Loop Hero is breaking out on Steam

Loop Hero is an absolute delight - a genre-bending mashup of RPG games, strategy games, card games, roguelikes, and... idle games? It's tough to describe in a single sentence, but its addictive, er, loop struck a chord with players thanks to a substantial demo, and it's turning into a major indie breakout on Steam.

Just 24 hours after release, developer Four Quarters announced that Loop Hero had already pulled in over 150,000 players. It's currently hovering at the number two spot on Steam's top seller list, just behind the impossibly-popular Valheim. The game's reached 38,764 concurrent players, as SteamDB shows, which puts it among the platform's most popular games - right between the likes of Civ 6 and Path of Exile.

It's easy to see why, too. Loop Hero has you placing both the monsters and rewards that await a little RPG hero who moves all on his own along a short loop. Each loop gets progressively more harrowing as you go, promising better treasures from more dangerous monsters the further you go - and you're in control of the whole dungeon.

Loop Hero review - DnD Déjà vu

One of the big challenges of running a Dungeons & Dragons campaign is figuring out how much you need to push back against your players. How hard should each encounter be? How many hobgoblins do you need to position outside the village to make the encounter feel dangerous, without punishing your friends? In Loop Hero, those are the kinds of decisions you'll make as you watch your little pixel protagonist walk a lonely trail, suspended in the inky black remains of a destroyed universe.

Each run in Loop hero begins at a campfire set on a desolate loop of road, and your hero begins each journey with nothing. Each time you slay a beast or monster on the path, you have a chance to pick up cards or gear. Gear can be equipped, conferring stat bonuses like attack speed and evasion, while cards are used to add complexity to the circuit itself, adding new monster spawners and passive buffs.

Cards come in two main varieties. Terrain cards, like mountains and deserts, add incremental bonuses to your run - mountains boost your defence, while each desert tile subtracts a percentage point from your enemy's health. These can synergise in surprising ways, and finding these interactions is one of the early delights of Loop Hero.
