Steam has Hyper Light Drifter (PC Digital Download) on sale for $5.99.

Thanks to Deal Hunter doublehelixx for finding this deal.

Note: A Steam account is required to activate/purchase and play (free to join).

About this Game:
  • Echoes of a dark and violent past resonate throughout a savage land, steeped in treasure and blood. Hyper Light Drifter is an action adventure RPG in the vein of the best 16 bit classics, with modernized mechanics and designs on a much grander scale.
  • 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, hoping to discover a way to quiet the vicious disease.
  • From each character to subtle background elements, everything is lovingly hand-animated.
  • Easy to pick up, difficult to master; enemies are vicious and numerous, hazards will easily crush your frail body, and friendly faces remain rare.
  • Upgrade weapons, learn new skills, discover equipment and traverse a dark, detailed world with branching paths and secrets abound.

I know and it's a pretty lame thing to do and makes me want to engage less now that I know Slickdeals employs bots to drive engagement. I literally wrote a comment to a non existing, non caring person..anyway you cut it, it does drive engagement, but I helped no one make a decision.
They ask it on many deals they post. My guess is it's to drive engagement, like how when someone posts a meme with a deliberate misspelling so everyone will go in and point out the misspelled wrod.

Very fun game on the switch, I haven't played on PC. I think I got it on sale for $3 for the switch and it was definitely worth that.

I thought it was amazing.
I've lost hope though that the creators will ever make a real sequel.

Can't believe it's been nearly 10 years since this came out. Maybe I'll revisit it to see if my reaction speed is still there.
