Gutes Spiel um am Feierabend zu relaxen, lädt mich immer wieder zu einer Runde ein. Dorf erweitern, Held ausstatten, Deck zusammenstellen und ab geht’s in den Loop. Mit der Zeit wird man immer besser, kennt die besten Landschafts- und Gebäudekombinationen und wie es sich zielgerichtet farmen lässt. Ein toller Genremix der mir gefällt. Spannend und entspannend zugleich.

Eine Runde noch, der Weg ist das Ziel!

Loop Hero bietet interessantes Taktisches Gameplay, eine tiefe verborgene Lore und einen hübschen Stil mit guter Musik.

Man muss sich allerdings bewusst sein, dass das Spiel zu großen Teilen aus RNG besteht. Die Karten die man bekommt und die Stats der Items die man erhält sind komplett zufällig - aber stellenweise nicht ganz ausbalanciert. So hatte ich Runden in denen ich alles niedergemetzelt habe was mir im Weg steht, ich hatte aber auch Runden in denen ich bereits im 7. Loop war, aber erst Items mit Level 3 bis 5 hatte.

Die Progression finde ich sehr interessant. Aus seinen Expeditionen sammelt man Resourcen mit denen man sein Dorf ausbauen kann, welches als eine Art hub agiert. Die Häuser bieten diverse Dinge wie permanente Vortile im Hauptgameplay, neue Karten die man setzen kann und Verwahrungsmöglichkeiten für Items die man auf seinen Reisen erhält. Zudem gibt es einen gewissen Puzzle-Faktor: Man kann durch verschiedene Karten-Kombinationen neue Karten zum Vorschein bringen. Das führt dazu, dass man diverse Kombinationen austestet um zu schauen wie die Felder miteinander interagieren.

Durch das voranschreiten der Hauptmissionen und das bauen von neuen Gebäuden schalten sich Dialoge frei die mehr über die Welt von Loop Hero zum vorschein bringen. Sie ist interessant zu verfolgen, allerding geht das ganze im Verlauf des späteren Spiels zurück.

Generell verlangsamen sich Dinge im späteren Spiel. Ich bin nicht ganz durch, dürfte aber so ca. bei zwei dritteln sein. An diesem Punkt gibt es kaum noch Gebäude zu Bauen, Karten freizuschalten oder neue Monster zu entdecken. Die Entwickler haben bereits Content-Updates für die Zukunft angekündigt, aber an diesem Punkt ist man mit dem Freischalten schnell durch.

Nach 68 Spielstunden darf ich sagen: Das Spiel ist schlichtweg überschätzt. Die allermeiste Zeit sitzt man nur daneben und wartet, dass genügend Material für irgendwelche Bauten gesammelt worden sind. Zu Beginn probiert man eine Zeit lang herum, bis man sämtliche Karten verstanden hat und weiß, welche wie zu bauen sind. Danach ist es schlicht langweilig. Ich habe eine Menge TV gesehen und nebenbei das Spiel laufen lassen. So fesselnd war es...

Als ich mir das Spiel gekauft hatte, wollte ich es erst einmal testen und im Notfall zurückgeben falls es mir keinen Spaß macht. Nach den ersten 5 Spielstunden jedoch entpuppte sich das Spiel als besser als ich gedacht habe. Mir Persönlich gefällt die Grafik sehr sehr gut (auch wenn diese nicht jeder mögen wird) und die Musik passt ebenfalls sehr gut zu dem Gesamten Design und der Stimmung. Auf den ersten Blick scheint es zwar nicht besonders kompliziert zu sein doch vorallem im Lategame ist es nötig sich einen Build für die Landschaften zu erstellen, seine Ausrüstung zu optimieren und natürlich die Beste Klasse für den jeweiligen build zu finden. Unter anderem gibt es wirklich viele Landschaftskarten mit jeweiligen Gegnerarten welche sich auch mit anderen Karten Kombinieren lassen und so neue Gegner oder Regionen erstellen lassen. Das Spiel hat sogar eine Story welche meiner Meinung nach aber nicht ganz so relevant oder wichtig für das Spieleerlebnis ist. Außerdem ist das spiel meiner Meinung nach (insbesondere wenn man schon recht viel gespielt hat) ein wenig langsam. Dies lässt sich jedoch auch ganz einfach im Loop Hero Ordner ändern so das man dies auch anpassen kann. Alles in allem ein echt gutes Spiel welches viele Stunden Content bringt. Daher meine Empfehlung, einfach mal kaufen und testen. Falls es nach den ersten anderthalb Stunden nicht gefällt kann man es ja immer noch zurückgeben.

I just beat the game, or at least I played until the credits showed up, which took me 35 hours. Here is my subjective opinion:

In short:
It's not really a bad game, but it gets lackluster after a while. I had fun with the game for about 10 hours. After that, it starts to get very repetitive in my opinion. I would argue there isn't really enough content and variety to keep it interesting until you actually beat it.

In detail:
After an introduction to the expedition mechanics and the base building, the game basically plays like this: You start an expedition and try to collect ressources from various sources while you also try not to die and get stronger. At some point, usually before the boss fight, you decide wether you want to retreat with all your ressources or continue, potentially loosing 70% of your ressources (if you die), but with the chance to advance the story (if you win). The ressources can then be used to upgrade the base, which gives you permanent upgrades. There are many mechanics to keep this interesting for a while, like new cards, new playable classes and so on. After a while you will have seen most of it and the upgrades will become simpler stuff, like additional percentages to hero strength or a couple more potions to carry. After that point, you basically do the same or similar things over and over again, with the goal to acquire more ressources, a.k.a it becomes a grind. Although I pulled through to the end, I am usually weak with grindy stuff. If you don't mind it as much, go for it. There are certainly many good things about it, the visuals as an example.

