Hyper Light Drifter is a computer game of activity created by the Heart Machine study. With reminiscent graphics to the era of 8-bits and 16-bits gaming consoles, its leading developer, ALX Preston, considers it a combination between The Tale of Zelda: A Web Link To The Past in addition to Adversary.

2016 published Heart Machines her debut game Hyper Light Drifter. The trade press rated it mostly positive, mainly because of its steep but fair learning curve, mysterious world and the picture-perfect pixel art style. Is now Solar Ash finally on the spiritual successor. The awaits you in space adventures in Ironclad.

That's the point in solar Ash

A gigantic black hole swallows up everything his path crosses. Now the so-called Ultra Void also threatens the destruction of the home of our heroine REI. The Void Runner called decides to explore the black hole — in the hope to find in it something that can still avert disaster. But instead concentrated, space-time distorting matter (as in real black holes) expect there REI surreal worlds with floating mountains, skyscraper ruins, fungus-covered cathedrals and godlike creatures.

Here you can watch as REI flits through the Ultra Void:

This makes solar Ash particularly

The focus of solar Ash the sense of movement is. REI is an agile heroine. We glide with her, almost like on skates, on the bottom of the Ultra Void. Chasms that they would slow down, we bridge nimble thanks to its gripping hook. Walls with black mucus can, however, climb REI. We build additional pace through skating on over clouds floors. So our heroine puts even greater distances in seconds.

Whether in the horizontal or vertical: With practice should we flit through the ultra Void without pause. At least if we internalize the combat system of solar Ash. Because rice flow of movement are not only the canyons of Ultra Void in the way, but also their aggressive fauna.

However, demanding confrontations in Hyper Light Drifter, we need not fear. There the death Soul Like-like speeds strikes. For solar Ash Heart Machine has the combat system designed to be easy, fast and fluid held. A few simple keystrokes meet and REI gets rid of elegant monsters. So the fighting decelerate moving through the game world as little as possible and give us the same time a sense of ease.

But progresses, playing time grow the opponents and require precise timing of us. So quite sit back, we can not use. Until then, we should the movements of REI but so well mastered that we can focus on our opponents more to us anyway.

Wen For yourself solar Ash is?

Wen Hyper Light Drifter has tied, is solar Ash have probably already put on the wishlist months ago. If not out of anticipation, then at least out of curiosity whether Heart Machine play the mechanical level can keep their debuts. But You have Hyper Light Drifter did not play to enjoy solar Ash. Mainly the neon color palette and Heart Machines eye for worlds design combines both games.

Instead, all you need is a heart for fast-paced games. Alternatively solar Ash should also be the right choice, in case you've always cachet: The Tony Hawk games are cool, but they simply lack black holes.

Gamer Assessment

Erik grains @snoopykoira

Even for me was Hyper Light Drifter one of the games of the year 2016. According noisy I was, as it was called, Heart Machine would publish after five years a new game.

Worry not give me the many changes in solar Ash compared to its predecessor. I welcome even Machines not to repeat familiar Heart courage and instead an entirely new experience to offer want. Mainly because I think the feeling of movement for one of the most important elements of games and Solar Ash is primarily revolved around the flow of sliding. Bonus points from me because the first known bosses to Shadow of The Colossus remember, one of my favorite games. Keep yourself safe side ever two or three afternoons in December for solar Ash free.
