Escape the Lich and the loop

Loop Herois a nifty-looking Rogue-like game where you’ll strategically place enemies for your hero from your own hand of cards. Now, before anyone gets on me about calling it a Rogue-like, it’s got randomized adventures, gear, heroes that die, and an “infinite loop” that you’ll need to break out of. The deck-building bit is what somehow makes me personally more interested in it than more literal riffs on Rogue. It will arrive sometime in 2021 for your randomized dungeoning desires.

“Strategically place building, terrain, and enemy cards along each loop to create your own dangerous path,” say Four Quarters. “Find balance between the cards to increase your chances of survival while recovering valuable loot and resources for your camp.”

If I understand it correctly, you’re playing cards that could prove lethal to your hero, attempting to organize and order them in such a fashion that they overcome challenges without being overwhelmed. It sounds quite neat. Here’s the reveal trailer to scrutinise for yourself.
