The developers Four Quarters announced that the building and the pit of the well, Loop Hero, sold 500,000 copies in the first week. Along with celebrating the success, they have unveiled some of their plans to enhance the loop with extra features. They plan to start some life changes and bigger changes like new classes.
If you’re not familiar, Loop Hero is a mix of deck building and automatic fighting and dungeon crawling. Your deck contains maps such as monsters, buildings and terrain that you will place along the way for your hero to meet. If they succeed in overcoming your obstacle course successfully, you can invest your earnings loot in your campsite to make them stronger for the next generated loop.
As for these updates, “after that we’re working on patches with quality of life updates that you’re all asked for, including a system to store during expeditions, new speed settings, and a number of features that bosses have received,” Four Quarters says. “After that, you can expect to see more content being added to the game, such as new maps, transformations, classes, and new music.”
The ability to save during expeditions is one of the modern conveniences that sounds particularly nice. When it comes to new classes, more options are also always nice. I appreciate that Loop Hero has my personal favorite, the Necromancer, instead of a standard elemental wizard as the third main class. I suspect some of you who have played Loop Hero probably also have your own wish lists for the class.
If you haven’t jumped on the bandwagon yet, Kat Bailey explained how it falls into the deep RPG history. “It’s a very clever mash-up, which manages to evoke all the memories of classic RPGs with a simple and very rigorous setup,” she says. “In particular, it pretty much captures why dungeon crawlers still resonate after all these years – the sense of discovery as you build the map, the sense of danger as you weigh the pros and cons of another run, the satisfaction of being your hero. to build a juggernaut in real time. ‘
It does sound like a good time. It fits that it made it to RPS ‘list of the top 14 games in March to look forward to.
