Hyper Light Breaker

Breaker takes place from a third-person perspective, and the player can mix melee and ranged weapons together. Each "Breaker" can choose a class and abilities that affect gameplay. To traverse the world, Breakers can use hoverboards, gliders and climb walls. Like in other roguelikes, when the player dies, a new world is randomly generated.

The game supports multiplayer, with up to three players able to join a world together. To win, the player needs to take down a series of regional bosses in order to fight the Abyss King. Between runs, the player can explore a hub city.

Originally each biome was intended to be a separate level, but due to the amount of work required to expand each, all were consolidated into a single world. Many of the game's systems are built upon those created for the studio's previous title Solar Ash.

Gearbox Publishing San Francisco was originally listed as the publisher prior to its rebrand as Arc Games following Gearbox Software's sale to Take-Two Interactive.
