Game is only worth $3! Here's how to FIX IT

[True Reclaimer]

Valheim has raised the bar for cheap indie games.

Loop hero is good, but nowhere near as great, and certainly not worth the same price.

The main issues, or rather what LH lacks, is control and customization over your character

Missing the ability to manually control battles and choose basic things like old school final fanstasy

Missing hero gaining XP and levels and skills, rather than relying 100% on RNG loot

This game was made way too simplistic, the devs were afraid to take risks and expand upon their ideas

The card system is cool, but without the ability to combine cards, or trade them, or sacrifice/transmute them - the system really fell short

And no ability to manually switch equipment without destroying it, and no ability to manually destroy junk items or even sell them/break them down for resources?

And even at double speed, the game feels like a slow boring slog that basically plays for you. No immersion, no challenge or skill, no fun.

Loop Hero is just a sad shadow of what could have been an amazing game, if the devs werent so lazy and cut corners with the excuse of "minimalism"

maybe, as hero siege is doing, they can add more things to the game

Would be nice but basic features missing at launch signify it was the devs intention to not have them

So no, they wont add things like manual battle or levels and skills

Best we can do is avoid this game and play something better

Valheim is also backed by a very successful company that funded them and has limited planning and honestly isn't as complex as a game like this is.

I never support threads that argue this game is cheap so this game should be cheap too. Its absolutely silly.

The guy who makes $7.25 an hour does 5x more than you do, you should make what he makes an hour. You see how crazy it can get?

this is a bait thread anyway but i have time to waste for others that click on it.
1.you can customize your character in the form of the deck you bring this affects the build you aim for on your hero
2. this isnt supposed to be a final fantasy like game go play that if you want it
3.Actually play the game you can influenece exp gain
4.Game isnt too simple some aspects yes are simple but not too simple and thats part of the charm of it
5.Play the game stop baiting
6.You want the game not to be simple but then complain about something that requires you to think
7.Game does need a higher speed not for the reasons you say tho

Devolver Digital isnt a major successful company??

Bruh

Never even heard of Irongate or Coffeestain Studios before Valheim, but Devolver holds its own EXPO every year and is a big corporation

No excuse why Loop Hero is so bad

You tell me to play the game, then to not play it and play final fantasy which is actually a better game and way more successful

You agree the game is too slow, but dont want to fully agree because for whatever reason youre suffering from sunk cost/time fallacy thinking the more you invest in this the better it gets, and now youre realizing how wrong you are

Played Loop Hero for 60 hours and had fun the entire time. 60h for 12 bucks is really good price/hours wise. Reviews are really good as well, most people seem to like it. If you don't: No problem! But beeing a jerk and saying something is not worth 12 bucks is astronomically dickish. Grow up.

In addition: Most of your claims are wrong. There is a level up and skill mechanic. You can change cards, you just need a building and a card for it. "No challenge, no skill" is not true as well, as the entire end of the game resolves around tactics, how to build your character, how to build your deck and how to build your camp and supplies.

It seems you played the tutorial and stopped.

The game is some sort of "reverse tower defense". Complaining about not beeing able to control your character is just crazy...

Well, I don't know how far you are in Loop Hero, or how good you are, but the game strikes me as having a lot of hidden depth that really isn't obvious till you play a lot of it. I'm only just hitting chapter 2 so what do I know? But I am certainly discovering delightful little tricks and combos all the time as I proceed. There's depth here.

And since, you mentioned it, I find Valheim is so painfully average that I can't see what all the fuss is about. 7 Days to Die is much much better, for example.

Devolver Digital is a publisher.
Coffee Stain is a developer. Coffee Stain made a lot of popular games Deep Rock Galatic, Goat Simulator, Satisfactory just to give a few.

Publishers fund the game but have a lot of say and don't like going over budget where they know they can make a profit.

I'm not here to really argue but if you can't see why someone who makes $20 not have their hourly pay reduced to $7.25 because the guy can also do the same job and more then we have nothing to discuss.

The games are differently priced and Loop Hero is MORE than affordable and so far a lot of the buyers I'm seeing well worth the time put into it to get what is considered their moneys worth.

Its $15, you spent 60 hours staring at the same screen but couldnt see the price?

Thats great you enjoy watching a game play for you, but for me Id rather pay an extra 5 and get a game like Valheim where I can play for 600 hours with full control AND play with friends, which you clearly are lacking with that attitude

I played Loop Hero for 10 mins and was bored, so tell me how its worth 1.50 a minute?

[Ghostlight]

Comparing this to Valheim to see which has the "correct" price is just silly imo. They are not comparable pass-times.

7 days is also only 10 dollars more than loop hero and has much more content and multiplayer

Im just saying if Loop is going to be so simple, it should be under 5 bucks

No multiplayer, no character skills or levels, no control, and graphics on par with Atari/Gameboy. Underwhelming for 2021

[bruticus0]

It was 12 bucks for those of us who pre ordered it. I bought it. I love playing it. And since no one here participated in development of the game, I don't see how you can say they were "afraid". Devs have shown absolutely no fear in coming here and wading through these crap posts to reply to us.

If you like Valheim better, great. go play it. Having variety is great isn't it? You could have looked up the demo. It's still available on a website. The dev linked us to it on release day. I think the demo disappearing is more a steam thing. But regardless......tantrums really are disgusting to look at.

[Cakey]

As having 52 hours in loop hero and 4 hours in their demo previously, and 61 hours in valheim, I can say without a doubt that loop hero was worth every penny I paid. They're both completely 2 different games. Both are amazing games and I am having fun playing both.

Maybe Loop Hero just wasn't for you. Move on?
