Don't come into Loop Hero with expectations simply because you've never really played anything like this before. Whatever those expectations might be, they're probably wrong. But do come into Loop Hero as it embodies so much of what makes games great: storytelling, engaging interactions with a digital world, the rewards of looting, world building, strategy, but most of all that ceaseless desire to just dip in for one more run.

Like the game’s constantly evolving runs, Loop Hero itself is ever-changing. Its developers are already responding to fan feedback and planning on rolling out some much-needed quality of life changes, like the ability to save. While the current version could use some tweaking, there’s no doubt that it’s only going to improve from here.

Regardless of whether or not you enjoy the sound of a “top-down rogue-like deck & dungeon-building auto-battler”, Loop Hero will graciously guide you along its path - only to ensnare you in its devilishly addictive short gameplay loops.

It's extremely compelling and dangerously addictive; you start an expedition, you fight, gain resources, go back to camp, reset. Then you do it again. It's hypnotic. After a while, it feels like nothing else exists outside of the loop, and you're content to stay in it.

Don’t let Loop Hero‘s simple appearance fool you; a dense and addictive game, unlike anything else you’ve played, lurks under its retro veneer, waiting to get its claws into you. And once you’ve fallen into the loop, it’ll be hard to get back out again. Building up your character and creating the world around him is gloriously rewarding, and not even death is going to stand in your way.

Downsides include the frustrations of randomized loot, an occasional grind to getting enough materials for the next camp upgrade, and the fact that by the time the fourth and final chapter rolls around there are few more secrets and combos to discover. Still, the game is a genuine gem, and for $15 at full price, it's worth getting hooked on.

It fulfills a certain niche not just with being a roguelite, but a create your own adventure sort of way while doing so. Most games of the genre have this appeal somewhat by having things like weapon variety and perks; Loop Hero takes it to a whole other level of customization with not only just the classes and weapon types, but the entire terrain is your playground.

Let me admit something up front: I don’t actually like roguelikes. The repetitiveness gets on my nerves, the brutal survival mechanics are not forgiving of my tendency to get distracted while gaming, and the simple graphics do very little to keep me invested. Having said that, I was blown away by Devolver Digital’s latest foray into the genre. Loop Hero is part roguelike, part strategy RPG, part city-builder, all of which rely much too heavily on cards for comfort. It’s a bizarre combination that shouldn’t work half as well as it does, but what really holds the game together is...

Loop Hero is a brilliant piece of work that plays and succeeds with the idea of repeating gameplay loops via gameplay, story and even meta angles. It's an absolute beast that will easily rip players to shreds, but thanks to simple gameplay that makes great use of deck-building, automatic battles and experimentation, it ensures that everyone will have a blast trying to design the best world possible for each run. Throw in a gorgeous presentation that perfectly channels classic early-era RPGs and you easily have what could wind up being one of the year's best games. A fresh twist on...

Loop Hero succeeds as an adventure game by blending together elements of strategy and roguelikes in a way that feels clever and fresh. Giving players agency on the adversaries they encounter, and the frequency of said encounters, is an exciting spin on the genre, and one that forced me to strategize in a unique way. Couple the outstanding mechanics with a gorgeous and well-executed visual design, and you’ve got yourself one satisfying gameplay loop.

If its aesthetics appeal and the gameplay style grabs you, then Loop Hero will take over your gaming life until you finish it or are drag yourself away. It reminded me strangely of the allure of Football Manager but with a more fantasy setting. The combination of auto combat and strategic choices, with resource management and settlement development on top, makes this a unique and captivating indie game.

Thought it seems simplistic at first, it doesn't take long to see the true depth of Loop Hero. Thanks to its very approachable design and killer gameplay hook, this is the kind of addicting and engrossing experience that can steal whole weeks from your life. Just don't say we didn't warn you!

I have to be honest here and say that I totally underestimated Loop Hero. My initial reaction and impression was that it was going to be some mobile styled auto-runner game. While Loop Hero does feature an auto-runner core gameplay loop, it is more like a true to life video game version of a Dungeons & Dragons board game. One where you’re the main player and the dungeon master. It all works very well, even with the simple main “loop” mechanic. Join me on this review campaign named “Th...

Shockingly creative in its fantasy fiction setup and addictive in its largely automated gameplay, Loop Hero is something new and interesting in the realm of RPGs and it does not disappoint. It stops short of being revolutionary though, and its reliance on a tired grind and dull stats is weak in comparison to roguelikes that emphasize trying unique new builds over optimizing existing combos. That gives it a shorter lifespan than many of its contemporaries – but there’s nothing quite like it.
