Developer Heart Machine’s highly anticipated co-operative rogue-lite game, Hyper Light Breaker, is finally on track for a Steam early access launch this summer. This comes after multiple delays, as the studio focused on perfecting the game and bringing it to its full potential. Hyper Light Breaker is the spin-off of Heart Machine’s critically acclaimed 2016 action-adventure game, Hyper Light Drifter.
A New Adventure in the Overgrowth
Hyper Light Breaker takes players on an entirely different journey compared to its predecessor. While Hyper Light Drifter was a 2D, top-down single-player adventure with exploration and melee combat, Hyper Light Breaker transforms the experience into a fully 3D rogue-lite adventure. Players can choose to embark on this thrilling adventure alone or team up with friends online for co-operative play.
In Hyper Light Breaker, players are tasked with defeating hordes of enemies and gigantic bosses in frenetic third-person combat. The game features a vast and ever-changing world known as the Overgrowth. This world is made up of massive, open biomes and deep labyrinths for players to explore. They can utilize various traversal mechanics such as wall-dashing, hoverboarding, and gliding to navigate the challenging terrain.
The ultimate goal in Hyper Light Breaker is to create new builds, survive the mysterious Crowns, and overthrow the almighty Abyss King. With its intense combat and a wide range of abilities to master, players will be engrossed in the thrilling battles and the constant exploration of the Overgrowth.
