Description

A brand-new entry in the Hyper Light franchise, Hyper Light Breaker is an open world rogue-like with a unique world fully realized in 3D for the first time.

Enter the Overgrowth alone or with friends to explore open worlds, create new builds, rip through hordes and overcome the Crowns and the Abyss King.

  • Choose your Breaker and SyCom loadout for distinct builds and playstyles.

  • Battle through the Overgrowth alone or as a team in online co-operative play.

  • Face hordes of enemies and brutal bosses in frenetic third-person combat.

  • Put your Breaker’s skills to the test by increasing the difficulty of the Overgrowth – the greater the challenge, the better the rewards.

  • A world in disarray, with mysteries to solve, vicious enemies to fight, and fully 3D environments to explore.

  • A vast, ever-changing world awaits with large scale open biomes and deep labyrinths.

  • Traverse landscapes with incredible freedom with a variety of abilities; wall-dashing, hoverboard, glider and more.

  • Experience a unique playthrough in every run, with one life to spare, the Overgrowth and the worlds within reset after death – bringing a new world to explore.

  • Learn more about the Overgrowth from the fragmented memories of its mysterious defenders, the Crowns.

  • Discover and unlock a wide arsenal of weapons, items and upgrades – take on quests to unlock even more rewards to evolve your Breaker and the Overgrowth further.

  • Bring back resources back to the Settlement to unlock permanent upgrades that will persist across your playthroughs.

  • Get a better understanding of the game mechanics – from the basics to advanced combat techniques – in an in-depth tutorial.

To state my view on the current state of this before my statement below: I would say not to buy this game currently unless they began working on it again as it is very barebones and holds nothing to the amazing game
