Gameplay 50%
Loot Hero DX is a sidescroller adventure game where you take control of a knight slaying hundreds of enemies. A dragon has aweakened and you must defeat it to restore peace to the kingdom, and in your way you must face hundreds of monsters. Just keep going right, destroy them, collect the coins they leave to upgrade your weapon and armor, gain XP and level up to get stronger and complete your quest.
Graphics 90%
Loot Hero features nice Pixel Art. The main knight actually changes with every upgrade, and you can see how the hero’s lance changes and becomes bigger when you level up attack, and can get a steel drill or metal spiked ball at the tip. The armor changes color when you get more defense, and the walking animation raises more dust when you upgrade speed.
Production Quality 68%
Loot Hero is entertaining enough to finish all levels and slay the dragon at the end, but it’s a really short adventure and gameplay wise you basically just walk left or right and that’s it. The level up and collecting aspects of the games are a nice addition, but since you interact so little in the actual action, maybe it won’t keep your interest that long.
Value for your Money 65%
You can get Loot Hero DX for $0.99 on the Apple App Store, or download the free android version, which of course it’s loaded with ads. For less than a dollar, it’s a nice experience, and it is worth the effort that the developer put into it, but if you’re looking for a challenging game where you actually play, and you test your reflexes and control ability, this one isn’t for you.Launch Video
Summary
Loot Hero DX is an interesting concept, gameplay wise is too simplistic and it may be boring for some players, but its nice graphics and animation, along with catchy retro style music, will find a place in mobile gamers devices. Play the free version if you can, and then decide for yourself if it’s worth spending 99 cents on the full experience. Pros- Nice Pixel Art and Animation
- Catchy Chiptune Music
- Many levels with unique settings and enemies
- The gameplay is too simple and not challenging at all
- The main adventure is over too soon, very short game
