In a special trailer shared with Game Rant, Heart Machine reveals some intriguing footage and information about one of the characters in Hyper Light Breaker. This character, Goro, stands out among the game’s roster for various reasons. His charming raccoon-like appearance might suggest a softer side, but the gameplay footage showcases his fierce abilities. The playstyles featured seem tailored for players who enjoy a more focused approach to gameplay.
Characters in Hyper Light Breaker can adopt various playstyles based on the weapons and upgrades players gather during their roguelike escapades in the dynamically generated open world. Each character maintains distinct approaches. Goro, for example, is highlighted in the trailer for his lightning-fast melee attacks and supportive skills that enhance cooperative gameplay.
Hyper Light Breaker’s Goro Has Some Unique Playstyles
The trailer kicks off by showcasing Goro’s impressive “blade skills,” which is clearly demonstrated in the gameplay footage. We see him swiftly taking down a cluster of foes with quick strikes from his dual daggers. Heart Machine also mentions that Goro comes from the Land of Light, a term that should resonate with players of Hyper Light Drifter who have delved into its rich lore. Following that, Goro is depicted summoning a massive block of energy that crashes down on a bunch of unsuspecting slimes, obliterating them instantly. In terms of offense, Goro appears to have significant area damage capabilities, making him particularly effective against groups of weaker enemies.
Heart Machine elaborates on Goro’s Sycom selections, which act as subclasses for each character in Hyper Light Breaker. One of the standout options is Goro’s Astrologer Sycom, which revolves around his ability to summon drone companions that can assist allies or disrupt foes. This makes an Astrologer Goro a valuable asset for cooperative gameplay. Additionally, Goro has a Sniper loadout that focuses on delivering powerful long-range strikes. While both Sycom choices leave Goro with lower HP compared to other characters, they offer a mix of offensive and supportive skills, creating a thrilling high-risk, high-reward experience for skilled players.
With Goro’s Sycoms providing tailored combat techniques, he’s sure to appeal to gamers looking to dive deep into their chosen playstyle, unlike the more generalist Vermillion. I can’t wait to see how the variety of weapons and roguelike upgrades in Hyper Light Breaker will enhance Goro and the other characters’ approaches to combat.
