Sink Hours with This Zelda-Like Inspired Game

About the game

What's the game?

An injured drifter in a post-apocalyptic landscape trying to find a way to stop a disease from spreading further.

The tone is melancholic and wordless. There is no dialog in the game , it focuses on music, visuals, and the environment to tell the story.

Gameplay

What you'll actually do

Hyper Light Drifter is a Top-Down action adventure game.

You explore an interconnected world with branching paths, hidden secrets, and areas that reward curiosity. Combat is fast and precise, built around a dash mechanic. You'll fight through enemies, solve environmental puzzles, and gradually expand your arsenal with new weapons, gear, abilities, and outfits!

My take

Why I keep thinking about it

I didnt grow up much with Nintendo games and i wasnt really sure how the classic Zelda games work. However, I’ve played a game called TUNIC and i absolutely loved it and was trying to look for a game that scratches the same itch of exploring.

Audience

Who's it for?

Fans of Zelda, TUNIC, or games where it encourages you to explore every corner of the world.