This game is great for the first 10 or so hours. Then it turns into a total grind fest and not a fun one at that. You'll try farming up some supplies, be stomping every encounter for 30+ minutes only to run into some normal enemy you've killed 100 times, that one shots you suddenly and you lose 70% of what you just spent your time on. This game does not respect your time.

It was a fun and good game when you are still learning the mechanics and experimenting with different card deck combinations. Once you get a strat that works, this is where you can play the game semi-idle. But that gameplay only works for the Rouge character (1 of the 3 only playable classes). The other 2 need constant micro-management and the idling mechanic doesn't work for them.

As an Idle game: there's not a lot of depth with the game, unlocks/upgrades are grindy to get. While Idle games like grind/timegates, the upgrades at mid-game doesn't feel worth the time you grinded. Usually, when you upgrade something in idle games, you get a big boost on power level and you get reinvigorated to steamroll enemies until you hit a wall then repeat. While you can farm tons of materials on the last level, it feels useless because you already beat the game or burned out to beat the final boss with other classes.

As a roguelike: there's not enough variation per run. The variation mostly comes from your card deck and since there's only 1 deck that works for a class, it becomes stale. The placement of the cards/tiles also becomes standardized and it becomes boring.

The game tries to incorporate both but fails to be good as a whole, or even one of them. Wish there was a neutral rating, but this time I'm giving this a doesn't recommend. Better games that is worth your time

Loop hero is an excellent example of modern day Roguelikes that are fantastically designed but outstay their welcome extremely easily. The presentation is fantastic, the game mechanics are solid (although a bit barebones), the story is extremely gripping at first, and the game puts a ton of effort into giving its world some character. And I can't overstate just how well made those parts of the game are, when you meet a new enemy they get their own dialogue box sprite and they will talk to you about how they perceive the broken world that you the hero are trying to repair. The deck building aspect can be a ton of fun and you can mix and match cards that you maybe would never have thought of. It can be very addicting to do a run and reset. Those are just some of the many examples of the great potential this game has.

So what makes this game drag on if so many things are so good? Currently I have 10,2 hours into the game according to steam. In about 2 hours you will see most of the important and interesting mechanics the game has to offer, after that it uses the same horrible system that a lot of modern roguelikes employ where you have a base that you upgrade, and upgrading that base makes you more powerful. However in loop heroes case this becomes even more important because you barely have any control over the game. If you want to avoid RNG your options are to grind a ton or to abuse certain builds to make it through the harder levels.

So how difficult is this game? Up until what I assume is the final level, I haven't had much trouble at all. But the final level is what made me give up on this game. Its exactly everything I hated about the game combined. This is technically also a deck builder, but your freedom in creating a deck feels like it doesn't exist. The final level is so hard that its hard to win even with using really strong strategies, if you haven't been grinding a bunch like me then your base also isn't strong enough to make use of a lot of these strategies. So not only am I not playing the game the way I want to play it, I also have to pray that it all ends up working out. It completely drains any and all fun that I had with this game and feels overly punishing as a result.

It sucks because I wanted to experience the ending of the story myself. It starts off pretty strong and while it does start getting pretty monotonous, it still is pretty unique and fun. I wanted my time in this game to matter more. But I am not willing to put in another 10 + hours just to see that ending, this game does not have enough depth for that to be the case.

I give Loop hero a very disappointed negative review. I think there is a lot to love here, but to me it absolutely wasn't enough to keep me going until the end. I would rather have spent my time playing something else.

A great example of a bad good game. This game has great presentation and a neat concept and isn't buggy. It's very well made, but fundamentally fails at what makes a rogue-lite great, and offers very little repeatability. Simply put, the game is to consistent.

Enemy drops are random but so abundant that you're always going to get your strategies gear eventually, and the deck building aspect, while interesting can actually restrict you, because the game is designed to be challenging enough to warrant a certain level of optimisation in your deck builds. The only actual random element is level up rewards, which are mostly insignificant with a coherent plan.

Once you have a winning strategy, you're only incentive to change it is sheer boredom.

I almost can't believe I'm giving this a negative review, because I think the concept is really interesting, and there are some parts of the game that I enjoy a lot. I think what kept me playing for 30 hours was the game's theme, I just wanted to uncover more layers of the world, and I respect this game despite not recommending it so I'll write some words about why.

The core gameplay loop, most of the time, is not very fun for me. Even when everything is going well, it isn't very fascinating or enjoyable to watch your character go round and round while you sit there and do nothing except occasionally swap out this or that piece of equipment. It takes a very long time to farm the more advanced resources, so if you want 3 more of some particular orb you have to spend 30 minutes to get them, while accomplishing nothing else. You can't leave the game unattended while it farms away for you, however, because enemies are constantly scaling, so you have to keep an attentive eye on the nothing that's happening. I felt bored in my 5th run, and I felt bored in my 50th run.

