1) What is Hyper Light Drifter?



Hyper Light Drifter is a 2D Action RPG in the vein of the best 8-bit and 16-bit classics, with modernized mechanics and designs on a much grander scale.



2) What is the story?



Drifters of this world are the collectors of forgotten knowledge, lost technologies and broken histories. Our Drifter is haunted by an insatiable illness, traveling further into the lands of Buried Time, steeped in blood and treasure hoping to discover a way to quiet the vicious disease. Echoes of a dark and violent past from the dead eras resonate throughout and he can't help but listen.



3) What is the combat like?



The combat experience is critical to this game. We gave some glimmers of it in the trailer, but want to do a feature soon to show everyone how it plays out for more than a few seconds; sword play, shielding, deflections, gun play, grenades!



4) Do you have a Facebook page?



Yes we do.



5) What about Twitter?



Yep!



6) How about a webpage?



Got that too!



7) I want to support your game, but do not have an Amazon account. Is there another way I can pay?



Yes! We have Humble Bundle PayPal widgets on our website!



8) Why are the PayPal widget rewards different?



They are the non-beta standard editions as the beta is a Kickstarter exclusive.



9) Will the PayPal continue after the Kickstarter?



Yes! We will keep the PayPal going until a point where we see fit to end it.



10) The tier rewards are kind of confusing. Can you help me out?



Absolutely! Unfortunately, once a tier starts to have backers, it can’t be edited. Instead, we we created a graphic to supplement the details of each tier a little better. You can find it at the bottom of the main HLD Kickstarter page or this link:



11) What platforms will this be on?



Currently Hyper Light Drifter is planned for Windows, Linux, Mac OSX, Steam, PS4, Vita, Ouya and Wii U.



12) Will this have native controller support on PC?



Yes indeed! The game is designed with a controller in mind, though is playable without.



13) How will picking a version work?



We'll send a survey out after the Kickstarter and you can tell us exactly what platform(s) you want keys for, depending on your tier.



14) Will the levels be linear, hub based, open for exploration?



The world is designed to be open for exploration with entry into enclosed Temples and Dungeons. There will be a central hub to return to.



15) Will there be puzzles or will the game be mostly combat focused?



The game will have some puzzle elements throughout.



16) Is this on Steam Greenlight?



Yes! And has been officially Greenlit as of Oct 2nd!



17) Will the campaign coop be online and/or couch coop?



For right now just local/couch co-op.



18) Will backers that want PS4/Vita be receiving actual keys for that system?



Yes, this is what we've been able to determine from what Sony has said.



19) Will the console ports be receiving the KS exclusive side quest?



Yes! And is now included in all versions to keep things simple and for everyone to enjoy!



20) Will the game be coming to EU PSN?



Working towards an EU release, though it may be later down the line. It would have translations.



21) Is an iOS/Android port possible?



Possibly, but this would be another down the line item to approach as touch is fairly different than the controller-centric play.



22) Will all versions of the game have multiplayer (Vita)?



Yes. Vita will have local AdHoc.



23) Will there be add-ons for items I can’t get in my tier?
