So for the first few uneventful loops, well, it's a good time to fill your water glass or grab some snacks in the kitchen.īut Loop Hero soon gets you occupied and challenged – and this is where the ability to pause between battles becomes essential. This even goes for boss battles: it’s very strictly your stats vs theirs. Once you're in a fight your fate is controlled by your and your enemies' Attack Speed, Defense, and Damage stats, with a dash of whether or not the percentage chance gods give you more Crits, Counters, and Evades than the other side. In those first few minutes you won't do much, quite literally, as battles are hands-off. The correspondingly retro music's good, too, even if a few tracks play a bit too often for the couple dozen hours Loop Hero will likely take you to play through. The art in fights is more detailed, showing 8-bit warriors slugging it out with basic attack animations, though like a 1990 RPG the sprites don't vary with changes in weapon or as enemies level up. It’s inhabited only by your hero – little more than a 4-bit blob of white pixels – and a handful of bouncing green bubbles representing basic slime blob enemies. This is the most excellently surreal apocalyptic fantasy setting since Dark Souls.The map is represented with charmingly simple pixel graphics for the loop itself, which begins as a featureless, angular path through the lonely darkness. The conversations and unlockable tidbits of lore are wonderfully meandering oddities. You have strange, dreamlike conversations with the people and creatures you meet, from bandits unsure why they're stealing to goblins who have somehow remembered themselves right into existence. Loot and Upgrade: Strike down menacing creatures, recover stronger loot to equip on the fly and unlock new perks along the way.Įxpand Your Camp: Turn hard-earned resources into campsite upgrades and gain valuable reinforcements with each completed loop along the expedition path.Everything is forgotten except, of course, your lone hero, who walks a circular path through the void, fighting monsters and - crucially - remembering things before coming back to a campfire to rest. Find balance between the cards to increase your chances of survival while recovering valuable loot and resources for your camp. Plan Your Struggle: Strategically place building, terrain, and enemy cards along each loop to create your own dangerous path. No expedition is ever the same as the ones before it. Infinite Adventure: Select from unlockable character classes and deck cards before setting out on each expedition along a randomly generated loop path. Unlock new classes, new cards, and devious guardians on your quest to shatter the endless cycle of despair. Recover and equip powerful loot for each class of hero for their battles and expand the survivors' camp to reinforce each adventure through the loop. Wield an expanding deck of mystical cards to place enemies, buildings, and terrain along each unique expedition loop for the brave hero. The Lich has thrown the world into a timeless loop and plunged its inhabitants into never ending chaos.