Part of why I think this game is boring is that the meta progression doesn't feel very impactful. Broadly speaking, I have very little idea why I'm expanding the village or what I'm working towards in that regard, even after 30 hours. I know the effects of each building and what they do, but I don't feel a cohesive goal to any of it. I have almost every structure built, and it doesn't seem as though I'll be unlocking more, so shouldn't I feel some kind of accomplishment, or feel like I did something good and worthwhile by making all these buildings? I don't really feel any purpose about any of it, and the development is kind of incidental to me. I don't feel as though I've built anything significant. I think this is both because expanding the village didn't help me in any very significant way or change my runs in any very significant way, with exception of the buildings that unlock new classes. I think it's also partly because I was given very little information about what I was working towards, or how each new structure or upgrade fit into the bigger picture.

The way they present information hasn't really worked for me. There's an encyclopedia with most of the information you'll need about the things that you've discovered, but within a run you're given very little info about how enemies and effects interact with one another or how to get a resource, and it feels disconnected. My instinct is always to just do things and see what happens, so it was only bit by bit that uncovered information like which enemies drop what, and what their abilities are, and so on. Uncovering that information ended up feeling tedious, and yet was also one of the only things that gave me any sense of purpose, since I felt I had something to discover. I think if I had relied on the encyclopedia, I would have just stopped playing immediately.

Part of why uncovering that information was boring and unsatisfying was because the meta loop, village progression, felt mostly pointless. Once or twice I got a new resource and felt excited because I could finally build a new thing in the village that I'd been waiting to build. And then I built it, and nothing much changed, and I wondered why I had bothered.

Another part of why it was unsatisfying is that, at least for me, the feedback you're given about why a run is succeeding or failing is not very useful or reliable. One morning, I did a few runs, and they were all very successful. I scaled very well and reached some nice stat breakpoints, and it was quite a satisfying result if not terribly exciting along the way. My long toil paid off when I took down a couple bosses and claimed some large bounties. Later in the day, without changing anything, I started losing horribly and couldn't scale to save my life. I couldn't tell you why there was a difference between them or what the difference even really was.

I don't think the game gives you a good sense of what is working and what isn't, and it sometimes blindsides you, like when you run into the bandit's hidden 5% chance to destroy your equipment, which will almost certainly get you killed on the spot. (Try going from 75% dodge to 0% dodge because your boots disappeared without notice and you died before you realized, it's not an interesting way to lose a run. Keep in mind you'll always be playing at 4x speed because nothing happens for long periods of time, so tragedy can strike in the blink of an eye.)

Anyway, if I keep writing more I'll probably just be complaining about random things, and I think covered the broad strokes. I will probably keep playing this game a bit more, and hopefully it gets better and I change my mind about it, but right now this game feels like it should be in early access and is missing a lot of polishing. I wish I had liked it more.

Edit: After around 40 hours, I had unlocked and fully upgraded almost everything, and finally noticed real changes in gameplay. At this point the game finally became fun. Not super fun, just standard fun. If it takes that long for a game to get anywhere, I am never going to recommend other people play it.

Lovely aesthetic and a wonderfully interesting setting too, but the core gameplay loop (no pun intended) simply isn't all that fun. The pacing is awfully slow even with all speed settings cranked to the max. There isn't anything for the player to do aside from watching the titular hero run through the titular loop over and over again.

Might be worth getting if it's on sale, but honestly you're not missing much by giving this title a pass.

I've never played a game quite like this! It has such a unique play style and a very in depth upgrade system. The art and music is also incredible! (reminds me of The Messenger). You should definitely get the version with the soundtrack! There are so many combinations of tile placements and deck compositions to play around with as well. It seems simple and straightforward, but it can also get as complex as you want it to be. I would definitely recommend this to people who are into Tower Defense style games with more of an RPG and fast paced twist.

A more detailed video review can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mq_eJSzIh-I

Loop Hero is an excellent casual rogue lite experience overall. Brilliant soundtrack with nice pixel art hook you in very quickly with its bleak atmosphere. It has a very solid blend of card game deck building, auto-battler combat and settlement building with resource management, something which sounds almost like an amalgamation of trendy concepts before you see it in action. If you're a more casual player that feels overwhelmed by the likes of Risk of Rain or Noita, Loop Hero is going to be right up your alley.

But if you're a player like me who likes his rogue lites extremely punishing and deep, this isn't the game. For now at least there's only three classes to choose from, and it feels like there's room for a lot more interesting gameplay twists. The number of cards at your disposal isn't very high either, and even if there are some slight variations between classes, there's little reason to run different deck compositions.

But the worst is there's a card you get access to later in the game that simply breaks the entire balance, and guarantees you one broken run after another. Not only that, but since the game's an auto-battler, once you pass a certain threshold of buffs with the help of that card, the player's input become unnecessary. In other words, the game plays itself, making for a not so exciting experience.

Overall, it's a great game despite my criticism, I even enjoyed my time with it. Not all rogue lites need to be sweat fests, and just because it's not my kind of game it doesn't mean I'd tell others to avoid it.

Would not recommend this game, even as I played almost twenty hours learning the mechanisms. There is a whole lot of the game that slowly becomes available over time, so there is an unfulfilled yearning for the game to become surprisingly better. However, the core is two parts: an idle game, and a game where the player acts as the dungeon-keeper, for his hero to loot and to gain experience. The idle game is so dull, with literally nothing to do but adjust looted equipment, and the dungeon-keeping requires knowledge of hidden location combinations. That was not enough to make the game continually interesting, and I often found myself dozing off in my chair.

