It\u2019s a unique game in that the protagonist automatically moves forward while it\u2019s the player\u2019s job to place elements such as terrain, villages to collect quests, and even enemies in the hero\u2019s path. You have no direct control of the character, who will auto-attack any obstacle in front of him. The idea is to create a world that will challenge your hero\u00a0as much as possible without actually killing them\u00a0\u2013 as best as you can manage at least. As you strategically place obstacles for your hero\u00a0to conquer, the more rewards, like gear and experience, you earn.\u00a0The path itself is a never-ending loop, and the path resets itself, so to speak, with each new cycle.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>It\u2019s a strange idea to wrap your head around but a highly inventive one. In his review of the game, G<\/span><\/span><span><span>ame Informer<\/span><\/span><span><span>\u2019s own Dan Tack summed up the experience by stating \u201cLoop Hero is a creative and clever little game that should be on your radar if you enjoy strategy, RPGs, deckbuilders, roguelikes, or all of the above. While its novelty begins to wither the further you get away from your opening hours, the journey is worthwhile and engaging.\u201d You can read the full review <\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/review\/loop-hero\/loop-hero-review-refreshing-reiteration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span><span><span><span>here<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><span><span> for a full idea of what Loop Hero entails, or watch us play it in this episode of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/new-gameplay-today\/new-gameplay-today\/2021\/01\/11\/loop-hero-new-gameplay-today\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Gameplay Today<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>Have you taken the plunge into Loop Hero and if so, what do you think of it so far?
