After a hard launch, Hyper Light Breaker dev says negative reviews were key because "you can’t pay for QA of that caliber! That all comes from true giving a damn"

Hyper Light Breaker has had a rough launch into early access, but the devs are turning it around week by week with patches and a new roadmap outlining changes to come.

The developers still found all the negative reviews valuable, though. "Day One was incredibly eventful, with joyous highs (hanging out in the #1 slot on Steam Top Sales for a bit), and some disappointments right out the gate (the initial batch of negative reviews)," Yiyi Zhang community and PR Manager at developer Heart Machine tells GamesRadar+.

Although players were initially frustrated with the difficulty and performance issues, the Steam reviews are now up to 67% positive at the time of writing. "Was it a rough launch?

In some ways, yes," Zhang admits. "Some of our negative reviews were also the most useful and impactful ones - enabling us to identify QOL [quality of life], accessibility, and performance improvements early on.

Some of our fiercest criticisms were entire essay-length breakdowns of ways we can improve onboarding, mechanics, storytelling, and the overall game experience - you can't pay for QA of that caliber!
