These are punctuated with old style animated character portraits that give the cast life and personality. There are interstitial conversations that occur within certain events such as a new enemy appearing. The artwork here is reminiscent of the 8-bit/16-bit era with the tile placement looking like the old Command & Conquer maps. Fight your way through the void, rebuilding the world and defeating the Lich demons responsible for the void. The unnamed hero enters with a very brief memory and the ability to rebuild the world (though every time he goes to town it all resets in the void anyways.) This is where you come in. People who are trapped by the void lose all memories, drifting into nothingness. The last planet left is Earth and it’s in the process of being swallowed up. A darkness has engulfed everything, taking over and creating a deep void. Loop Hero’s introduction brings a brief info dump of the universe at large.

When you’ve got a bag packed full of resources and are staring down a path full of enemies, it’s a debate on whether to continue or not.
Building up the shops equates to better loot drops, health potions, and new combat maneuvers. These are used to return back to the town and rebuild. The real threat is that you can lose the resources you’ve spent so much time collecting in your run.
These confrontations play out like any other enemy but are more tense, as they hit harder and take more damage.
Once it’s filled the boss is revealed on the path. The boss encounters are triggered by placing enough cards to fill the world building meter. It’s a balancing act that Loop Hero threads nicely. It’s easy to spawn too many forest tiles and be swarmed by spiders, but there’s also the risk of only spawning resource tiles and reaching the end of the stage’s final boss with poor gear options. This increases difficulty but also rewards better loot, so it pays to keep the difficulty ramping up without overwhelming yourself. Other locales like cemeteries, or mansions add more spawning enemies to the board. Proper placement rewards better resources but isn’t always possible. will get you resources to be used later depending on placement. These cards are placed on the map within the loop or on outside segments. Screenshot: Loop Heroīattles also reward cards that have different world pieces such as woods, mountains, cemeteries and dozens of others. Each full loop gets you more health and a reset of enemies while a day/night cycle also plays into regenerating health and enemies. Combining and upgrading is important, as enemy difficulty and spawn rate will increase the longer you circle the path. Loot is gathered via combat, with weapons and armor bringing stats, like increased defense or traits such as health regeneration. With everything automatically happening, the real interactivity comes in the form of looting and world building. Otherwise your character continues to walk–but when encountering enemies, Loop Hero turns into an RPG style turned based fight. The idle nature of gameplay and resource gathering mechanics make for an engaging surprise hit.Īs the hero, you’ll be walking an endless loop-like path on autopilot, with the ability to pause the action at any given time. In Loop Hero, you’ll play as a hero tasked with rebuilding and restoring the memories of a world thrown into darkness by the evil Lich. Rarely has there been such a passive gameplay experience with as prolific a story as Loop Hero, the newest indie gem from Four Quarters and Devolver Digital.
