What a huge disappointment after the masterpiece that was Hyper Light Drifter.
I'm genuinely sad about this one.
Sad turn of events. I had this on my wishlist and was waiting for a full release but its clear that it bombed and they couldn't handle the costs
Hmm, I wish organizations had public postmortems on failed projects. I’d like to know the story there.
Here's a summary of the game studio. Sad to know they are struggling but it is what it is.
Sad to hear that company is not doing that great. Hyper Light Drifter is one of my favorite games. I never tried Hyper Light Breaker because of the mixed review and my having less time than usual to play games.
I liked it 😟
Unfortunate for the people laid off, but this game sucks and this developer has been a dick since day 1.
HLD still doesn't have cloud save support BTW.
