Evillishly simple + Addicting

Loop Hero
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!

Critics reviews

83/100
The spirit of early-'90s fantasy games, cleverly revived in an original and digestible form.

8.5/10
This is a fun and intriguing genre mashup, placing the player in a management role instead of controlling the swing-to-swing minutia of combat

8/10
Loop Hero's cleverly stripped-down RPG concept demands attention for as long as it takes you to work out the clear "best" way to guide each hero class, and its fantastically dark story setup stands out as one of the best in years.

Interesting concept with potential
Let's start with the flaws: - The game is ugly. There is no way around it, but if you've seen the trailer you know what to expect. After disabling CRT mode and enabling high resolution fonts it gets a bit better, but still not great. - You can't save during an expedition. Turning the game off immediately ends the current expedition. This should be fixed - if you can pause, why not pause between game starts? - You need a mouse to play the game. It would be nice to have a "confirm before placing objects" option, but until then use a mouse or be prepared for disappointment on misclicks. This should be an easy fix That's it for flaws. I will be happy to increase the rating when the two mentioned issues are fixed. The rest of the game is intriguing, but hard. I'm writing the review after playing for 4 hours and still not managing to beat the first boss, and I'm going back to playing. The music grew on me as I played, the story is intriguing and I'm looking forward to the rest of the game.

Required...
...if you seek Lööps, Brother! Otherwise this game is pretty rad, but the community on steam is shit, except for Jean, who has written a pretty comprehensive guide while this was still in demo.

Makes my eyes bleed
I played the demo. I am unable to play the game for more than 5 minutes. The graphics are so bad, it's not even "retro", it's almost EGA compatible. So if you have an old 386 lying around ...
