'Loop Hero' Sells 500,000 Copies, Receives Steam Cards, Future Updates Teased

by Rainier on March 11, 2021 @ 10:30 a.m. PST

Loop Hero is a boundless old school card-based RPG adventure, where instead of playing as the hero, you must craft the world that the hero travels through.

The Lich has thrown the world into a timeless loop and plunged its inhabitants into never ending chaos.Wielding an expanding deck of mystical cards, position enemies, buildings, and terrain along the path of each unique expedition to piece together your brave hero’s memories and restore balance to the world. 

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.

No hero’s expedition is ever the same as those that have gone before. Only the boldest and most resourceful can overcome the unholy guardian bosses over a grand saga to save the world and break the time loop of the Lich.

Loop Hero has welcomed over 500,000 players in the first week of its endless adventure on Steam, racking up infinite records along the way including - but not limited to - the fastest selling soundtrack in Devolver Digital history, and an average user playtime of 12 hours, which by our calculations means a total of 3 trillion hours and 18 billion loops, at least.

To celebrate these incredible milestones, developer Four Quarters have collaborated with artist Bard-the-zombie on a special series of Steam Trading Cards, available now. 

"Thank you all for your support and excitement for Loop Hero from all of us at Four Quarters! Right now we're working on patches with quality-of-life updates you all asked for, including a system for saving during expeditions, new speed settings, and a deck of traits gained from bosses! After that, you can expect to see lots more content added to the game, such as new cards, classes and transformations. We can’t wait to share more updates with you all soon!"

Key Features:

  • Infinite Adventure: Select from unlockable character classes and deck cards before setting out on each expedition along a randomly generated loop path. No expedition is ever the same as the ones before it.
  • Plan Your Struggle: Strategically place building, terrain, and enemy cards along each loop to create your own dangerous path. Find balance between the cards to increase your chances of survival while recovering valueable loot and resources for your camp.
  • Loot and Upgrade: Strike down menacing creatures, recover stronger loot to equip on the fly and unlock new perks along the way.
  • Expand Your Camp: Turn hard-earned resources into campsite upgrades and gain valueable reinforcements with each completed loop along the expedition path.
  • Save the Lost World: Overcome a series of unholy guardian bosses over a grand saga to save the world and break the time loop of the Lich!

Loop Hero is available on PC (Steam) for $14.99.
