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.

Can't find a way out
I wish I knew how to stop playing Loop Hero. But there is no Quit button. There is only the loop. There is no sleep. There is only the loop. There is no life... there is only... the loop.

The Best Kind of Grind
This game took me off guard. I literally went into it because I saw retro graphics and read something about deck building in the description, so I figured it could be my type of game... and it was on sale. So... a no brainer, right? Dang. The music, the graphics... They're just the tip of the ice-burg. They're beautiful, and lend perfectly to the dark fantasy atmosphere that the story portrays. Then it goes and mixes genres in the best of ways... I'm still blown away at its execution: Story (No spoilers)- The world is destroyed, but you're not. Go find out why by exploring the world, which practically disappears every time you return to camp. Strategy- You have a "deck" of available cards for each run. These are your landmarks to place in the world for every new loop. Each landmark carries with it either an advantage to you're character, a hindrance to your character, or both. And there's usually consequences for placing too many of the "advantage only" landmarks. RPG- As you defeat monsters you get loot... either the cards i mentioned or equipment to suit up your character. With each loop you're character gets stronger with new equipment, and the monsters get more difficult. Rogue-Lite- You're character will either die or retreat back to camp after each run. Upgrade you're camp, if you can, to gain perks for you're future runs. The loop is randomized and you're back to square one. Board-Game feel- You're character runs around a loop automatically, though you can pause time when you want to place your landmarks or upgrade equipment. The fights are all automatic, and you're character depends on his equipment to improve his attack time, health, health-regeneration, vampirism, etc... The more you progress, the more you build your camp. The more you build your camp the more you can progress the story. (This includes unlocking new classes!) Be prepared for that "just one more run!" urge to grab you and never let you go. I love this game, it's money well spent.

Linux version broken on modern systems
The game requires a libldap library at a version of 2.4 to run. I have a version at 2.6. This library should be bundled with the game, but it isn't, so when I try to run the game, I get: ./Loop_Hero: error while loading shared libraries: libldap_r-2.4.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory So, I can't play the game using the native Linux binary. The game is good, though. When you're able to play it.
