best description ive heard on Loop Hero came from Day 9: "It's a game about creating problems for your hero to answer."

I'm 18 hours in. Time is a flat circle. Must build. Must fight. Must survive.

I feel like this game is basically using the same features as an idle/clicker game to psychologically trick you to get addicted to it

I kept hearing Yahtzee's voice in my: FOCUS. ON. THE. PRIMARY. GAMEPLAY. LOOP.

I had seen some images from the steam store of this game and I immedieately closed it because it didn't look like something I would like, but she's really selling it (plus with the review the gameplay pattern is more clear). Might get it at one point.

After playing it for 8 hours, I must say I'm not a fan actually. The persistent progression between runs turns it into a huge resource grind, rather than a challenge of learning mechanics and figuring out the best strategies. It just made me want to speed through each run as fast as possible without paying too much attention. I'd have been much happier if it didn't have the camp upgrades.

Amazing review. I've spent 100+ hours on Pixel Dungeon, Crypt of the Necromancer and other similar games. This looks like a fresh take on the formula.

This game is so addicting! I hope it continues to get support from the developers post release

The people who disliked this review were out of the "loop"

[Lexyvil]

I remember playing this from the Ludum Dare jam in its early state, and even that I enjoyed a lot. Seeing it became a full lengthy game is awesome, and will definitely get it~

[delatroy]

Lobe the gritty art style. Nice to see good games that focus on gameplay for a change

[tras]

the people that disliked are the ones that lost their job due to this game

[SakuraGraffiti]

This review put it right to the point or why I should get this title. I was interested but the trailers confused me about what the actual gameplay is. Thank you!

[samueloster]

2:03 can we talk about Caleb Widogast ? What on the Nein Hells is he doing here ?

[ericwillis]

Finally a review that's not 15 minutes long ...

[RoodyOh]

I'm struggling to get this or Everhood. Both are pretty unique!

[PeterMilko]

Please review Dwerve, it will release soon :)

[EthansSpace]

I’ve only done a couple runs but I’m in love

[TheCreepypro]

glad I saw this review since before it I didn't really want to play it but now I definitely do
