New Playable Character: Ravona
Just a month into its early access phase, Hyper Light Breaker has rolled out an exciting new update that introduces a never-before-seen playable character: Ravona. This fresh addition is tailored for players who enjoy a fast-paced shooting experience. With her unique abilities and perks, Ravona promises to elevate the action in this stylish roguelike.
Ravona’s Unique Gameplay Mechanics
Ravona comes equipped with two types of sycoms—floating robots that assist her in combat. Players can choose between the Reaper sycom, known for its high-risk, high-reward damage capabilities, and the more agile Ranger sycom, designed specifically for those who prefer to shoot fast and shoot a lot. This gives players the flexibility to tailor their combat style according to their preferences.
Gameplay Updates and Future Prospects
Alongside the introduction of Ravona, the latest patch also brings significant changes to the core gameplay. Three new weapon affixes have been added, increasing damage to enemies affected by rot, burn, and stagger. Moreover, players will encounter new enemies, such as the Bullet Leaper and the formidable Croc Brute. These additions aim to enhance the overall gameplay experience while maintaining a balanced challenge level.
Developer Heart Machine continues to listen to player feedback, ensuring that Hyper Light Breaker evolves with the community in mind. The rebalancing of the danger meter and improvements to attack magnetism are perfect examples of their commitment to enhancing gameplay. As players embark on this journey, they can look forward to even more monthly updates and engaging features.
