Loop Hero

"I didn't know what to expect from the gameplay, but once I found out, it's essentially like a randomized map—a game board for tabletop. Your character automatically walks around the board, encountering enemies while the transitions between day and night occur. At first, I was indifferent, but then I started to appreciate the artwork of the characters, which strongly resembles the animation style of 'The Hobbit' animated movie. Their interactions with each other add depth, and the 8-bit midi soundtrack adds to the experience. The combat system is entirely automatic, and you obtain weapons and armor from killing enemies. These items go into your inventory, which has about 15 spaces. Once it fills up, the bottom right corner of your inventory starts to get vented to make space for new items, with new additions appearing at the top left corner. If you change your weapons or armor, the previous ones are gone for good. Additionally, there's a town-building aspect to the game. When you die, you're taken back to a makeshift town where the only survivors left in the world reside. You can gradually build this town using resources collected throughout your deaths. Overall, it's a fantastic game and definitely worth the money."
