droidgamers.com:

The indie game, Hyper Light Drifter, is making a grand return. It’s landing on Android as Hyper Light Drifter Special Edition. The 2D action-adventure RPG by Heart Machine, which wowed players on iOS back in 2019, is now available on Google Play.

In Hyper Light Drifter Special Edition, you step into the boots of a Drifter. A tech-savvy adventurer, you explore a vibrant yet dangerous world filled with lost technologies and hidden knowledge. Oh, and your character is also battling a mysterious illness. This adds a personal quest for survival and a cure to the mix of epic exploration and combat.

Steeped in treasure and blood, echoes of a dark past resonate throughout the savage land of Hyper Light Drifter. It’s an epic journey filled with danger, discovery and the kind of storytelling that sticks with you for a long time.

Hyper Light Drifter’s gameplay is challenging yet rewarding. Your weapons, including an energy sword that charges with successful hits, demand accuracy and strategy. The 16-bit graphics is also something worth mentioning. The sceneries are amazing as you find yourself trekking through golden sandy deserts, hot-pink forests and crystalline mountains, bursting with colour.

In the Special Edition of Hyper Light Drifter, you get up to 60 fps, a brand-new Tower Climb mode and the introduction of the Crystal Shot and Blade Caster Sword. Also, there’s a new outfit to unlock, Google Play Achievements to collect and gamepad compatibility for those who prefer buttons over touch controls.
