I REALLY like the RPG Genre, and this game definitely was up to my standards, I loved the simple aspect of just leveling up stats freely by using coins, and how simple the combat system is. I would love a sequel! Also, there was one glitch where some speed level ups, decreased my speed, so if you could fix that, this game would be even better!
Reviews for "Loot Hero"
I really REALLY wanted to like this game.
The outlining components are fantastic, the music is fun, the graphic are great, the UI is well done and the game is very well explained, but sadly the core mechanic is absent.
This game, well, isn't really a game. I, the player, am not required to do anything, I don't need to show skill, I don't need to make decisions, I'm not required to any meaningful input. I just have to click forwards until I'm low on hp, grind, buy an upgrade and continue forwards and...that's it! There's nothing to spice things up, or make me stop and think. Therefore it is simply not enjoyable.
I think you got talent. You got everything it takes to make a great game, put some thought into your mechanics and look at the game from the players' perspective and ask yourself "What is required of me?".
Great graphics, great music, but it's ultimately a grinding game and so it's inherently unfun.
It kind of reminds me of Trigger Knight but less strategic and creative and unique.
You clearly only had to program so much and then let the game grow itself, so there's really not much point in playing past the first dragon encounter. There aren't any better loot items than the 25-point crystals. I managed to upgrade my attack all the way and you can just keep upgrading it and it'll stay on the same level. I'm a little curious to see if you can upgrade your critical past 100%, but not enough to do it.

Thanks for the feedback! I am trying to think of ways to make it more strategic! You can in theory upgrade forever, the stats are still increasing past the max. I left that intentionally since I personally think its fun when there is no real level cap.
The music is great... The game is easy, but really fun! It's a bit addictive. The 16-bit graphics are awesome. The game is really cool, but maybe add more levels. I applaud to your game making skillz my good fellow...

I would love to add some more levels, I will see if I can do it, or save them for Loot Hero 2 : ) Thank you!
Why the hell is this game so addicting?!
