Looper Tactics

Looper Tactics is a strategy card RPG that mixes deck-building with auto-battler combat, set in a synthetic world the player's character is trapped reincarnating through. The framing: an ancient empire created a contained world full of synthetic souls and locked them into an eternal cycle of rebirth to prevent disaster. You're one of those souls, looking for a way out.

Gameplay moves across a board-style map where you choose tiles to explore: combat encounters, treasure rooms, events, trade stations. Combat itself is auto-battler — your deck deploys, the action runs, and you win or lose based on the build you assembled getting there.

Minions belong to five races (Demons, Elves, Mechs, Elementals, Dragons), each with distinct mechanical kits and two forms each unit can shift between. Stacking races and synergies inside the deck is the main strategic question, and the developer cites Hearthstone, Artifact, and Hearthstone Battlegrounds as direct mechanical influences.

Minion attributes can be permanently improved through battle outcomes, so a low-tier creature carried through enough fights can become an endgame threat. Each map decision shifts your build's trajectory; the game makes the case that the choices between battles matter as much as the battles themselves.
