You are a synthetic soul caught in a cycle of reincarnation in a world created by an ancient empire. Travel through this fantasy world and uncover its history as you make choices about how to advance.
Move across a board-style map, choosing which tiles to explore and when to advance or retreat. Tiles can lead to battles, events, treasure, blessings, or opportunities to trade cards, while enemies grow stronger as you progress.
Build a deck of units and spells, drawing minions from different races with distinct mechanics and forms. Battles resolve as auto-battler encounters, while your choices in combat can permanently strengthen minions for the rest of the adventure; gather resources and prepare for each level’s boss.
Reviewers who enjoy Looper Tactics often praise its card battles and deck-building, especially the chance to combine units and strengthen minions over the course of an adventure. Some find stacking buffs and developing a powerful build satisfying, though opinions differ on the game’s balance and overall pacing.
Looper Tactics is a captivating strategy card-based RPG, blending elements of deck-building games, classic card battles, and auto-battler. You will traverse a board-style map, continuously assembling and strengthening your deck through battles, events, and treasure hunts — all while uncovering the truth hidden in this fantastical world.

During your journey in Looper Tactics, you’re free to explore the map however you like. Advance or retreat. Decide which tiles to explore next and get ready before engaging in the ultimate battle that awaits you on each level! How you progress in the game is your mere decision.
Just remember, as you advance on the map, the enemies will get stronger, but you’ll also encounter new allies and creatures to enhance your deck.

As a deck-building card game, Looper Tactics gameplay is inspired by Hearthstone, Artifact, and Hearthstone Battlegrounds’ mechanics, all while adding strategic and roguelite elements. In the game, you collect resources through battles, events, and treasure hunts, strengthening your deck in preparation for the ultimate boss challenge.

Minions belong to different races - Demons, Elves, Mechs, Elementals and Dragons - and have two distinct forms to choose from.

Each race has unique mechanics and combining it with different units and spells can lead to multiple combat styles. Choose the one that suits your strategy.


Engaging in battles will allow you to enhance your minion’s attributes by using abilities, attacks or spells. These changes are permanent and will help you until the end of your adventure.
Plan carefully as even the lowest-tier minion can become a formidable force after countless battles.

Confront every battle as a new opportunity. Your strategy during these auto-battle confrontations won’t only affect the current challenge but also future encounters.
Each movement is a new opportunity. Think of your next step as a fundamental part of your whole strategy, as different tiles will allow you to gain blessings, trade cards or engage in battles of increasing difficulty.
Grow stronger as your hero and companions' attributes improve based on your fighting style and choices on the map.

It all began when the ancient empire dared to play God. They constructed a whole world within a container, creating synthetic souls to inhabit it. But as they watched their creations grow, fear crept in. The only solution to prevent these creations from leading to the world’s ruin was to seal them away and keep them on an endless cycle of reincarnation. A fate the synthetic souls would endure for all eternity.
The empire believed they had done enough, but as time passed, doubts began to arise. Would the cycle of reincarnation be enough to keep the world safe? Only time will tell…
