In the competitive arena of early access roguelikes, Hades 2 and Windblown have been my champions this year, but only because Hyper Light Breaker struck me as a game I'd enjoy a lot more after a few patches. Now, developer Heart Machine may have cooked up just the patch to get me properly stuck in: a game-changing pass to resources and difficulty said to make the open-world roguelike "easier to get into, but harder to master."
The "Buried Below" update, Hyper Light Breaker's first major content update, is due April 29, Heart Machine announced today. It folds in months of player feedback to smooth down a few pain points and expand some of the game's best ideas.
