With a demo playable now on Steam
Maybe you’ve heard of Devolver Digital and Four Quarters’Loop Herobut you didn’t want to get too attached until there was a release date. Well, now we’ve got one: the PC game is coming out March 4.
I appreciate that this trailer looks and sounds like it was lifted from a cursed VHS and polished up a bit for 2021. The narration reminds me of moody old video game, toy, and board game commercials.
Loop Herois probably better played than explained – conveniently, there’s aSteam demoright now. A too-brief summary: your adventurer strolls along a path, battling creatures along the way, and you’ll need to deck them out with better gear and make clever use of cards that can be strategically placed on the field. If you’rereallypressed for time, the game’sinteractive websiteoverviews the core loop.
The concept speaks to me as a fan of the more “active” idle games, and I love the whole vibe. The sheer number of genre influences and deeper elements in play here has me feeling pretty optimistic.
