Loop Hero Free Download Unfitgirl Traditionally, some of the best stuff in an RPG is the combat. The tactical decisions, crunching numbers, the strategizing, conserving strength for future encounters. But what’s left if you take away character control and just about everything but crunching stat numbers and filling in the map? You get Loop Hero, and it turns out to be a game full of compellingly unique ideas and a weird fantasy world that demands attention. There’s nothing quite like this strange combination of idle game autobattler with roguelite deckbuilding and puzzley tile placement. This exploratory experiment drew me in so deeply with its buffet of synergies and clever strategies that I lost track of time while playing more often than not. I only escaped because once its stat-building puzzles are solved there’s not much more to it. Before we even get to its strangely hypnotic and unorthodox gameplay, it has to be said that this is the most excellently surreal apocalyptic fantasy setting since Dark Souls. Loop Hero’s world is ending; nobody can remember things anymore, so those things are disappearing. Even abstract concepts like knowledge and permanence are vanishing into the void. It’s a delightfully unsettling, disorienting place where even the elaborate pixel art portraits of the bad guys aren’t sure what’s going on. Everything is forgotten except, of course, your lone hero, who walks a circular path through the void, fighting monsters and — crucially — remembering things before coming back to a campfire to rest.

You have strange, dreamlike conversations with the people and creatures you meet, from bandits unsure why they’re stealing to goblins who have somehow remembered themselves right into existence. The conversations and unlockable tidbits of lore are wonderfully meandering oddities. This is the most excellently surreal apocalyptic fantasy setting since Dark Souls. The map is represented with charmingly simple pixel graphics for the loop itself, which begins as a featureless, angular path through the lonely darkness. It’s inhabited only by your hero – little more than a 4-bit blob of white pixels – and a handful of bouncing green bubbles representing basic slime blob enemies. The art in fights is more detailed, showing 8-bit warriors slugging it out with basic attack animations, though like a 1990 RPG the sprites don’t vary with changes in weapon or as enemies level up. The correspondingly retro music’s good, too, even if a few tracks play a bit too often for the couple dozen hours Loop Hero will likely take you to play through. In those first few minutes you won’t do much, quite literally, as battles are hands-off. Once you’re in a fight your fate is controlled by your and your enemies’ Attack Speed, Defense, and Damage stats, with a dash of whether or not the percentage chance gods give you more Crits, Counters, and Evades than the other side. This even goes for boss battles: it’s very strictly your stats vs theirs. So for the first few uneventful loops, well, it’s a good time to fill your water glass or grab some snacks in the kitchen.

Refreshingly different and unique

But Loop Hero soon gets you occupied and challenged – and this is where the ability to pause between battles becomes essential. As your hero fights they earn cards representing map tiles among their other loot, and the conceit is that placing these tiles makes the hero “remember” that features like forest groves, mountains, villages, rivers, and more were actually part of the world all along, restoring them to reality. The balancing act is between adding useful tiles and not overwhelming the hero with new enemies. However, along with the benefits that those tiles bring (largely minor things like boosts to attack speed for forests or a town that restores some HP when your hero passes through) come corresponding tradeoffs. Beasts inhabit the woods, vampires come down from their castles, skeletons roam the graveyards, fishmen emerge from rivers, and gargoyles fly in and land just about anywhere. I found the balancing act between adding useful tiles and not overwhelming my hero with new enemies to be one of the best challenges in Loop Hero. Watching the map go from blank slate to overwhelming collage is a rewarding sense of progression that at least somewhat makes up for the lack of customization in your character. That said, the muted palette isn’t going to be to everyone’s tastes, nor is the chunky pixel font all of the text and stats appear in. (Which you can change, thankfully, to something easier on the eyes or dyslexic friendly.) God of War

The loot that drops in battle is a big part of what keeps you busy: while it’s fairly robotic early on, you soon have to stop and think about which stats are best for your class.  Does your Warrior want to buff his automatic health regen or his vampirism to gain health with every strike? What stats will your Necromancer sacrifice for the ability to summon an additional skeleton into their posse of the dead? You’re often swapping out one sword or magic ring for a shiny new one, but this is where Loop Hero leans too hard into randomness: If you don’t get the weapon drop you need for a couple of loops you’re just out of luck as your damage doesn’t keep up. I never once got a piece of gear so cool that it made me change the plan I had going in and build around it. That, and the only thing about loot is stats, stats, and more stats. There are six to eight for each of the three classes, and that severely hurts replayability, even when you look at the special abilities a class gets on levelling up, because you can’t rely on any one stat to show up in the constantly-moving treadmill of random gear. I never once got a piece of gear so cool that it made me change the plan I had going in and build around it. Your biggest angle of customization is in Loop Hero’s roguelite-style progression between expeditions when you choose which of your unlocked map tiles you bring in your deck, and how those tiles relate to each other by synergizing into new forms. For instance, a three-by-three cluster of nine mountains transforms into a huge peak, and a town will give you more health if it has wheat fields adjacent.

