How to Get Hyper Light Drifter for Free?
The good news is that the new game from Heart Machine, Hyper Light Breaker, is not only set in the same universe as Hyper Light Drifter, but it’s also launching imminently into Early Access on January 14th, 2025.
However, the really good news is that you can get Hyper Light Drifter for free with the new Hyper Light bundle that has just been announced. Since Hyper Light Breaker is launching into early this is a Steam exclusive deal. The deal is for the first two weeks, which range January 14th to 28th, you will be able to get both for 29.99 USD. However, during the launch week, the deal is even better, as it will be an additional 10 percent off from January 14th until January 21st.
At the time of writing this, Hyper Light Drifter is around 15-20 bucks on Steam, depending on your region, which is a great deal for one of the best indie games of the past decade and one of my top games of all time.
Quick Recap:
Hyper Light Breaker is an open world rogue-lite that takes place in the same universe as Hyper Light Drifter, but decades earlier. Hyper Light Breaker is playable in solo or co-op with up to three players. You play as a Breaker, a member of an elite organization, who must restore civilization after an apocalyptic war. In this adventure you use a combination of fast paced hack and slash combat, ranged weaponry and gadgets.
If you have played any rogue-lite before, the premise is similar: Explore, Destroy, Loot and Repeat. In between each run, you will be able to upgrade your Breaker through skill tree stats, accessing new abilities and gear.
The overgrowth features huge open biomes, deep labyrinths and will be constantly changing thanks to a blend of procedural generation and hand crafted worlds. You will never see the same world twice. Every time will feature unique layouts, enemies and loot, which makes returning again and again a pleasure.
It’s important to note the game is just beginning its early access journey and will also be the first Early Access title for Heart Machine.
