Loop Hero for Windows

Loop Hero – This game, released on March 4, 2021, is a tribute to the PC games of the 1990s. Its visual and audio ambience is completely vintage and can also be played on a computer purchased after 2000.

This easy-to-learn rogue-lite game does not offer an open world. On the contrary, it locks the character into a loop so that it can be repeated over and over again. Play … patience.

Loop Hero Review

With the same success, you can immediately warn: if by nature you are not patient, pass by! Loop Hero is not for you. Developed by Four Quarters and published by Devolver Digital, your little character is doomed to travel the same path over and over again in this game.

Your character wakes up in an apocalyptic world, along a noose path. Then he will aimlessly move along this road and will automatically collide with monsters that appear on the way. The monsters will multiply and the character will die. But after death, he wakes up in a temporary camp, where he meets other survivors. He learns that he will have to restore the world destroyed by a strange cataclysm, and that he must return to be killed by monsters!

Thus, the mechanics of the game are very simple: you have to repeat the same levels over and over to kill monsters, collect materials and improve your base camp, which will bring bonuses. Over time, you will surely die, but you will also prepare to defeat the bosses that get in your way.

Unlike most rogue-lites, Loop Hero doesn’t require any special skills or technique to win these repetitive battles. The hero automatically advances along his path and fights enemies without even pressing a key! Your role is more like a strategist who must constantly look at the screen and supply his hero with the best parts of his inventory. You will also need to choose where to place the cards on the playing field in order to make the most of their effects.

Thus, Loop hero is not just an action game, but a strategic task. This little-played game also matches role-playing simulations like Cookie Clicker (released 2013).

In the rogue-lite category, Loop Hero stands out for a time loop in which the character gets stuck. Each death is only the beginning of a new cycle and a stage in a long journey. Some players will quickly get tired of the monotony of the game. The rest will fall into a loop, a nightmarish and playful version of Groundhog Day.
