I was talking to @themcnoisy about this last night, I've been keeping an eye on it for a couple of years now and really can't wait for a release date - hopefully this year. Love the aesthetic/sound track and it looks like they've spent a lot of time balancing the gameplay and creating a great world.
"In Hyper Light Drifter you'll travel a ruined land with a twisted past, delving deep to collect lost technologies and unveil secrets long buried. Hyper Light is comprised of various elements: combat that's lightning quick, brutal, never unfair and always satisfying; a highly stylized, lush and varied world to explore with an intense atmosphere; a strong narrative and character interactions expressed through visual design"
Looks brilliant, never even heard of it until last night. Gonna buy axiom verge on Monday after the raid tonight and work through that. As a big fan of fez and rogue legacy hyper light drifter could be on my small must buy list of mgs, ff15, axiom verge and sf5.

I had totally forgotten about this, but I'm pretty sure I remember seeing the Kickstarter when it was first up. Glad things seem to be going well, as it looks like it could be pretty great!

Yeah development seems to be going well..they've had some public testing but people are just pining for a release date now. It was supposed to be late 2014. The soundtrack is by Disasterpeace, who did Fez's too, so you know theirs gunna be some awesomely atmospheric synth going on.

@kyleforrester87: AWESOME. I was checking up on this a couple weeks ago and disappointed to see the lack of meaningful news, so it's great to see a launch window be set!

According to their kickstarter update they will be trying to get it out on PC first with consoles to follow. Hopefully it'll make it for next Summer, then.
@kyleforrester87: shame it's still got such a long way to go, but at least it's looking like it'll be worth the wait. I gather that one of the main guys behind the game has had a pretty rough time with health issues though, so I guess it was to be expected that there might be some delays along the way :/
Still, new trailer looks the business though. Loving the Zelda / Transistor crossover vibe of this game, and I'm confident it's going to deliver.

@Kidfried: Maybe it's just the top down view with a sword! I do believe there are zones (6 I think?) that you can approach in whatever order you want with a hub
@Rukiafan7: I've just had a look at their Kickstarter page - I don't see any mention of a PS3 version. They do talk about a PS Vita version, which will probably take a while to materialise.
It's pretty difficult so far, but in a good way. Same level of difficulty as Xeodrifter I think; pretty hard, but doable. Art style and music are good as well; I believe it was the same guy who did the music for Fez. It sounds similar at least!
@Octane: Nice, I've only got to play the first 20 minutes so far through the tutorial section so havn't experienced the difficulty. As I mentioned before, I do want a challenge, but I hope it's not crushingly difficult!
Absolutely love the general look and feel of the game so far, though. Can't wait to get stuck in tonight.
