Looper Tactics

It's definitely good. The game deserves a positive review. The card battle mechanics are exciting and well done. What bothers me: you traverse endless areas/rooms one after the other. It's easy to lose track of where you are. An overview map is missing.

Looper Tactics, developed by Inkstone Atelier and published by 2P Games and Gamersky Games, is a layered strategy experience that merges deck-building mechanics with roguelite structure and board-style exploration. It doesn’t settle into a single genre comfortably, instead drawing from several established systems and weaving them into a loop that emphasizes planning, adaptability, and long-term decision-making. The result is a game that can feel both familiar and complex, depending on how deeply players engage with its interconnected systems. The gameplay unfolds across a grid-like map where each movement carries strategic weight. Players navigate tiles that represent encounters, rewards, and potential risks, gradually building their strength while preparing for increasingly difficult battles. The pacing of this exploration is crucial—progressing too quickly can leave a build underdeveloped, while taking too long allows enemies to scale in power. This constant tension between efficiency and preparation becomes one of the defining elements of the experience, shaping how each run develops and encouraging players to think several steps ahead. Combat is centered around a deck-buildin…

I really enjoyed Cubic Cosmos, and maybe I would have liked this had i played it first. Or maybe not. Localization is terrible. Stat buff are capped, cards don't shuffle back into deck and you have game damage to get cards to play after running out. The enemy will get multiple lives which means their cards refresh and they get full life. You are forced to take damage every turn regardless of how well you play your cards. All the cards suk and pretty much die in one hit. The buffs seemed lame. This all from a short time playing. I'm sure some things might have improved but, didn't want to risk being stuck with it. Refunded.

Noice!

I really like the card battling element of this game. It feels far too limiting sometimes. Each level only lets you play for so long but it gets a little easier each time with the card improvement system. The story though is completely impenetrable for me, though. I'm not sure if it's deliberately written as it is or if it's a horribly garbled translation and the main map area is tedious and annoying to traverse between levels. Overall I'd recommend this game but be warned it isn't as ling as it should be unless you like doing the same thing hundreds of times to get a slight edge after a long time.

Well, I'm gonna leave a positive review because it's not a bad game. But it has this... lack of juice, maybe? It feels like "I could've made it" myself. The dialogue is odd, the whole... the game has this "feeling" that the developer made systems and then attached the game on top. The idea is good don't get me wrong but man it's so odd sometimes. I got it for cheap and that helps a lot for this to be a positive review. Hope the dev's next game is better!
