Particular attention is given to the combat system: fights demand quick reflexes and precise actions from the player. The Drifter wields a light sword and ranged weapons, making combat dynamic.

Each location is meticulously handcrafted and filled with both enemies and hidden bonuses, making exploration exciting. Hyper Light Drifter's graphics feature a retro style while remaining modern through detailed animations and rich colors. The pixel-art design of the environments and characters emphasizes the mysterious world's atmosphere. The soundtrack, composed by Disasterpeace, enhances the melancholic mood of the game.
