Deckbuilding roguelike indie gem Loop Hero is now available for free on Epic Games Store

Loop Hero is a unique take on the roguelike formula. To put it very simply, players have to place tiles, kill monsters, equip loot, rinse and repeat until they can slay the boss.

The official description of Loop Hero reads,

“The Lich has thrown the world into a timeless loop and plunged its inhabitants into never-ending chaos. Wield an expanding deck of mystical cards to place enemies, buildings, and terrain along each unique expedition loop for the brave hero. Recover and equip powerful loot for each class of heroes 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.”

Four Quarters blends roguelike gameplay with deckbuilding, base building, and role-playing auto-battler elements to create an incredibly addictive gameplay loop. The music of Loop Hero is also a treat to listen to.
