Kingdom Loop, a new strategic roguelike game developed by RootGame and published by Ultimate Games, has been announced for PC and consoles. The game invites players into a medieval fantasy world embroiled in a war between humans and the undead. Combining isometric 3D graphics with deckbuilding and evolving turn-based combat, it draws inspiration from Loop Hero and similar strategy games.
Gameplay and Features
The game challenges players to lead unique heroes as they quest for the Grail. Emphasizing deep tactical choices, Kingdom Loop offers eight heroes, each with distinct abilities. Players will navigate an endless loop around the Grail Temple, with over 200 placeable tiles impacting gameplay dynamics. As the game progresses, enemies grow stronger with each completed circuit.
RootGame's approach promises varied strategies and high replayability, with elements of deckbuilding and kingdom management as core gameplay mechanics. Turn-based combat is enhanced with tactical unit selection, resource allocation, and positioning.
Development and Inspiration
Kingdom Loop's design philosophy is influenced by popular turn-based strategies and Japanese RPGs (JRPGs). While no official launch date has been set, a trailer is available for those interested in a preview of the game's mechanics and art style.
This upcoming title aims to capture the interest of strategy enthusiasts, providing a fresh take that blends the nostalgic allure of classic roguelikes with modern gameplay innovations.
