Loop Hero Reviews

I have been waiting for this game to come out just to try and I have to say I’m disappointed that it’s JUST A TRIAL. So dissatisfied I deleted the game right away. It’d be different if it was clearly stated that this was a trial game which it is not.

Doesn’t say anything about a price until you download and open it. Then you find out it’s just a trial and they want you to pay.

Edit: You can say all you want developers but it’s still extremely misleading. I was familiar with the game so I didnt bother reading the description nor did many others. You should have put (trial) in the title or something. I will be removing this game from my steam wishlist as well because of this.

Is it a good game? Maybe ,it is addictive but it’s absolutely not worth the price tag ,honestly it’s not even worth half the price ,there are free games way better than this

I want to give it 5 stars so badly, but as of the past day or two, LoopHero is unresponsive, at first, it would happen mid game, so the game would keep going but I wouldn’t be able to control anything, but now I can’t get past the main screen. I’m only writing this to bring attention to this issue in case it has not yet been detected, hope I can update it and keep playing soon!! Thanks for a great game!

The game is ok, basically not bad and not good, average. Art style is extremely basic but it works and I actually kind of dig it. The gameplay loop is where things get stale. There’s just not enough to keep it interesting long term. Need more mobs, more buildings, more interesting equipment. I’ll check back in a few months to see how the things went. 2.5/5 as is.

Some of the text is extremely hard to read, especially if you turn on the larger text settings.

Various UI elements are in weird places and can’t be moved, cards can be accidentally dropped at the bottom of the screen if you don’t drag them all the way back to the row back in your hand (and even then it won’t work).

Vague descriptions on items make for a quite confusing start, forcing you to look it up on google even after you unlock the encyclopedia (which again you’ll need to read the tiny text through.

Still a very fun game and the devs did a good job getting it to mobile, there’s just some room for QoL improvements.

Loop Hero is inventing a genre, the way Slay The Spire created roguelite deck builders. Perhaps not the first, but first to get it right. It doesn’t seem like much at first, but give it some time. As you build out your base and learn how to strategically place your map tiles, the game comes alive. The description says you don’t control combat—but by your gear selections and how you arrange the path, you absolutely do. 5 Stars for gameplay, 4 for graphics which I hope are better on a sequel, but turn on the pixel shader, it helps a lot. This is a unique, well designed game I will be playing for a long time.

Overall it’s an absolutely amazing game that you should definitely play. The only reason I give it 4 instead of 5 stars: the rng can sometimes really really really screw your run, which is completely understandable in these types of games. But when that happens several runs in a row I pretty much just totally lose interest. It would be AWESOME if the rng could be tweaked so that certain cards would have a higher or lower percent of showing depending on other cards. Like for instance I HATE the village and wheat fields like a passion because my hand will fill up completely full of wheat fields. But I’ll never get a single village card. So the wheat fields are totally unplayable and therefore deleting cards that I WANT to keep. Beyond frustrating. So when that just keeps happening: I’m done.

I was waiting forever for this game to come out the preview just kept me hooked to the point that I immediately played it on release if you plan to install this look forward to the good graphics, story, and combat to keep you immersed. (P.S You gotta pay for the full thing but whatever I’ll buy it later.)

This game is killer… wait have I said this before?

I played this game a lot on my PC but now that it’s on my phone I can’t stop playing it such a fun chill game that can get interesting.

I love this game so much. Third time I've bought it now, and I'm happy to play it some more. I wish I could transfer my save from PC over, but oh well. The only issue I have is that iCloud/Game Center save syncing doesn't work at all. I've tried so many things. Rebooting each device, making sure there isn't a conflicting save on the other device, multiple connection points, giving it several hours to ensure it syncs, copying the save to another slot and seeing if that kicks it in, deleting a fresh save on the other device in hopes of maybe "clearing" space for the save. So far, nothing at all has worked.

Overall the game itself is great. If you liked it on PC then you know what to expect.

I would like some more control over sizes and the overlay of the stats. While they are important on a phone they take up a lot of space and could easily be something that is able to be minimized.

I’ve played this game on the computer and loved it, but it’s even better on a mobile device. The gameplay is simple but addictive, with a semi-random nature reminiscent of roguelikes, but with enough consistent progress that you always feel like you succeeded in something, even if you die. It also has a charming setting and story, and it’s as well suited to a 15 minute game as it is to a multi-hour binge. The only thing I wish it had was an expansion, DLC, or sequel - but there’s plenty of content and replayability here! Easy 5/5

I played the original PC release to a full completion and pounced on the ability to play it again, and have been elated to find the game has been ported and made to mobile near flawlessly!

I tried it first on pc, but on mobile is even better! It smooths out some of the tedious loading and pc only stuff, 11/10, totally addicted to the mobile version

I have purchased this game across all different platforms; no two runs are the same and you are rewarded by being risky and experimental in your approaches, not just one of the best games on mobile - it’s literally one of the best games period. Buy it already.