Some other faults were the sound effects (the daily rooster effect was particularly grating), the limited soundtrack loops, and the lack of voice acting. There used to be a demo to try on steam, and when I couldn't find it, I took a chance at purchasing the game. I leave this review hoping other people will take more time considering their purchase. The game looks good, but the gameplay elements do not have enough to make it worth the time, especially not for the asking price.

Nope. Loop Hero takes a great idea, has some great music and art and then falls flat on the gameplay. The loop (heh) that indie games have is exceptionally boring here. Buildings take too long to unlock, and apart the card unlocks they don't feel impactful, either.
I didn't feel my choices had that much impact, or I was forced to obvious choices.
No matter my build, if I get a weapon that's level 12, and I have a level 8 weapon - obviously I'm going for the better one. So I'm left there equipping items that are just a higher number a lot of the time. I found this tedious, along with all the land cards, I wish there was an auto place feature.
At this point I'd say it's an idle clicker game. I expected strategy, and this game is not that.

This game is incredible, it's like someone reached into my brain and pulled out one of my dream games. Fun to play, easy to learn with cool tricks that come from mastery. I like to play it while I work, because I can just focus on something else and come back to it. 10/10

Was fun for a few hours, then I got REAAALLLLLY bored in chapter 2. It feels like I have to hunt for certain resources but -- unless I'm missing something -- the game forces you to pursue a bunch of pointless gameplay just to try to figure out how to mine one particular resource in order to unlock more buildings in your camp.

Idk. I didn't get it.

I don't understand why this game was hyped.
I like idle and incremential games from time to time, and since so many people liked this game, I was pretty sure that it would be a game for me. But for me this game feels tedious, unrewarding and too simple, while beeing too complicated at the same time.
I also expected it to be more idle, but in fact there is a lot of mico-management to be done most of the time.

It started okay, so I had fun for like 5-6 hours, but after 15 hours I was pretty much fed up with it and checked if I was doing something wrong, but I wasn't.

Before I use my time for longer explanation, this review sumed it up pretty good and made me sure, that I will not miss anything after deinstalling the game now:

Loop Hero is a Deck building + Tower defense + Roguelite + Autobattler game,
I can say without a doubt that it is one of the best Indies I have played this year,
it has beautiful Grimdark pixel art, innovating concepts and a godlike soundtrack,
once I started to play it I couldn't stop until I completed all the achievements,
totally recommended to anyone who wants to have a new game experience.

Game has really nice visuals and presentation, the music is great, the start of the game is interesting and it definitely grabbed me, however, just a few hours in I leave the game regretting my time I spend with it, it's really grindy, unfulfilling, it wants to be an idler but if you let the game to it's own devices you'll die easily, but the attention it requires from you has not much though, simply changing armor to the best ones as soon as you get them, to ocasionally placing a new card that you actually want to use in a sea of cards that stop being useful after the first few placements in the run, there is a lot of cards that have extremely limited uses in your run, you'll probably use them 2 times and then they proceed to occupy space in your deck and block other more important cards to actually appear.

Unlocking the first few buildings in your camp was nice but really fast it starts to ask for materials that you will spend hours to get just a couple of, it almost seems like the game realizes it has so little content it has to pad the rest of the game with mindless grinding.

The game also doesn't do a very good job at explaining you the deck building system, which is weird after having such a hand-holdy first tutorial, it suddenly doesn't give you any more information, making the grind also worse as only some cards give you certain items that you need to build things with.

A game that lets you go though déjà vu over and over again while curb stomping monsters that will eventually curb stomp you.

A game that lets you place down tiles that affect the map and spawn different enemies. There is also a lot of interaction between the tiles that you place. Unless you look at the wiki and learn all the combos, I am sure that there is always something more that you could create from the cards.

Overall, I thought it was a good game that I could pick up and do a run and then put down. The only problem is that I don't set it down after I get going because it nice to play a game where I can check out mentally and listen to a podcast as my little character fights fantasy creatures.

If I had to give this game a score overall, I would give it a bowl of Reece's Puffs over a bowl of Regular Cheerios.

Loop Hero offers exploratory gameplay like an open-world game. But without an open world - without any world, really. The game insentifies you to find, more or less useful, card synergies, as you build countless of worlds around the loop, everytime you decide to embark on an expedition, and slowly make your way to the final boss.

The gameplay is unique and not easy to master, as you often need to think far ahead so your card placements are the most efficient and don't lead to one part of you strategy completely falling apart.

Don't forget to put your game speed on 180, in my opinion the encounters and movement of the hero are too slow at default speed.

While kind of a neat idea at first and a little addicting with how easy to start it is, it quickly wears thin. The idea of having all these map tiles that can interact and change each other isn't really capitalized on like it could be. The interactions that are there are kind of basic. Pretty quickly gets grindy and repetitive.

The idea of this game is great, but poorly executed. Loop hero starts out to be fun and addictive, but after beating the first boss or around after 10 hours of playing it everything falls apart and game becomes extremely repetitive and grindy.

Game being grindy is not necessarily bad, I have played some games that are grindy but also enjoyed every second of them, but for loop hero, every run becomes literally the same, boring and tedious. grinding is not even an option, if you want to progress and beat the next chapter you HAVE to grind, you have to use same cards and place them the same way every single run if you want to progress.

