    Too shallow. There might be potential in its peculiar mix of genres but Loop hero is not quite there yet.

    Loop Hero sin duda es un juego original y diferente. Plantea unas mecánicas que aparentemente juegan solas buena parte de toda, y la clave es cómo buildeamos al personaje y al entorno, de modo que equilibramos lo que podemos hacer con cuan lejos queremos llegar.

Plantea unas mecánicas que aparentemente juegan solas buena parte de toda, y la clave es cómo buildeamos al personaje y al entorno, de modo que equilibramos lo que podemos hacer con cuan lejos queremos llegar. A medida que avanzamos desbloqueamos nuevas cartas y opciones, así como nuevas clases y boses, y vamos mejorando nuestro pueblo para obtener algunas mejoras permanentes en pasivo. Personalmente, en general, muchas de las mejoras del pueblo resultan menos... impactantes, de lo que podrían haber sido.

    Gráficamente, entiendo que el juego está hecho por un equipo pequeño, pero el aspecto del juego es excesivamente pobre incluso con eso en mente. Y con el sonido ocurre un poco lo mismo, aunque no de modo tan destacado. Finalmente, al menos en mi tiempo jugándolo, no me he encontrado ningún bug.

    Por todo ello, sin duda Loop Hero es un juego divertido, interesante y diferente, pero que no es ni de lejos perfecto. Un 7.    … Expand

    Arka planda açıp video veya dizi izlerken oynamalık oyun. Çok bi olayı yok. Sanat dizaynı güzel ama.

    I feel kind of bad for not liking this game, but after putting 30 hours in, I have to admit, I don't think this game really grabbed me like it grabbed others. The main issue for me is how quickly the game gets repetitive. At 30 hours, it may seem like an obvious complaint that the pixel rouge-like commonly on sale for under 10 dollars gets repetitive, but it was a feeling that started longI feel kind of bad for not liking this game, but after putting 30 hours in, I have to admit, I don't think this game really grabbed me like it grabbed others. The main issue for me is how quickly the game gets repetitive. At 30 hours, it may seem like an obvious complaint that the pixel rouge-like commonly on sale for under 10 dollars gets repetitive, but it was a feeling that started long before the 30 hour mark. There also seems to be an unnecessary amount of meta knowledge on the game in order to accomplish late-game strategies, something that I certainly had been developing after about 10 hours, but eventually I felt the need to read wikis just to progress in the story which is never a good sign to me. Overall, worth the price I paid for entry, but a game that I believe won't live long in my memory nor anyone elses.… Expand

    I really want to like this game but progress is so slow and it's a very repetitive game loop.

    It's ok for what it is, but becomes stale very fast. If it had more variety in all its aspects it would've been a great little game, sadly the way it has been set up now once you figure out the solution you just repeat the same thing over and over.

    Ну, для низкобюджетной инди игры в принципе неплохо. Игра короткая и довольно простая, процесс регулярно повторяется, но в принципе даже и затягивает. Для ПКшки есть и поинтереснее игры, а вот была бы она на телефоне - можно было бы немало часов в электричке на работу скоротать.Ну, для низкобюджетной инди игры в принципе неплохо.

    Extraordinary gameplay idea, amazing style, poor if not very poor execution.

    In the game with focal point on forgetting and acquiring knowledge there's thematically hardly any explanation about any systems, stats and interactions which while fun at first quickly becomes just confusing when you realize that choices which at first seem to progress the gameplay actually hinder your    Extraordinary gameplay idea, amazing style, poor if not very poor execution.

    In the game with focal point on forgetting and acquiring knowledge there's thematically hardly any explanation about any systems, stats and interactions which while fun at first quickly becomes just confusing when you realize that choices which at first seem to progress the gameplay actually hinder your experience. With how quickly the game changes from wasting time on initial loop setup to getting a lot of grindable items to loosing them all quarter a loop later with enemies wildly outscaling the hero - causes the less creative way to play the most optimal .

    That alongside games very grindy nature quickly changes the gameplay from fun to simply tedious.

    While lack of information on how different world tile interaction work may seem appealing to some even after (accidentally) discovering them, the world building system itself - which seems to be at the core of where the "fun f#rom gaining knowledge on the game's systems" is - is actually very skimpy and limited.

    The music has limited selection of tracks but i liked it a lot and somehow didn't get bored of it.

    Overall, it's a fun little game when it isn't frustrating. The novelty is captivating at first and the game worth checking out on a discount, if only to play for the couple of hours while the positive experience from game loop lasts.

    Ps. if you ever write a long post on any site remember to copy it to notepad before pressing submit, it will save a lot of your time...

    Ps2. Omg this site i really falling apart with those 403 forbidden errors...

    Ps3. So apparently as reddit says since like 3 years, the word f#rom makes the site fall apart    … Expand

    This is a really fun, beautiful, and unique game at first, but it becomes an abrasive grind wall experience at Chapter 3.

    Its pretty neat at the start but the game got repetitive quickly and there isn't much to change it up.

    It looks like a simple little game, but give it some time, acquire more cards and it will surprise you with its unfolding complexity and addictiveness. Admittedly, initial loops are boring, but ultimately I spent hours on end with Loop Hero and had tons of fun. [05/2021, p.38]

    When it comes to card games, Loop Hero brings a unique and refreshing take to the table. While initially its format may take some getting used to and its graphics may appear simple, the game’s mechanics pack a surprising punch. With cards generating complex enemies, resources, and terrains, no two playthroughs in Loop Hero will be the same. Through this impressive degree of variety and replayability, Loop Hero offers a unique challenge for card game newbies and veterans alike.

    Loop Hero is a fresh indie success that’s more interested in your time than skills. Maybe you’ll be able to kill hours upon hours in its repetitive loops. And perhaps you’ll lose your patience halfway through.
