Loop Hero has been tearing up the Steam charts and hitting major player milestones in record time as players have fallen in love with the fun RPG auto battler. The mix of strategy, deck building, and random battles has drawn quite the crowd, and many players are wondering how many chapters are in the game.
Loop Hero has four different chapters, each of which ends with a final boss. While the chapter count may be small, the real meat of the game lies in repeatedly running the loops as players throw themselves at the mercy of fate in their attempts to find the required resources to progress. Random drops and builds mean that some runs will go better than others, and players will never really know what is going to happen on the loop.
Repeated runs will need to be made to farm the many resources in Loop Hero, as these can be used to make buildings at camp and upgrade them for further benefits. Without these upgrades and the new mechanics or characters that they unlock, players will have little chance of making it to the end of the game.
There are also dozens of different hidden mechanics and tile combos to master, manipulating the loop in various ways and potentially allowing players to dedicate some runs to farming rare resources that are needed for certain camp expansions. Despite being only four chapters long, Loop Hero has a huge amount of replayability and an extensive grind for those who wish to progress their camp and characters.
Of course, there are players out there who are already working out clever exploits to let the game run faster, cutting down on their overall time on the loot while also increasing their efficiency. The real fun in Loop Hero comes from stacking the odds in the hero's favor in clever ways, then reaping the rewards as the items and resources come flooding in.
The end of each chapter also contains a test in the form of a boss fight such as the Lich. These are tough battles that will test the hero's build, and taking them on too quickly is a surefire way to die and lose the majority of those precious resources that were gathered on the loop. This can send players back to the loop for some more resource grinding before they can be confident of beating the boss. Loop Hero is deep, addictive, and challenging, providing players with plenty of content and reasons to experiment with their camp builds, tactics, and hero builds.
Loop Hero is available on PC.