Worst part is that you might randomly die from having bad RNG. You have no control over combat. You will get to campfire after several loops, having good combat items and full health and you can safely retreat without losing resources that you got in that run, but why would you? Your hero has no sign of weakness so you keep going and die from really strong enemy combination or from not getting any new good combat items and you'll lose 70% of your resources, which leads to grinding for them again.

There are also many card placement syringes, but the game never tells you anything about them. In fact the game barely tells and teaches you anything. Item and card descriptions are bland and poorly written. You are confused about what this and that item does.

Loop hero would have been much better game if only developers didn't make it so grindy and repetitive. Finishing the game in 10 hours or so is much better, rather than playing it for 40 hours and playing it in the exact same way.
The story was interesting and I really wanted to see how the story and game would end, but it fell apart and became very boring.

It's like an idle game, except it's actually a game that you participate in and have to pay attention to. Unique gameplay mechanics, fresh ideas, many different strategies and styles within, along with retro pixel art that might evoke memories of the days when games were on floppy disks. It's a game you can halfway turn your brain off while playing so it gets a thumbs up from me as far as chill games go.

The main problem is this game is super grindy. It's addictive, sure, but I always find myself regretting the time I spent, not appreciating it. The tipping moment came for me in an hour long loop. I'd been ready to fight the boss for some time, but couldn't get enough cards to summon him. Just gear after gear. I realized that as much as I liked the concept and was interested in the story I wasn't having fun with it.

Sorry If This Isn't Really A Review but i want to highlight some points with the negative reviews of this game and why I Don't think a lot of them stand. I'm going to go by a point by point basis.

1. No (or little) Complexity Or Depth

I See People Say The Loop Gets Repetitive because variation in runs is low or non-existent, I personally believe these people run the same deck and class over and over without switching to try new builds or supply items. The Complexity comes from being creative and trying new combos and strats out, for example the swamp card makes all healing lethal and 1 of the classes doesn't really use health so you can pair a swamp, witch hut and vampire mansion to turn their healing effects lethal and make your like much easier. I would use more examples but I want people to be more creative and find the cool stuff themselves. Obviously you will run of out of new stuff to find but this doesn't happen that quickly aswell as this game is still relatively new.

2. This Game Turns Into A Big Grind

Now this is one is sorta true but the grind isn't anywhere as bad as some say, it's mostly just building the right deck for what you're wanting until alchemy, want orbs of expansion? run spider cocoons with vampire mansions and battle fields and what about astral orbs? run temporal beacons with bookeries and vampire mansions. There is a grind but there are ways to make it easier.

3. The Bosses Suck

I Agree with this. [spoiler]The Lich is the only one that is ok albeit a bit basic, the other three need changes. The Priestess is quite the jump from The Lich which would be alright if The Hunter wasn't such a bloody pushover, The Priestess's high evade chance mixed with the high dmg from her angels is really tough for when you supposed to fight her. The Hunter as I said is a complete pushover, being able to disable his hounds and then directly target then kill him is dumb when without him his hounds attack slower making them less of a threat. Lastly Omega Is Mostly RNG, I'm not going into full detail about his ability but he briefly removes stats from your character.[/spoiler]

4. Accidently Spawning Secret Bosses

I only saw this once or twice but come on, this is rare! Spawning both secret bosses is something you have to try to do, They are not easy to spawn.

All in all I really like this game and I'm excited to see where this goes. I would recommend buying this game if you like rouge-likes, deck building and maybe idle games, Just don't currently expect to much of the bosses.

TL;DR Loop Hero Loop Good

(EDIT: Forgot to mention alchemy for resources)

I LOVE THIS GAME SO SO GOOD


Just one more loop, then I'll go to bed


This game is great, worth every penny.
Although the full game is live, I see a lot of potential for updates in the future.Instead of controlling the hero's movements, you mainly control what they encounter by placing objects on the loop that create the world--things like cemeteries that can spawn skeletons, villages that can heal you, or swamps that generate nasty mosquitos. These are provided by cards that you draw from a limited deck which you can edit between runs, letting you curate each one to a degree.And while your hero automatically navigates in circles and resolves fights with enemies without any inputs, you also manage their inventory carefully to deal with the increasing challenges that each new round trip brings. Ultimately, Loop Hero challenges you to balance risk and reward by keenly considering all the options your current cards give you to make your next loop challenging, but not deadly.
Pros
-Simple system to pick up
-pixel graphics
-multiple classes playable which adds depth to play styles
-multiple builds available for decks and classes
-resource system to build up camp for roguelike attributes for future runs
-chapters allow for harder runs with bonus loot
-enemies are very balanced in the way they become stronger every loop and in further chapters
-statistics feature keeps track of pretty much all your stats
Cons
-crafted items have clear S-F tiers where lower tiers don't really benefit you much
-special tiles like blood path, hungry grove, etc are found by trial and error. Although it encourages players to try new things, could add hints in encyclopedia to help players find the combos
-there's no way to pause a run and later come back to it, so if you are on a very long run, you have to retreat before closing
I enjoyed this game, I had a great time learning what to do and how to progress. The game’s main strength is how it introduces new concepts over the course of the game. It doesn’t rush everything and drip feeds you new abilities and content to keep you interested.

