Hyper Light Drifter is the textbook definition of an indie darling. Propelled by an incredibly successful Kickstarter, Heart Machine's debut became an instant classic. The team followed Drifter up with Solar Ash, which cast off pixel art in favour of a 3D world. Then, earlier this year, came Hyper Light Breaker. The extraction roguelike had a divisive launch, but with its latest update Heart Machine puts the game on an entirely new path. With plenty of changes shaking it up, I sat down with one of the game's developers for an exclusive PCGamesN interview to dissect where Breaker has been, where it is now, and what the future holds.
