Echoes of a dark and violent past resonate throughout a savage land, steeped in treasure and blood. Hyper Light Drifter is an action adventure RPG in the vein of the best 16­-bit classics, with modernized mechanics and designs on a much grander scale. The player controls the Drifter, a character that has access to technology that has long been forgotten by the inhabitants of the game's world, but is forced to search through the ruins of civilization to find the cure for a mysterious illness.
