Meet Hyper Light Breaker’s Last Master Miniboss With Director Alx Preston

This issue is April’s Game InformerMagazine, took us behind-the scenes at Hyper Light Breaker. It is Heart Machine’s latest title. In addition to an interview with Creative Director Alx Preston, we were able to view exclusive footage of one of the game’s mini-bosses, The Last Master. Check out the reveal below.

The Last Master is a deadly opponent that spawns randomly when players (known in this world as Breakers) activate beacons, objects that allow them to access the main boss gate. If you think she looks similar to the player characters, you’ve got the right idea; in the video, Preston says “She ended up here in this land as a Breaker and succumbed to the dangers of the Overgrowth.” Your arsenal is mirrored by The Last Master, who wields a sword and a spear as well as an automatic pistol. The behavior of the Last Master mirrors that of the Breakers, as she is agile, quick, and able to leap after those who attempt escape.

Although the original Hyper Light title was single-player 2D experience, the new title features a four-player co-op adventure rogue-lite. Each run will feature a procedurally generated open-world. You will be creating a Breaker to explore the Overgrowth cursed area and attempting to take down the Crowns, the rulers of this region.

You can find more about this game in our latest issue of Game Informer. You also can see the initial reveal trailer here and the IGN’s gameplay reveal right here. Hyper Light Breaker is now available for early access.
