Oct. 2024
Now THIS is an idle RPG. Surprisingly good story for how light it is. Addictive gameplay loop (yes, that's why it's named that), simple to learn, takes ages to optimize so you can get to the REAL challenges, and in a way, relaxing and surprisingly cozy. Create your own little world, live in it, and thrive. Kill a bad guy or two. Quit anytime, come up with new strategies, play it dangerous to high-roll or play it safe and hope you don't get outscaled. Decipher the story. Build a little town, too. Meet a few interesting characters that only have a few lines each, but so much personality nevertheless. See numbers go big. Neuron activation.

I like this game but it's frustrating it was unfinished. There are traces of unimplemented features like unused inventory slots, and dead end plot threads. What's there is certainly a good game but it's cruel how some things seem possible and it takes a google search to learn they stopped working on the game. Was gonna leave a negative review for that but nah, like this game too damn much for that.

If you want a game with a simple premise but a lot of depth and replayability, buy Loop Hero. If you enjoy watching movies and TV-shows with a chill game on the side, buy Loop Hero. If you love retro vibes, pixel art and good 16-bit music, buy Loop Hero. If you want a fresh take on Rogue Likes, buy Loop Hero. If you're looking for a good game, buy Loop Hero!

This game is a total brain teaser and a brilliant merge of an RPG and deckbuilding. What truly hooked me was the constant sense of exploration. Every loop offered an opportunity to experiment with new cards, to try out fresh strategies to conquer the path and break the cycle. Would adding a swamp next to the goblin camp create a deadlier (and more rewarding) encounter? Would placing a vampire mansion near the hero's starting point be a strategic masterstroke or a recipe for disaster? The possibilities were endless, and the thrill of discovering a powerful new combo or witnessing the effects of your environmental manipulation was immensely satisfying. Thankfully, the minimalist interface never gets in the way of the strategic depth. Everything is understandable and easy to use, which is crucial for a game that relies on experimentation and quick decision-making. A complex interface could have easily become an insurmountable hurdle, turning the strategic dance into a frustrating exercise in menu navigation. The game strikes a perfect balance, allowing players to focus on the core gameplay loop without unnecessary clutter. It is a unique and captivating experience, but it might not be for everyone. The meditative gameplay and slow drip-feed of story might not resonate with all players. Some nights you'll find yourself staring down the business end of a boss monster, questioning the repetitive nature of the loop. However, for those who enjoy strategic depth disguised in a deceptively simple package, and who find satisfaction in slowly unraveling a mystery, this game offers a journey like no other. Lore? No, just no. Is it worth the money? While the replayability factor might be limited for some, the initial experience and strategic depth make it a worthwhile purchase. Is it enjoyable? For majority of the gamers, I would suppose. Will I ever play it again? Unlikely.

This game had me obsessed for a couple of weeks. It is repetitive (duh) and grindy but I don't mind that. The story gets surprisingly philosophical and the art style makes me think of Berserk (especially the design of the second boss). Loved the attention to detail!
