    Hyper Light Drifter conquered all platforms it stepped foot on, emerging with overly positive comments and reviews, and high scores. It is a definite step away from the mainstream and a journey into a heart-stopping story sort to say. It is definitely worth the try and highly recommended for all gaming enthusiasts!

    It might not be perfect, but it is perfectly playable. Overall, we found our time with Hyper Light Drifter on mobile to be a positive experience. The touch controls work and don’t cause any huge issues aside from when you need to heal on iPad and the general performance is decent, even if it doesn’t quite feel as silky smooth as the promised 120 fps on iPad Pro.

    Hyper Light Drifter - Special Edition

    I'm not a great gamer, there are many games I find very difficult but this game made me keep trying. There a optional parts I haven't been able to complete but I still love this game so much.
