Loop Hero review
This charming "micro RPG" is one of 2021's early gems.
Loop Hero is the rehydrated essence of a dozen misremembered, ancient games. From the moment the 16-color title screen fades in alongside dramatic chiptunes, you feel like you're playing some forgotten, VGA-era fantasy RPG, a game that still contains some of the mystery and difficulty of 1991, but gently modernized to 2021.
This isn't nostalgia for nostalgia's sake. Loop Hero presents a novel and dead-simple gameplay format that's strangely engrossing, considering much of your time playing it is hands-off
[...]
The spirit of early-'90s fantasy games, cleverly revived in an original and digestible form.
Score: 83/100
Thanks Henriquejr!
