    Good-
    Some of the levels are gorgeous. Combat is decently varied and fun
    Bad- Forgettable story, setting, and characters. Generic music. Levels have a very inconsistent fun-factor. Redundant enemy types. Thoughts- Overall, Loopmancer gets enough right to be a compelling package for some rogue-like enthusiasts, particularly those that devour everything the genre spits out. The    Good-

    Thoughts-
    Overall, Loopmancer gets enough right to be a compelling package for some rogue-like enthusiasts, particularly those that devour everything the genre spits out. The action is fun and varied and the levels mix things up just enough to make replaying them avoid feeling like a slog most of the time. Had the levels felt more fundamentally different in subsequent runs or the designs of each stage been more consistently unique from one another, that could have really made me forget about the story, setting, and characters being almost impossible to care about. But as it is, it feels more like a good rogue-like that just holds itself back a bit and ultimately doesn’t quite stand toe-to-toe with the scads of better examples of the genre we’ve gotten over the last few years.    … Expand

    I liked it, good combat, gadgets, abilities and graphics, perhaps it just needs a couple of patches, speed/reaction for example, when defending is kinda slower but you get used to it. Soundtrack/music is kinda off and the storyline is alright, not bad not too good. Id say 7/10 metroidvania, gets the job done.

    Very fun to play, the fast combat leave me a deep impression.The levels changes every time you play, and the hundreds of variable weapons make the loops satisfying

    It's hard to say that Loopmancer has brought any innovation to the roguelike genre, but it tries its best. The branching and decision-making parts of the story are pretty good, but there are lots of places where it falls short in terms of narration.

    The rogue-lite gameplay and the use of time loops make Loopmancer a game you can't get enough of. With a cyberpunk theme, it also contains elements that resonate with Chinese players. It offers more than 10 hours of great action game experience.

    Loopmancer has all the hallmarks for a phenomenal game, but is just let down by some mechanical issues and a middling story. It’s stellar visual design will reel you into its Cyberpunk world and its fast-paced combat will hook you into trying out even more outlandish varieties of weapons. Unlike most dystopian cities, the rot only occurs at the top and in patches, leaving a healthy and exciting core to explore for a few loops. Just don’t look at the faces, even Dredd couldn’t make them any more hideous.
