Mountains increased by max HP by a certain percent and gave me rocks when placed, while meadows awarded me with small amounts of healing at the start of each day and awarded me with food when placed. For example, early on two cards I got were mountains and meadows. Most cards do a variety of actions, and a lot of the fun of the game is figuring out how the cards play together. Each card represents a different area that can either be put on or off of the path the hero walks. As you kill monsters you’ll collect equipment, resources, and most importantly, cards. If that’s all there was to Loop Hero then there wouldn’t be much to say. The whole time there’s a fantastic graphical style that both hearkens back to to classic RPGs while still feeling unique and modern. You don’t directly participate in any of this, but you get to watch your little character punch enemies to death. Eventually they run into the monsters, which starts combat. Your character will start to automatically walk the path, and monsters will show up. You’ll start at a campfire and a path will generate. The end result is creating lines that I had to read a few times to figure out what they were trying to say.Įvery level starts the same. The game has a bad habit of poor grammar and strange word choices. Alas, one of my only major issues with Loop Hero comes here. It’s an interesting concept, and one I’d love to see explored. Yes he may grab some forests, but also the undead. So sure he’s bringing back villages, but also bandits to raid them. Soon he discovers that his memories reshape the world, both the good and the bad. However he wakes up in a dark place with only a path in front of him. Loop Hero starts off with an unnamed hero trying to, and failing, in stopping the world from being destroyed by a cosmic threat. Thankfully, there’s plenty of game here, and Loop Hero will continue to be my obsession for the next few months at least. When I tried out the game I knew I was immediately hooked. Even better, I didn’t know an idle game could match together horror aesthetics, roguelite gameplay, and deckbuilding in such a fantastic way. I didn’t know how much I needed a new idle game in my life until I got my hands on Loop Hero. Loop Hero Review – Dying Over and Over and Over and…
