I don't think I'll ever bother to finish Loop Hero, and I don't think its particular gameplay fits me. Still, it's


that I think few people will regret playing even just a little bit, a gem that reminds me of the beauty of the medium, and a metaphorical flower that makes the world a richer place just by existing.

One of the most fun and relaxing Games to play on the Go or while doing other stuff. Could play it on Loop! Hah.

As cards from a fading deck, wake up in a fragmented world with no memory or understanding of the erasure of your reality. Loop hero, developed by Four Quarters and released in 2021, is a rogue like deckbuilding game. The game starts presenting the main mechanic, the lack of direct control over your character.

As other roguelikes, losing runs is not only part of learning the interactions between items, but also unlocking new cards that will further increase the complexity of interactions and synergies. Speaking of which, a good portion of the learning curve is the control of what enemies will spawn in the map you create, what items better suit fighting those enemies, and what environmental cards would better suit the previous combination.

Behind the initially simple appearance, this game hides a myriad of interactions that can both help and hinder the player. The game can be divided into 2 main sections, the expeditions where the random maps are generated, along with enemies and resources to be gathered, and the camp, where those resources can be used to build different structures to enhance specific traits of the character, give new abilities and even provide some help. You can also learn more about the world, enemies, and resources.

With all the previously mentioned complexity is complemented by beautiful graphics, an incredibly relaxed and flexible playstyle, and customization options that range from graphical to game speed. Considering all this game offers, I highly recommend Loop Hero.
