Why would you discard cards? You also get resources for playing them.

speeds up boss spawn
also if you go crazy with mountains might get overrun with gobos

When you pick up equipment that's inferior to what you're wearing, you don't want to equip it so once your bag gets full, everything you pick up drops the oldest item.

The Oblivion cards are useful for when you're getting overrun.

I would've liked a x3 walking speed option and a combat speed option. As it is you can set planning mode while in combat, so there's no real need for reflexes or not having the guy run around.

Because it is not an RPG.

So is Assassin's Creed yet I see it in the RPG subforum? I thought Infinitron's criteria for putting stuff in RPG subforum was an RPG tag on steam, and Loop Hero definitely has one

It is, which is this is highly confusing. But it is a step in the right direction.

I don't know, I'm surprised this has an RPG tag. There are classes in the full release, but it isn't clear to me what they'll do. Everything else is simply equipment drops of various tiers and rarity. It doesn't really go in an RPG slot in my mind, not even as an ARPG.

It's an RPG because the character plays himself, and you only handle equipment and build, meaning there is no leakage between player and character skill.

Yeah, I can buy that. Interesting, I wouldn't have thought about it that way.

The criteria is the developers explicitly describing the game as an RPG in a formal description, press release, trailer, etc. Steam tags are opportunistic gibberish.

Original skill system based on great spirit and religion. However, we’ve got a unique twist on that in keeping with our promise to meld native American lore with deep mechanics inherent in any good RPG.

In both cases, we can make the game of our dreams. The game you want. An RPG dream game on par with the greatest of the genre. We can do it!

Steam tags certainly seem way more pertinent than your retarded "criteria" you've literally pulled out of your ass.

i mean... to quote single sentence

Loot and Upgrade: Strike down menacing creatures, recover stronger loot to equip on the fly and unlock new perks along the way.

which is as good definition of rpg as it gets. Plus you get members that tried it and claiming so. Also felipepepe likes it so at one point you will have to face it

Spoiler

bg3 wont get this year goty

Is the Publisher's own website lying?

Spoiler

Recover and equip powerful loot for each class of hero 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.

• Infinite Adventure: Select from unlockable character classes and deck cards before setting out on each expedition along a randomly generated loop path. No expedition is ever the same as the ones before it.
• Plan Your Struggle: Strategically place building, terrain, and enemy cards along each loop to create your own dangerous path. Find balance between the cards to increase your chances of survival while recovering valuable loot and resources for your camp.
• Loot and Upgrade: Strike down menacing creatures, recover stronger loot to equip on the fly and unlock new perks along the way.
• Expand Your Camp: Turn hard-earned resources into campsite upgrades and gain valuable reinforcements with each completed loop along the expedition path.
• Save the Lost World: Overcome a series of unholy guardian bosses over a grand saga to save the world and break the time loop of the Lich!

yeah this doesn't really sound like an RPG.....

Yeah, so when marketers lie we have to take it as truth?

but its not just tags? Look at genre part:

TITLE: Loop Hero
GENRE: Indie, RPG, Simulation, Strategy
DEVELOPER: Four Quarters
PUBLISHER: Devolver Digital
RELEASE DATE: Mar 4, 2021

How far would you really go to keep it outside of rpg subforum? Is there anything more official than this part on steam?

Infinitron
also here you get devs retweeting publisher using

There really is a fad at the moment of dressing shit games up in nostalgic aesthetics to make an easy buck.

So if a game explicitly is an RPG mechanically (stats, levelups, dialogue choices, skill trees etc) but the devs call it an "action adventure" for some reason, it doesn't belong to the RPG subforum?

Daily reminder:

thanks Infinitron

Jenkem now you can follow your dreams

There is, but imo loop hero looks very stylish.

 

[Jenkem]

Can we get a list of graphical styles that are acceptable on codex? handcrafted pixel art that is good (like loop hero) takes more talent than slapping an asset store model into blender and tweaking it

 

[Old Hans]

that looks pretty cool. good work Loop boyz

 

[Sibylla]

played the demo, utter garbage game. watching numbers increase isnt addictive or fun
