Things get interesting when you factor in that Loop part of the title. Loop Hero has your avatar running in circles until you retreat, or you die. Every rotation makes the dungeon slightly harder, so you can’t just wander around forever. Powering up is a necessity, and thankfully, the game has you covered. Placing a grove in your dungeon will result in fairly weak, but fast Rat Wolves spawning, whereas a graveyard will spawn tough, hard-hitting, but slow Skeletons. Not all cards are bad, such as mountains, which increase your character’s Max Health, or Villages that heal you. If it sounds simple, it’s because it is – at a glance. So what is Loop Hero? Well, it’s all about building what is essentially a dungeon for your dude to fight through. Every card in your deck is a piece of the dungeon you can place to make your journey harder, easier, or weirder. Every card is unique, which means every deck will give you a slightly different experience based on its make-up.
Loop hero builds series#
Unlike a regular Deck Builder, you aren’t crafting a complex series of combos and interactions purely to kill gribblies and grab gubbins. No, Loop Hero wants you to build a deck that kills you – but kills you slow enough that you can stifle the health loss over a long period, and then conquer it. Loop Hero is, at its heart, a Deck Builder. Similar in principle to a game like One Step From Eden or Slay The Spire. Heck, Dominion if you are properly old school. Before you head off on an expedition, you fiddle around with your cards and create the perfect 7-12 card deck and try and craft perfection. Oh, it’s also a Roguelite.
Not in the sense that I didn’t like it for the first 10+ hours, or that the game was bad. Just that I didn’t know how I felt about the game – at all – and honestly, I still don’t know how I feel as I write this off the cuff review. One thing I do know, however, is that I kept coming back to it, and I couldn’t put the damn thing down. I am quite the opinionated fellow, and I tend to see the world with a black and white filter. This makes writing reviews pretty damn easy because I know what I like, and I know what I don’t. Loop Hero alluded me for many, many hours. Review based off of experience playing Loop Hero on a Nintendo Switch.
