Demon Loop

Clever optimization deck-builder from Alexander Pfister. Can be very challenging, which may put off new players, particularly those not accustomed to Pfister's other games similar to this (notably, Blackout: Hong Kong). I think this works well as a digital app, perhaps more so than it would as a physical game, with gradually-revealed hidden terrain and custom decks per level. May feel like more of a puzzle than a game, but this is one of the appealing aspects to me. Can be very frustrating, particularly when you realize you've made a mistake, and there is no way to restart the turn. I experienced only a few minor glitches during gameplay, and there are some minor language errors, but nothing game-breaking or preventing understanding, though be sure to take note of the warning during startup that this is still Early Access and save-game data may be lost/unusable after an update (which may prompt some people considering the purchase to wait until official release).

Neat independent deckbuilder. I had to watch the stream to get the tutorial, but after that, I got rolling. I got the game on the first day early acces sale, and I like the puzzle-element. Cute graphics!

Beautiful deck building game. Easy to get into, but becomes challenging pretty quickly with lots of different choices of how to solve a scenario. Very nice. Looking forward to future updates!

Very fun deckbuilding game with a cool story and nice artwork! Realy liked the boardgame character!

Die Idee des Spieles an sich ist nett. Allerdings sind aktuell noch viele Bugs im Spiel vorhanden. Z.B.: Nicht abwarten der Bewegungsanimation führt zum feststecken des spiels Das Szenario mit dem Hund, wenn man den Angriff aus versehen "exiled", ist es sehr schwer wieder an einen Angriff zu kommen. Bewegungsanimationen sind einmal vorhanden und einmal nicht? Für den Preis und Early Access Status ist aber schon viel Content vorhanden und ich gebe den Entwickler mal den Benefit of Doubt das sie die Fehler bis zum Release gefixt haben werden. Insofern ein vorsichtiges Daumen hoch.

This is a great original deckbuilder very reminiscent on the board games designed by its mechanics author, Alex Pfister. It follows some of his ideas in boardgames like maracaibo or great western trail. You have deckbuilding, movement on a loop map, buildings that can be improved for better actions on that location, very controlled randomness, multiuse cards with conditions (match location color). This is boardgame greatness and thinkiness in videogame format. Every mission is a puzzle by itself. You start every mission with an empty deck, and you should buy new cards in the right time to improve your deck. After every mission you can buy upgrades and grow your market pool, for better possibilities next mission Lots of possibilities, and a fresh air

Beim beginnen wirkt es kompliziert, die Level sind auch anfangs nicht das was man unter spannend versteht doch es dauert nur ein wenig bis man rein kommt, und wenn man einmal drinnen ist hat man echt Spaß mit dem Game. Meiner Meinung nach ist es ein Spiel was man für eine bis halbe stunde spielt und dann wieder aus macht, wenn mann eher an längeren Sessions interessiert ist sollte man noch einmal überlegen und dann entscheiden ob mann das Spiel kauft. Wenn man jedoch, wie ich, wenig zeit zu Zocken hat ist es perfekt.

Boardgame fans, check out Demon Loop. It released ago and is anything but what I expected, full of strange mechanics and quests (it's fun though). Demon Loop is an interesting digital boardgame with lots of unusual mechanics but it all somehow works. Levels are challenge-based which is fun. Also has a nice little story to tie it all together.

It is finally available! I already played the demo on a gaming-fair and now, I was eager to see how the developers created the early game. So far I am not disappointed, impressed actually, and will definitely look more into the game and the upcoming updates. Keep up the good work!

What a fresh and clever gameplay! It's like a board game, but with lovely animations, easy to learn real-time instructions and a storyline that really makes you smile from time to time. Usually I'm more into the action genre but this gem convinced me to look outside my box some times, haha! An absolute recommendation: 10/10!
