Just months after releasing Solar Ash, Heart Machine has revealed a sequel to the beloved pixel art action RPG Hyper Light Drifter. A departure from its predecessor, Hyper Light Breaker is a 3D third-person action game in a roguelite format, retaining the speed and colour of its forebear but replacing pixels with polygons.
Hyper Light Breaker is set in the Overgrowth, which is a “vast, ever-changing world with massive, open biomes and deep labyrinths.” This being a roguelite, that means the environments will be randomized, but there’s a hub-like ‘Settlement’ which becomes more populated throughout the game (think Hades, or Spelunky 2, or… most roguelites).