A unique twist on tower defense, deck building, auto battling, and rogue likes, all in one fun and addictive package.
The trial version gives you plenty of content to decide if this game is for you.
The default settings might feel a bit slow at first, but you have the option to speed up the combat and walking elements, which improves the gameplay a ton and makes it a lot snappier and exciting.

It’s so rare these days to get games you can just buy and not get pestered by ads or micro transactions. The free version is just a demo but you buy the full game and it’s the full game no more gotchas.

The gameplay itself is solid, look it up as the game was a proper PC game before it was ported for the phone. My only gripe is placing tiles sometimes I just want to click on the card to remind myself of its full stats and end up accidentally placing it in a terrible spot but after awhile that’s a rare occurrence.

This game is very addicting, invoking the ‘just one more turn’ mentality. It’s the perfect game for mobile since you can spend minutes on it, or hours if you want. There’s no mobile dark patterns design in here, just a game for the sake of having fun playing. You get a free trial which is the perfect amount of trial to get to know the game, then a small one-time fee to unlock the full game which is still cheaper than the cheapest freemium tier currency purchase on almost every other mobile game these days. The only critique I have is that some of the stats are a bit underpowered. Vampirism drops off in usefulness very fast, and some talents are giving you like +3 hp in turn 5 when enemies are starting to hit for like 20.

Absolutely incredible game. The thought behind each and every pixel and mechanic is amazing. Third time I’ve purchased this gem 😎 buy it. Well done as always devs

Was loving this until the latest update, now when I beat the first story boss the game force closes and I cannot progress. If I exit the battle and retreat I can keep playing but I cannot defeat the boss without the game crashing. Please fix this issue!

After I build the building and have the encyclopedia, the game just crashed quickly. I have tried a few times but failed. Can you fix the bug? I really like this game.

Definitely a well made game, quality is there along with attention to detail. The story is intriguing, what happened? Who’s left? Idk, but we’ll find out.

PERFECT GAME MADE FOR THE PHONE. Just like console. BUY IT NOW. WORKS PERFECTLY. And you really think this is going to be a feee game? Use your brain you slugs. It literally says in the description TRY THE GAME FOR FREE AND 10% off LAUNCH PRICE IF YOu PRE ORDER. Obviously you brain dead kids cannot read. How do you people make it through life? WHAT A BUNCH OF SPOILED LITTLE BRATS.

Played and beat this a couple of years back on PC. Defiantly recommend, works excellently for mobile and feels like it should have been here from the start!

Edit: with the latest update, my issue was resolved, something to do with the timezone I was in.

Black screen for a second then crash, loved it on PC. Hope to play via mobile!

This game can never get boring to me, so much to do, building your own little world and seeing how far as you can get, I’ve been waiting for it to come to mobile so I can play on the go

Performs exactly as it does on my Switch, with the exception of touch controls. No bugs so far, with a few hours in. I have no complaints, and am not surprised by a playdigious game.

I love this game. It’s addictive and has great pixelated graphics. I have no problem forming over for a premium title with complete gameplay and an engaging story. Playdigious strikes gold again.

This game wasn’t made for mobile at first, but it should’ve been. It’s just as perfect as it’s console/PC predecessor, and it’s finally here on iOS! So happy to finally have this.

wish they did a bit more in UI to make it easier on iphones but an amazing rougelite for the road. incredibly happy for the port

I have been playing Loop Hero since its initial release. Super addictive game. I have played on PC and Switch. The IOS version is fantastic. It has been optimized for touch controls, and feels like it was designed specifically for the iPad. This is the perfect “Just one more round,” type of game. Well done.

Not much else to say. If you’ve played it on console or PC, you already know how well it should work on a phone, and it does.

Music 10/10
Very compelling gameplay loop
Add portrait mode! That’s the secret sauce that would make this even better than the pc version

Really cool game to play while you’re chilling. Have it on PC, love that it’s on mobile.

Definitely worth it

This is an amazing game that has ported well to mobile.

Works surprisingly well, back to another loop!

This game is dope definitely worth you’re time

I’ve had this on PC for a while and was hoping for a mobile port, finally my dreams come true 😭 I’m not sure why people are leaving negative feedback based on a very clear description, most PC ports cost money on mobile. This game is well worth the price, I’ve gotten a lot of hours out of it on PC. I love the QOL additions like the arrows pointing exactly where your card is under your finger so you know where it will be placed, great port!

I just wanna say how shocked I am by how much is packed into this tiny download. You can quickly tell this title was created by people who love what they are doing. Next I want to say how thankful I am for growing up when I did.. these people posting 1 star reviews due to having to simply pay for a product should honestly be ashamed. Where does that kind of entitlement come from? Their parents? How hard is it to understand that people have worked hard to bring this game to us. Spent time away from their families and loved ones. Stayed up late into the night, giving us the fruit of their blood sweat and tears. Why wouldn’t it be fair to ask for compensation for a provided service? For those of you STILL complaining that this title costs money you should really just be ashamed it this point. It’s a great game. It deserves our praise and our money. Devs thank you all for your hard work!
