Story

The Lich has thrown the world into a timeless loop and plunged its inhabitants into never ending chaos. Wield an expanding deck of mystical cards to place enemies, buildings, and terrain along each unique expedition loop for the brave hero. Recover and equip powerful loot for each class of hero for their battles and expand the survivors' camp to reinforce each adventure through the loop. Unlock new classes, new cards, and devious guardians on your quest to shatter the endless cycle of despair.

What is happening now

Loop Hero is an indie strategy-RPG that wraps roguelike progression and card-based mechanics into a deceptively minimal loop-based gameplay loop. You place cards to build and modify terrain, equipping your hero to battle enemies as they circle an ever-changing map. The game released in early 2021 and has since found audiences across PC, consoles, and mobile platforms. The title recently appeared in Epic Games Store's mobile giveaway promotion, making it available for free claim on iOS and Android. The inclusion signals continued interest in bringing the indie roguelike to broader mobile audiences alongside its established presence on Switch, Xbox, and desktop platforms.
