Hyper Light Drifter releases its console launch trailer

Heart Machine's amazing Action RPG, Hyper Light Drifter lands on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One this week, and to celebrate, the developers have released the game's Console Launch Trailer to get you hyped for it. If you've seen or heard of Hyper Light Drifter by now, you know the deal.

You play as a silent protagonist, sick with some unknown disease as you explore and battle your way through a brutally beautiful world filled with wonder and danger. The game's story is told through interpretive images and animations and contains no spoken words at all. The gameplay is from a top-down perspective, as the character primarily uses his sword for melee combat and a gun for long range. Players must strategize how and when to use their gun to attack from a distance, as the only way to gain additional shots, is to land hits with your sword, which can put you in great danger.

Hyper Light Drifter originally released as a PC exclusive back on March 31st, 2016 to the tune of an overall Metascore of 84. A PlayStation Vita version of the game is due sometime in the future as well, but there is no release date currently set for it.