Neat, but ultimately boring, and not just because you don't do anything. Combat is fine, it basically doesn't exist and that's okay, but my gripe is with progression and build diversity. I know I haven't reached the endgame, but I'm 15 hours in, I barely know what I'm doing, and my strategy is the exact same every single game. Most permanent upgrades seem either niche or dull, I still don't understand how all the resources work, and at least for necromancer (and rogue, maybe? I played rogue less) there seems to be literally 1 stat to max out and then a few secondary ones to consider once you have it, so choosing armor and weapons is about as automatic as the combat is. I don't understand where the fun is in this game, and I'm just not interested in either grinding or doing separate research to find out. I own other games that are actually fun from the start. I'll just play those instead.

The concept is cool at first and the presentation is nice, but everything goes to shit once you beat the first loop and it all turns into an ungodly grind for unlocking new stuff at camp and powering up your hero through doing the same stuff over and over again and retreating before fighting the boss. Without grinding like crazy to power yourself up and acquire better cards, success in each new stage is focused far more on luck than anything else. It really can't be understated how excessive the grind is either, even if they reduced all the requirements to half of what they currently are I'd still think it to be needlessly grindy.

I'd love this game but there is so much luck based grinding involved that I lost interest before I reached the end of the game. Everything is great. The story, gameplay, art work, music, sound. It's so good that I was willing to grind. But I reached a point were I got bored by constantly doing the same stuff without unlocking anything.

Overall still a great game,
I don't really know if it deserves a negative review.
Hmm.

Loop Hero is a half idle/half time management with pseudo rogue-lite and deck building elements.

PROS:
+ First hour of the game is intriguing.
+ A nice try to combine genres to develop an original concept.
+ Even somewhat short and revolves around a single idea, story is good.

NEUTRAL:
~ Pixel art style has its charm (nothing superb and looks somewhat mediocre)
~ Combined genre mechanics works well but half-baked

CONS:
- Repetitive, bleak, grind-fest gameplay.
- Not enough variety to keep you invested.
- Bleak, repetitive soundtrack and sfx.

FINAL:

4/10

Loop Hero has some novel ideas there and there but sum of it doesnt deliver a satisfying game but a boring one. It is overextended with pointless grind, and doesnt have any variety on any part it tries to emulate.

I think this game is so close to being great but all of the reviews are correct: it's not good enough as an idle game and it's not good enough as an active roguelite. The worldbuilding and visuals are great, but the gameplay is just... bland?

The game is honestly just mediocre at best. I give it credit for a great soundtrack and pixel graphics, as well as a fairly innovative approach to a roguelite. But ultimately the game itself is pretty lacking. There's not much in terms of player agency or strategy and your individual skill and experience doesn't really weigh much, all of your power is tied to your meta progression. If you just want a brainless grind it's still a pretty cheap game but I personally was not a fan of how little room there was for any actual strategy.

I enjoyed this game, I had a great time learning what to do and how to progress. The game’s main strength is how it introduces new concepts over the course of the game. It doesn’t rush everything and drip feeds you new abilities and content to keep you interested.

Loop Hero is quite the unique game, to describe it as a roguelike would be inaccurate. To describe it as a dungeon crawler would be better but still not quite accurate. To describe it as an RPG manager would be the best way of describing it, a game I would consider closest to this is Darkest Dungeon. The components of the game are managing your trinkets and the campsite, and succeeding in expeditions. When you do an expedition you are collecting resources and if you can defeating the boss of that chapter. An expedition is the main part of the game, your character walks around in a loop while you place down tiles that have an effect on the character or what the character might encounter. Using resources you then build buildings at your campsite. These buildings unlock new abilities or tiles which you can encounter in expeditions. You pick what kind of tiles you will have at the start of an expedition and some tiles have special interactions when placed next to other tiles. Also you can have it on in the background while doing other things. Oh yeah, the games can be short as 15 minutes or drag on for 14 hours, when you beat the boss of a chapter you can keep playing. You can get an absolute ton of resources for doing this which will make you easily beat the game.

The games aesthetics are excellent. Good music, art direction and story. One of the reasons I plugged away at this game was to find out why the world was being unmade and who the hell this skeletal mage is, don’t worry this is literally the start of the game, this isn’t spoiler territory. It’s not going to go into any sort of moral depth but the curiosity of why is enough for me to keep at this game.

The other part of the game is the numbers, Loop Hero is a very math heavy game. You will be comparing a lot of numbers and coming to a decision on what items you should use in a game. This is at first very confusing, something I will address now. There is a rarity system in the game but it works on two levels, the colours are grey, blue, yellow, orange. Grey only gives one stat ability, Orange gives four. However the magnitude of these abilities is a little random and therein lies the second scale of rarity in how good these stats are. Usually the item has a high level compared to what loop of the expedition you are on. The numbers are something you get used to over the course of the game.

One thing I have neglected to mention is combat, simply because that is not your job. Your character will do that bit automatically, they select their targets and begin hacking away at it until it dies. You are a weird spectator in your own game, all you can do is change the environment to benefit your character or make item picks in your characters favour. The weird thing is that this works as a form of gameplay, at no point did I feel detached from my character. The result of an expedition always felt as if it was down to you, the player.
In terms of weaknesses of this game, what I will say is that this game gets repetitive, it literally says it in the title. Thankfully the change ups in the gameplay keep the game fresh for a long time. Once you beat the final boss however there isn’t much left to play for, unless you’re getting achievements. The other problem is more outside of the game where I find the fanbase is a little meta-obsessed. Like any game involving cards there are going to be people out there who will tell you the correct way to play the game, exploration of other ideas is dumb and you’re a stupid person for doing it. Considering I beat the final boss six times without looking at guides, you can easily not look at the community and eventually you’ll beat the boss in your own way. Exploration of the game mechanics is a part of Loop Hero, you’re punished for getting things wrong but there is very much the atmosphere of ‘try again’.

