Overview
Description

Delver puts you in the shoes of a lone adventurer diving into dark, randomly generated dungeons. Fight monsters, collect loot, and chase the mysterious Yithidian Orb while the pixel‑art world swarms with danger. Each run offers fresh layouts, enemies, and treasure, making every descent a new challenge. The game blends fast first‑person combat with classic hack‑and‑slash action for a tight, replayable experience.

In Hyper Light Drifter you guide the enigmatic Drifter through a beautifully pixelated world, battling fierce enemies and uncovering the remnants of a lost civilization. The game blends classic 16‑bit aesthetics with modern mechanics, delivering fast‑paced combat and deep exploration. The journey is driven by a mysterious illness that forces the Drifter to seek forgotten technology across a savage land filled with treasure, blood, and echoes of a dark past. Play solo or team up in co‑op to experience a richly atmospheric adventure that rewards skill and curiosity.
