Everything worth knowing.

A detailed, evidence-led view of the product—not a generic sales summary.

Loop Hero for PC is an endless RPG, a run-based RPG roguelite, in which an evil lich (animated dead body) has obliterated reality and everything in it. Your job is to run endlessly: powering up, improving your skills and learning what hazards must be defeated in order for you to enjoy success. Unlike some other roguelikes/ lites, this game manages to remain rewarding even as you die time after time! About the Game The hero awakens in a small camp and has to rebuild his world, a task in which he is sometimes assisted by other survivors – and sometimes hindered by those who think that everything is helpless and attack him in despair or in an effort to effect their own survival! So don’t be too trusting of all the strangers you meet! You set off around the route for the first few times, unsure of what lies ahead, but the more you progress, the more confident you become. Routes are randomly generated – albeit packed with similar enough villains and enemies to battle – so each round is different enough to remain engaging. At the end of each circuit the game produces a boss for the player to battle. If the player wins, successful, the game continues and the player keeps all the loot, upgrades and skills gained in the round. But if the player loses against the boss, he or she stands to lose an eye-watering 70% of their resources, and is forced back to the home base and must start over with their sadly depleted inventory. The Nitty Gritty Inventory management is fully under your control and must be done carefully to keep winning battles, you cycle round through loop after loop, and each placement of features and resources has a knock-on effect on subsequent loops so you have to plan carefully, laying out enough resources to keep winning, but not so many that you make life impos
