$14.99Loop Hero Rebuild the world, one loop at a time
Loop Hero turns deckbuilding sideways: you do not fight, you build the fight. Each run you lay cards for monsters, terrain, and buildings around a looping road, while your hero walks it alone and swings on his own. Balance risk against loot, retreat with resources, and grow your camp to unlock new classes and cards.

- you like deckbuilders where drafting and placement matter more than reflexes
- you enjoy planning risk against reward, loop by loop
- you like slow roguelite progress through camp upgrades and unlocks

Build the road, not the hero
You pick a class and a deck, then watch a little hero march in circles. Your job is everything around him. Each card from kills becomes a tile: a spider nest here, a grove there, a rock next to a mountain for a better bonus. Place too many monsters and the loop eats him. Place too few and he arrives at the boss undergeared. You swap his loot mid-walk, pick perks on level-up, and decide when to pull out. It is deckbuilding as landscaping, with casualties.
Card combos and camp progress
Cards react to each other, so placement is the puzzle. Terrain sits beside matching terrain, buildings support nearby tiles, and some pairs transform into something new. Survive long enough and the boss appears, then the loop ends in victory, retreat, or death. Whatever resources you carry home feed your survivors' camp. New buildings unlock classes, cards, and reinforcements, so each expedition starts a little stronger. Losing a run still moves the larger rebuild forward, which softens the sting.
How does it play?
Do you control the hero in fights?
No. The hero walks the loop and fights automatically. You control the world: which cards go down, what gear he wears, which perks he takes, and when to retreat to camp with resources.
What do the cards actually do?
Enemy cards add monsters and loot, terrain cards change stats and resources, and building cards give support effects. Where you place them changes difficulty and reward, and some combinations transform or strengthen each other.
How does a run end?
A run ends when you beat the guardian boss, retreat to camp, or die. Returning at camp keeps your resources, leaving early keeps less, and dying keeps the least, so knowing when to stop is half the strategy.
What carries over between runs?
Resources build up the survivors' camp, which unlocks new hero classes, new cards, and lasting reinforcements. Your loop resets each expedition, but the camp makes the next loop more survivable.
