Devolver Digital kicked off the 2020 Game Awards pre-show with... its own game of the year award – for a game called Loop Hero that had, up until right that second, not yet been announced. Those rascals.
It's a retro strategy game with decks and base building, but you're gonna want to watch the trailer.
"The Lich has thrown the world into a timeless loop and plunged its inhabitants into never ending chaos. Wield an expanding deck of mystical cards to place enemies, buildings, and terrain along each unique expedition loop for the brave hero. Recover and equip powerful loot for each class of hero for their battles and expand the survivors' camp to reinforce each adventure through the loop. Unlock new classes, new cards, and devious guardians on your quest to shatter the endless cycle of despair."
I feel like I need to play this to fully grasp the inner workings, but I'm listening.
