Hyper Light Drifter is a 2D action role playing game inspired by the 8 and 16 bit classics of the past, only it has been enhanced with modern gameplay mechanics and designs over a huge scale world.

The game features pixel art, but it looks pretty darn gorgeous if you ask me. Worlds in Hyper Light Drifter will be dark, filled with forests, floating structures, deep ruins, lots of enemies, bosses, and so on.

The gameplay is described as playing like “the best parts of A Link to the Past and Diablo, evolved: lightning fast combat, more mobility, an array of tactical options, more numerous and intelligent enemies, and a larger world with a twisted past to do it all in.” Sounds pretty amazing to me.

If any of this piqued your interest, you can go and pledge on their kickstarter page here. They also recently added stretch goals to bring the excellent looking game to Playstation 4 and Vita.
