Description
The Lich has thrown the world into a timeless loop and plunged its inhabitants into never ending chaos. Wield an expanding deck of mystical cards to place enemies, buildings, and terrain along each unique expedition loop for the brave hero. 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. Unlock new classes, new cards, and devious guardians on your quest to shatter the endless cycle of despair.

Infinite Adventure: Select from unlockable character classes and deck cards before setting out on each expedition along a randomly generated loop path. No expedition is ever the same as the ones before it.

Plan Your Struggle: Strategically place building, terrain, and enemy cards along each loop to create your own dangerous path. Find balance between the cards to increase your chances of survival while recovering valuable loot and resources for your camp.

Loot and Upgrade: Strike down menacing creatures, recover stronger loot to equip on the fly and unlock new perks along the way.

Expand Your Camp: Turn hard-earned resources into campsite upgrades and gain valuable reinforcements with each completed loop along the expedition path.

Save the Lost World: Overcome a series of unholy guardian bosses over a grand saga to save the world and break the time loop of the Lich!

Didn't expect this to be good :)

I have a taste for retro style graphics games and some game with loot gathering. So far this game got it and I'm hooked. Its really feels nice to unlock some new capabilities and some characters without extra payment which some games do abuse nowadays. It price doesn't break your wallet and you'll play this for a while. Good buy.

Wasn't sure about this one... but...

Loop hero is an excellent game. It is difficult to explain how the game works as you are not in control of the hero but rath you are in control of building out the board around the hero and choosing his equipment. The game begins sow but the action build us every time your hero completes a lap of the main "loop." Each outting feels like a strange combination of inverted tower defense within a board game. After the first two or three runs the concept becomes clear and everything just clicks. Its a wonderfull game "loop" and I have no idea how they anage to make these disparate elements mesh but it really works well. The music is fantastic and the art is really well done but the icing on the cake is the surreal storyline and trippy characters especially the main villian.

Enjoyable

I am a huge fan of olds school. This obviously checks that box. I have played for 4 hours and I am impressed with the story so far. I like the challenge.

I like it

There's about 60 hours of content, after which you can keep going but you'll be making your own fun grinding for certain loot to do meme runs and doing runs with your own restrictions. There's a few things I'd tweak but it's a good base, if they release DLC in a year or so to flesh out synergies and maybe add a more replayable game mode or another mechanic it could easily be a 200+ hour plus rogue lite.

Dumb, grindy, and pointless

The gameplay is dumb and grindy. The entire exercise is pointless. Every time there is some dialogue it goes much, much longer than it should. But if you like trash like this, I suppose it is good.