Overall I would recommend this game to people who have played Darkest Dungeon. It’s an easier game and is quicker to complete. I would recommend it to people who play combat based classic RPGs, a lot of familiar mechanics plus this game is on cruise control. I would also say the game is somewhat casual, it doesn’t require lightning fast reflexes and can be paused. If I scaled it in my top 100 it is in the 90’s, not a classic but an interesting niche little game worthy of a good play.

In Loop Hero, the World has come to an end, you are in the dark times, without anything left, just fractions of memories of what the world once was. But how reliable are memories?
Not all hope is lost thou, among the Darkness and nothingness of the void of what once was, you find a Campfire and a very few survivors. Hope engulfed you, and you set out on a journey, to rebuild the world…from the memories you have left…to what it once…was?

Loop Hero is a very interesting mix of the Rogue like and Card Game genres. A mix that works fantastically nonetheless.
Before you start a game, you can build a card deck. You got different categories but are free to mix them however you like, you just have a limit on how much you deck can take obviously. Many Cards have synergies with each other, like buffing each other’s effects when played together, or they do X after Y amount of time has passed. Just some examples.
Unlike other card games though, you don’t use the cards for fighting directly but…

…to build your world! Each time you start a game a loop will be randomly generated.
With nothing on it, beside some slimes! Here is where the cards come into play! Each time you defeat an enemy you’ll get an random amount of cards and gear. The fighting itself runs on auto mode, the outcome is purely determined by your gear and stats.
With some cards, you build the world outside of the loop and with others you place your enemies and building along the loop wherever you like. Each time a day passes new enemies will spawn. For every fight you win, or certain tiles you cross, you will also receive resources.

You can leave the loop every time you want. At the start of each loop with 100% of the resources you gathered, whenever you want with 60% or only 30% on death.

With them you can build your camp. You have an unlock tree to work yourself up, which unlocks new Buildings, which are also upgradeable, to help you on your journey. With certain building your also unlock new cards, and new classes!

There are 3 classes in total. Warrior, which is your starting character, Rogue and Necromancer. Rogue and Necromancer will be unlocked via your camp progress.

Loop Hero is really an interesting mix of different genres, and a very well made one. Of course, the game looks like it does, but it has its charm, and the graphic works perfectly for what it wants to be.
Even if card games aren’t your thing usually (which is also my case) I’m so glad I got my hands on the game. The unique mix works out and it’s absolutely addicting.
This game definitely deserves to be tried out.

Loop Hero blends a few gameplay ideas to create something that is almost an idle game, but still interactive enough that you have choices to make and things to do.

The game has you going in loops of increasing difficulty while you gradually fill out the world around your hero's path to give him challenges and enemies to fight, starting with an empty expanse until you have to retreat from the enemies, or encounter the boss. It is a nice, satisfying gameplay loop to build up the world in a way that it gives you the bonuses you need to take out the boss.

Once you retreat or have been defeated you can upgrade your campsite to unlock other tiles, classes, and bonuses for your hero. You get to optionally read up on parts of the forgotten world and have small bits of interaction between the hero and those at the camp to help motivate you on your quest. While simple, the progression has a good pace and does not become overpowered or overly grindy.

The combat is entirely automatic. You have no influence over ongoing combat aside from the preparations you've made- Gear equipped and environment set. Your hero will fight all on his own, leaving you perhaps wondering what there is for you to do. After a few hours even the increased speed setting ends up feeling slow, and the constant stopping and starting as you place new tiles after combat and then have nothing to do when combat starts again shortly after can be frustrating.

Even then it remains a good game. The progression does not take too long to make you lose interest in the simple gameplay and it is pleasant on the eyes and ears. Every part of the game shows that the creators loved what they were doing, and so as long you are okay with the unique gameplay loop you will find Loop Hero to be entertainment at great value.

A fascinating expanding world that always maintains an atmosphere of retro sensibility. Progress arouses and feeds curiosity - from building out the camp to min-maxing gear selections among the different classes while 'adventuring' - the simplistic gameplay mechanics belie an intriguing tale that grows in interesting directions.

It's a masterpiece. It's mind-blowing. It's the definition of JUST ONE MORE LOOP! and boom, before you know it, the time, is far beyond your own control. {read the entire review for tips and full overview of this game, or just click like and buy the game to experience it yourself!]

Paused to let you know this is definitely something you will want to play if you enjoy RPG's and a bit of 'Auto Chess' - from dota2 - LoL - and even a bit of Magic the gathering included - because the tiles are representative of lands and can assist you in your journeys

It combines you managing your character's items, with rogue-like features of each run collecting materials, which you can use thereafter to build your base. [If you die you only keep 30% of total resources collected]

The darkness enveloped the world, for you to live in a loop. Everyone's memories are faded. The darkness is so thick that you can lose a branch/stick right in front of you... or it's the forgetfulness. Either way, you are in the loop to mine these resources, level up your items you use, and further the kingdom.

