Hyper Light Drifter

A top-down action adventure in pixel art, where you fight through a ruined, colourful world with a sword and a gun. Combat is about dashing and timing, and the story is told without dialogue. You explore at your own pace and there is local co-op for two players. Is it your kind of game?
