New Roguelike Ovis Loop: A Fresh Spin on Combat with Dead Cells Flair

Alright, so here it goes—my take on this whole Ovis Loop thing:

—

So, like, have you ever been sucked into one of those action games where you just keep hitting “retry” ’cause something about it just clicks? Yeah, that. Games like Dead Cells and Hades 2, right? There’s something weirdly satisfying about swinging that digital sword or dodging baddies. It’s like even when you fail—I mean, major faceplant-style—you’re still kinda eager to jump back in. Anyway, that’s where Ovis Loop comes in. It’s this roguelike game, and if you’re scratching your head, just picture it as an artsy pixelated fight fest with robot sheep. Yup, robot sheep. Fighting wolves. Told ya it was unique. Heard you can try it on Steam playtest now if you’re curious.

Okay, so Ovis Loop. What sets it apart? Besides the obvious—that sheep with a sword gig—it’s got this quirky style. You know, like pixel art that has you squinting at your screen, wondering if your eyes are playing tricks. And oh, there’s this deckbuilding twist—don’t ask me how, somehow, they made it work with fighting mechanics. Something about downloading skills from enemies… honestly, it sounds pretty cool.

But man, let’s talk about the risk. Each time you get clobbered, you lose your stuff. Like, everything. Talk about pressure, huh? So, naturally, it’s a wild mix and match game, experimenting with the skills you cobble together. Feels like reinventing the wheel every time.

Oh, and did I mention it’s dropping sometime this year? Not that I’m keeping precise track, but you can wishlist it on Steam. Or if you’re feeling adventurous (or just bored), there are loads of other action-packed and indie darlings on PC begging for your attention.

Anyway—oh right, you can keep the gaming chit-chat rolling over on Discord or Google News. We’ve got opinions. Lots of them. Maybe too many. But c’mon, isn’t that where the fun starts?