It's addictive, it's definitely nothing like anything I've played before, and to sum it up in these words, still feels short of the overall concept.

Loops : Creature kills gives you cards - which act as tiles on the battlefield:
They can make you face bigger hoards of creatures : more rewarding,
You will continue to decorate the field, and you can even choose whether to add more variety [other tiles] or less,
Depending on the hero you choose, will also depict what items can drop for your character.
The first class is a Warrior - who may equip a ring, armour weapon and shield

Each loop that you complete upgrades the enemies you're going to face next.
Some people say putting the game on automation 4x is what they required because the pacing is slow, but I found that even 2x [with Tab -/toggle on/off - is too much to keep managing your character. They also were required to edit the game INI file - so yeah - it's NOT required to enjoy this game]

When you finally make the building at tier 2 - you unlock the rogue class, and there are more,

It's very cool, and the repeated loops are never the same, or boring.
9 Rock/Mountain tiles will make a mountain range, which then lets Valkyrie's come visit you.

The dialogues with the new enemies, or as the world re-develops again is really good and it's beautiful pixel art everywhere.
Nothing was left unpolished.

I do however feel that the items you have -overwriting the current one - can be annoying, especially for the long-term etc.
The metadata of the items can include:
◘ Attack Speed
◘ Magic damage
◘ Retaliation
◘ Counterattack
◘ Evasion
◘ Vampirism
◘ Defense
◘ Max HP
◘ HP per second
◘ Standard Damage
◘ Damage to All
◘ HP per day [tiles provide this]
◘ Many more + class specific traits too
◘ Crit Chance %
◘ Crit damage %

Eventually, each loop will come to a point where you have almost filled the entire screen. Then, comes the boss {i still need to fight the boss} This will conclude the chapter you're participating in.

Only you can save the world.

Do what is right and support these amazing developers :)

This review will be updated as the game also continues to unfold.

Update #1 :
I just beat chapter one as rogue, after warrior, and chose to upgrade the buildings - Necromancer will be the next class to complete.

Different items on the rogue, make you dual-wield any weapons you find. The main differences being, you need to complete the loop of rogue to get the items, for the next level. It's really fun.
So fun, I said last loop 4x times! on my stream and then won as the rogue -after doubting myself, and lost after that again.

Rogue gets two weapon slots, boots - for evasion, primarily, and the armour.

It's fun playing for resources to get stronger overall. It's fun to try playing different tactics, and honestly, as a jack-of-all-trades kind of person, this game CAN support that, but not too much. You need to focus on a specific statistic that can help you to either avoid damage, or damage everyone, OR< even counter every attack possible - I don't mind doing chapter one over again till I'm good enough to get to chapter two, or you can spam chapter two till you're sick of it.

When you get bored, every time you click Expedition, you CAN also switch out the cards that will drop from enemies, and change literally everything. The maximum cards to go into battle with is 12 - you may not have more, and i think the minimum is 7... :? crazy.

The lightning tower can strike you as a 'random' enemy.

When you place specific land tiles next to other specific ones, you can convert tiles, into different locales - example: changing a village into
Having a 2nd village gives way to Bandit camps - who also generally attack you
There's another type of encampment that are scared of vampires,

You can literally decorate the battlefield with enemies if you feel you're ready for it, or wait, till later, you are not forced to play cards, but you can only hold a maximum of 13 cards in your hand at one time. If you are winning new cards while holding 13 cards, the cards on the left handside will start being discarded to welcome the new ones that you just won.

It's a lot about collecting the same type of stat on all your different items.

I built a building that finally lets met get EXPERIENCE POINTS during the loops! to acquire traits when you level up!!! It's really exciting. It's like fleshing out the game, as you learn more and more --- because... people need their memories back. The gymnasium is a building that turns on the leveling part of RPG's.
Very fun traits - from 1000% damage , to a pet to aid you in 75% of encounters.

Very random, very fun!!
still a few more updates to come!

Necromancer is super cool - Brings skeletons to fight -with attributes like:
◘ Magic HP [which is like a shield before main HP starts being lost]
◘ Summon Quality
◘ Max Skeletons
◘ Skeleton Level
and more of the above from other classes :)

Your skeletons upgrade based on who they are fighting -very cool :D

Item slots includes one magic book [grimoire], two rings, and a neck piece [amulet].

HS: You can upgrade the buildings after initial build too!! [Requires more of the same resources]

Loop Hero is a deck builder. It's also a roguelite. It's a... reverse tower defense strategic builder? Whatever probably correct descriptor you can toss at the game, it's a phenomenal experience. There is a ton of strategy behind the seemingly simple exterior. Place different tiles together for new and different effects. Stack your run with crazy chaining effects that are too good to spoil in a review. Enjoy the fantastic spritework while being serenaded by the great soundtrack.

Loop Hero is an easy recommendation to almost any style of gamer. You can even pause at any time to contemplate your imminent death forever! Most will get 20-40 hours of playtime, but you can find much more if you get addicted to the loops like I have.

Very fun at first, quickly becomes a time-wasting grind.
Loop Hero is stuck, being neither an ARPG (where the grind process is fun), nor an idle game (where the player can automate the process). This is its ultimate weakness.

There are some accessibility options (fonts, color), and an interesting narrative.
It is not a bad game, so I recommend it, but with caution.
