Demon Loop

After playing the 'Demon Loop' demo, I was instantly hooked and eagerly awaited the Early Access release. Now that it's finally here, I'm thrilled with the wealth of new content that's been added! The addictive gameplay continues to captivate me, and the expanded tactical deck-building mechanics make the experience even more engaging. I was especially excited to try out the ranged weapons, and they did not disappoint—they add a whole new layer of strategy to the game. As with any Early Access title, there are some bugs, but I haven't encountered any major blockers that would hinder the overall experience. The developers are responsive and appreciative of bug reports, quickly addressing issues as they arise. 'Demon Loop' has truly sparked my love for this genre, and the Early Access version offers so much more to explore. If you enjoyed the demo, you’ll love this expanded experience. It's a real gem that shouldn't be missed—highly recommended!

Interesting mix between deck building, strategy and role play where can feel the designer has its roots in board games. Every turn requires strategic planning to acquire to best resources possible in the limited time to prepare for combat. The constraints on how you can use resources and cards with multiple functions took me some time to get into it before i could fully enjoy the game mechanics.

Nice deckbuilding boardgame with some (dice-/cardbased) fighting and story. I like it so far.

This feels like a really unique deck building game and has a lot of potential. It revolves around resource management, positioning yourself well in the loop, and then finally planning for a killing blow on demons. It's more of a story-driven game where your deck is constantly re-made, rather than being a roguelike where each run features one growing deck. Each card has 3 uses: movement around the loop, played effect, or discarded for its Knowledge. I love multi-use cards and Knowledge especially is a cool mechanic: If I discard for Knowledge, I am able to learn a new card from the Codex DURING the encounter and it goes into my discard pile. The Codex is basically a shop that usually starts empty, but cards can be added to it during a scenario. I can access the Codex at any point on my turn, giving a lot of flexibility in when I take cards into my deck. As far as I know this isn't a very common mechanic in deckbuilders and it has a lot of depth and decision making involved here. I recommend this if you want a deckbuilder that is NOT a roguelike and that explores more mechanics outside of pure combat.

I really like it! I’ve played it for a bit so far and to me it feels a bit like a puzzle game. It's very satisfying to pull off long combo turns and figure out the solution to each level. Having different decks in each level and adding permanent cards is an interesting twist compared to other card games. Looking forward to what the next levels and updates will bring.

Ein spannendes turnbased Strategiespiel, das einem zum Überlegen bringt, welche Karte man als nächstes spielen sollte. Besticht mit interessanten Charakteren, und innovativen Gameplay

Echt eine schöne Indie-Perle. Es vereint Elemente von Brett- und Sammelkartenspielen und bietet ein einfaches, aber strategisch tiefes Gameplay. Die Grafik ist schlicht, aber ansprechend, und die vielen Möglichkeiten sorgen für knifflige Herausforderungen.
