...where we came in? Are we stuck in a loop? Uh oh, sounds like a crazy situation for a Game Over Man!
The game we are overing today? Devolver Digital's newest indie type idle roguelike other adjectives, Loop Hero. You play in the ruins of a destroyed world, trying to resurrect your own memories. (Dark Souls what?) However, the only way you can help your hero as he loops endlessly through the world is by placing monster tiles to buff him up more and more. It's a weird mechanic that we thought was worth an episode!
(Also we talk about how good Hades is because we can't stop it for some reason) Listen to it now! Wait, isn't this...
