Hyper Light Drifter</span>, an immersive action/RPG where you explore the dark echoes of ruined civilizations, is now available, for Windows, Mac, and Linux, DRM-free on GOG.com with a 10% launch discount.

You are withering away. An affliction grips you, poisons your thoughts, and guides your energy sword to plunge further into the swirling darkness of ages past. Travelling through the remnants of the lands of Buried Time has always been your calling, but now it has become a desperate quest for self-preservation.

Collecting pieces of ancient technology, unearthing buried knowledge, and exploring treacherous ruins is the Hyper Light Drifter's way of life. Along with your trusted drone companion, Sprite, you will delve into dense forests, floating structures, and abandoned but not uninhabited dungeons seeking forgotten treasures and well-guarded secrets that might hold the cure to your terrible disease. Vicious, fast-paced battles await you. Your customizable arsenal of weapons and defensive systems, as well as your fluid maneuvers will prove critical when faced with the hulking bosses and the brutal terrain. Don't let the haunting music and the evocative pixel-art fool you: the shoes of a Drifter are steeped in blood and secrets that should be left undisturbed.



Rummage through the alluring yet deadly relics of broken worlds as a <span class="bold">Hyper Light Drifter</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com. The 10% launch discount will last until April 7 00:59 AM PDT / 4:59 AM EDT / 9:59 BST.

ix_rv: Hello. Having bought the game by pre-order, in the game's page on my library it prevents me from installing it by stating it's "not compatible". I'm running Windows 10 in a laptop with specifications above the requirements, namely, intel core i7-4870hq, nvidia geforce gtx 980m, 32 gb ram and 337 gb hd space. What might be the reason for this?

Touwa: If you have an integrated graphic card along with that geforce it might be the problem.
Ah! That might be the problem, I guess. Though I have other games installed via gog galaxy and they never gave me this issue before. Is there a workaround of some sort to bypass it?

I wonder, does the standalone installer work?
Only 700 MBs! :O I can play right away!

omega64: Yes, more pixel art.
The ridiculously gorgeous kind. Live and let live folks. No need to shit on something just because it isn't up your alley. Plenty of realistic looking games out there.

My apologies for generalizing then! Nice to see there are more of us who appreciate pixel art :)

More pixel art!
Just add it to the bingo card of posts to expect from any announcement thread, along with "more early access garbage..." and "I already own all the games in this promo so please stop selling them"

That was an excellent suggestion, indeed! And it even automatically added the game to the galaxy launcher nonetheless. Thanks, mate.

I don't need realistic looking, but still pixel art is something I don't like. In old games they had to use it because the technology didn't allowed them to using more high-res images, but now I rather have something a bit more detailed than pixel art... There are plenty of old games with pixel graphics if I feel nostalgic. Just my 2 cents.

I analyzed the graphics closely with my magnifying glass... and the vectors are actually made of pixels! They are just pretending to be vector graphics!

I'd rather have pixel art than art that tries to be realistic. Indie's usually don't have the cash to do so succesfully.

But it doesn't has to be realistic. Just a bit higher resolution art. For example how Trine is drawn...
