Hyper Light Drifter is an action adventure game that feels like a direct descendant of challenging titles from the 16-bit era. It's set in a beautiful sci-fi world where only some pieces of technology remain.
After the game made a splash on Kickstarter in October 2013, the indie team at Heart Machine are putting their money where the hype is. They offered backers (and some press) a chance to play the preview build. We check it out on our new What to Play series on the Mashable Gaming YouTube channel.
