#HYPER LIGHT DRIFTER REVIEW REDDIT PLUS#

You can get by every boss fight perfectly fine without it. Unlike most I would say chain-dash is honestly not that important. Sword deflect is really useful for some fights in the south which you'll be doing last so you should have enough bits accumulated by then to have those three. Also take note that the way the dash shield works is like a sword deflect, you need to use it right before the projectile hits you. this is the activation demarcation!Дash-shield and Charge attack in that order are really important, everything else is up to you really. you'll see a very faint diamond form around the drifter as projectiles near you.

every other drifter set except for the blue/gold set you get for finding all the monoliths seem to have really negligible effects, if any at all? the navy blue/grey set sword and the purple/red/black set sword look dope with that loadout, though.ДЄs a side note, there seems to be some confusion as to how the shield dash works vis-a-vis its activation range. i like to use the fuchsia sword for that increased weapon recharge for optimal gun canceling. the white cloak is just nice for increased interaction speed, and the purple buddy doubles your stamina, which makes getting around much nicer. i personally love to deflect shots as soon as they're fired to hit whatever's shooting at me with one concise whup-pahhhhДЄlso, i run white cloak, purple buddy and whatever colour sword you want to use.

the lunge (also sold in the dash arena) to cancel your momentum so you don't slide everywhereД®verything else after that is basically personal affect.

chain dashing for increased mobility, plus the ability to complete various challenges that require it.It explains my Interpritation of everything. This game makes the story of DS1 look like a picture bookДude Read this. But WHO am I? Why am I sick? What does my sickness have to do with that creepy black monster that shows up every so often? Why is it that the creepy black monster kills me every time I get a few of those triangle module thingies? Why do I not stay dead? Is it a dream sequence? Why does my character have the exact same vision four times throughout the game? What does it mean? Is the town going to blow up if I don't stop the creepy black monster? Who's growing all the bad guys in the test tubes? What was with the trippy intro where you appear next to piles of corpses? Why'd the corpses disappear? What's with the jackal with the glowing head? Is it some kind of spirit guide? Is it the other drifter's pet? Are all the other drifter's sick? Did I die at the end of the game or did I live? What even was the glowing white diamond thing that I've been trying to get at this whole time? Were the four bosses in league with the creepy black monster? How did the apocalypse happen? Who built the giant skeleton robot things and why did they all die? Seriously, what did I just play? What is going on?! Are any of these questions answered by unlocking some of the secret doors throughout the game? The story is terribly told and explained. So, who is my character exactly? I know he/she? is a drifter, someone who finds lost technology from an older civilization. That said, the game has left me with more questions than answers.
