    Loot Rascals is a frustrating time, no matter how lucky your RNG game is. Its simple, easy to understand systems are always working against you. Whensoever you do get an upper hand, it feels like cheating as there’s always something around the corner to put you in your place. But the rush you feel when you escape with one health, enough turns to make it back to the healing station, andLoot Rascals is a frustrating time, no matter how lucky your RNG game is. Its simple, easy to understand systems are always working against you. Whensoever you do get an upper hand, it feels like cheating as there’s always something around the corner to put you in your place. But the rush you feel when you escape with one health, enough turns to make it back to the healing station, and just enough junk cards to burn to pour a few tokens into increasing your turn meter to have a few more chances ... it’s almost unrivaled!

    It will keep you coming back for more punishment and more futile experimentation. After you swear you’ve had enough, everything will somehow click on your “last run” and you’ll feel you’ve finally mastered the alien rascals. And after the credits roll and you’ve gotten a few laughs out of the way, you’ll start up another run to relive the cycle of punishment all over again. And it will be worth it.

    Loot Rascals isn’t perfect, and its maddening difficulty isn’t for everyone, but it’s as rewarding and fulfilling as the very best roguelikes. Even if you never find success, the quintessentially British humor and lovely art will be enough reward in my opinion.    … Expand

    Everything feels brand new, well balanced, and novel when packaged together so cohesively.

    There are obscene levels of charm here. [Apr 2017, p.95]

    It is a digital combination of an extremely difficult board game and deck builder, combined with some zany creatures and topped off with some insane levels of difficulty. Perhaps it is the requirement of balance that made me love a game with such randomness behind it, as balancing my turns or the cards made me feel powerful in a world of beautiful chaos. I think Loot Rascals actually taught me something, which isn't something I say often about video games.
