Just in case anyone else is stuck on this...

If you try running from the terminal and you get an error such as:

Running Hyper Light Drifter
./HyperLightDrifter.x86: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

You will need to create a link for your libcrypto and/or libssl to what the game wants. In my case I found these libraries in /lib (On Fedora at least, might be different on Debian/Ubuntu/Mint, but if you search for these files you will find where they are.) In my case my actual files were named *1.0.2k , and I already had links for libcrypto.so.10 and libssl.so.10 but the game wants *so.1.0.0 so we will make it.

cd /lib
sudo ln -s libssl.so.1.0.2k libssl.so.1.0.0
sudo ln -s libcrypto.so.1.0.2k libcrypto.so.1.0.0

The first is the lib file you actually have, the second is the name of the link you are making. The "-s" makes it a symbolic link.

Hopefully this is helpful if someone else has this same issue.