Easy to understand, difficult to master

Because you have so little control over your actual hero, much of mastering Loop Hero is about searching out these bonuses, deciphering the way that they could benefit you, and figuring out the optimal combination of terrain for each of the three hero classes. It is a remarkably simple set of rules, and that’s a big part of what’s good about Loop Hero. Place tiles, equip gear, get loot, go to camp, repeat. At the same time, that simplicity wore on me when I binged for hours at a time: there’s a certain amount of grind you have to do in order to progress. I did expeditions fairly often not with the goal of fighting and defeating the boss, but just to repeat the same combos a few times and gain resources so I could retreat and purchase a critical upgrade back home. That just feels anticlimactic and low-stakes. It is a remarkably simple set of rules, and that’s a big part of what’s good about Loop Hero. Each time the loop takes your hero to the campfire you can retreat back to your camp with all of your gathered resources (as opposed to a mid-loop retreat or death, which leaves you only a fraction of your haul.) You build up the camp over time, adding new buildings and people. This gives you the little incremental upgrades you need to progress and beat the boss of each act. You might carry a farmer’s scythe to get more food from the fields you pass, a silver necklace to reduce damage from vampires, or build potion racks so you can bring more healing with you on the journey. Grand Theft Auto IV GTA

(Also, though the developers have promised a fix for this soon, you cannot currently save your progress mid-expedition – quitting out and restarting puts you back in your town as though the run had never happened.)The thing is, when I call those upgrades incremental I really mean it. They’re simple, straightforward and, frankly, bland. You get more health, more damage, more attack speed. They don’t shake up how you play other than unlocking the two additional classes, which happens early on. Loop Hero’s biggest fault is that aside from the scale of the fiction and the ingenuity of the base concept it’s not ambitious or creative in the details of its design. It doesn’t provide variety or shake things up often enough to avoid becoming stale. There are clear optimal ways to build your character – and after you stumble on them there’s very little incentive to try anything else. Loop Hero is a game I never expected to get into. Simple graphics flitting in quality between the Atari 2600 and the Nintendo Entertainment System, procedurally generated maps, card-based events, non-interactive battles — it was a combination of trends in gaming I’m not normally there for. But still, I was curious how these things interconnected, and I’m here right now to tell you I’m happy I did. Loop Hero is an endless RPG with old-school aesthetics developed by Russian studio Four Quarters and published by Devolver Digital. In this game, you play as a nameless brave hero who’s found that everything is just gone.

Tactical Diversity

I don’t mean just belongings and home. I’m talking the world, sky included. It’s a dark void where they can barely see more than a few feet away. The hero encounters a slime and upon defeating it gets a bit of memory back from the world before the literal blackout. This memory comes in the form of a card, allowing the hero to place that memory somewhere, turning the blank road ahead into a grassy glade. Thus starts your journey. It’s a pretty simple story that lends itself to literally letting your mind (and controller) fill in the plot holes with full-on plots of land. You eventually meet characters, unlock new abilities, and occasionally juggle with the fact that as you restore the world you’re also bringing the bad along with the good. It’s the gameplay loop that truly got me, though. It’s a ridiculously satisfying grind that left me 100% addicted. You start the game as a basic warrior but unlock additional classes over time, each with their own perks and attack style. You then head out on an expedition wherein a looped path is randomly drawn out on your screen with a simple path and the occasional slime. As you make your way around the loop, fighting slimes will bring back memories of things like glades and cemeteries and mountains. These come as cards that you place on the map. Everything has a purpose. A background field of grass in the distance may seem boring but for every square of grass, you get 2HP back when you complete a loop, or 3HP if you place it near rocks or mountains. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

The rocks and mountains, increase your max HP. And when placed in a 3×3 grid of just those, they become a large mountain which not only gives you a huge health boost but also spawns harpies every so often that drop better loot. Every time you go around the loop you unlock more things from fighting different enemies and the enemy level rises. Luckily your stats also rise as you equip better loot. So while your loop might start off like this: My path of nothingness and slimes was now filled with ruins inhabited by fireworms, villages that grant small quests, cornfields that hide murderous scarecrows, and a wooded area that features deadly rats, sentient vines, and the occasional undead giant. That leads to the next bit of the game. You decide when you want to leave. The main part of the expeditions is to gather supplies that you can use to rebuild your survivor’s camp and build on new resources like kitchens and smithies. You can leave at any point and take 30 percent of your gathered resources with you. Or if you leave from your initial campfire — if you’re thinking of it as a board game, it’s the start square — you get to bring back 100 percent of your gathered materials. So it becomes a gamble of whether or not you think you can survive long enough to get back to the campfire and whether or not you think you can go another round, knowing that the next loop will be harder. Also, bear in mind you don’t keep weapons, armors, and other items you equip, so next time you start out you have practically nothing.

The new loop is back to being a bare path with slimes and the cycle starts anew. And yet, with all this going on, there’s a sense of progression as you build up your camp and unlock new cards for your deck. Maybe you want to take out the ability for enemies to occasionally drop a card that allows you to place a vampire’s mansion on your board and replace it with the ability to add a blood grove, which sends out vines that kill anything who’s health dips below 15 percent . It’s up to you. Loop Hero is this strange anomaly in which a studio has taken some of the most basic ingredients and prepared them in a way that creates a masterful recipe. This game went from something I was honestly ready to not get into to something that has caused me to neglect my Animal Crossing town for a few days on end. My only complaint is that with the game having such a bare-bones graphic style, I would have loved to see more visual changes in the battle screens and such. Give me the option to graphically pick what color I want the groves and towns to be. Or let me customize my hero a little bit. This game is endless and I’d like to add a bit more personality. But, honestly, that’s such a minor gripe compared to how satisfying the game is.
