Hyper Light Breaker's recent Early Access release was highly anticipated by fans of Heart Machine's breakout isometric pixel art action RPG Hyper Light Drifter. After following up from Hyper Light Drifter with Solar Ash and its unique rail-grinding movement system, the studio has shown a talent for experimenting with fresh ideas. This has continued with Hyper Light Breaker, as although it shares its world with Drifter, it's a wildly different take on the setting. Shifting from the solitary single-player adventure, Hyper Light Breaker is instead a 3D, open-world, multiplayer roguelite with multiple player characters, a procedurally generated Overgrowth to explore, and myriad weapons and upgrades to utilize.
