If you’re looking for a new Metroidvania, and you like your bosses big and your violence sweary, Loopmancer is an absolute treat.
Loopmance is like a great cover of a classic song, in 2D action-platformer roguelite form. It may not be very creative, but it’s excellent and highly replayable nonetheless.

Very fun to play, the fast combat leave me a deep **** levels changes every time you play, and the hundreds of variable weapons make the loops satisfying

The rogue-lite gameplay and the use of time loops make Loopmancer a game you can't get enough of. With a cyberpunk theme, it also contains elements that resonate with Chinese players. It offers more than 10 hours of great action game experience.
It's hard to say that Loopmancer has brought any innovation to the roguelike genre, but it tries its best. The branching and decision-making parts of the story are pretty good, but there are lots of places where it falls short in terms of narration.
Loopmancer has some nifty concepts and flashy combat. However, it's also bogged down by some simplified mechanics and a hammy narrative.
Loopmancer is pure action at the service of a player who wants to exalt himself in violence. It is a game that revels in its viscerality and its bizarre and does not care about its imperfections: but whoever has the pad in their hand realizes it! And it's a bit of a shame, because if certain gameplay elements had been weighed with the slingbar and not cut with the cleaver, it would have been practically indispensable. At present it is only for those looking for an experience with few frills and a voluntarily kitschy (in?) Identity. And that's not necessarily enough, on the contrary.
Loopmancer can pack a punch, but it falls short of its own goals too often to be particularly memorable.
I liked it, good combat, gadgets, abilities and graphics, perhaps it just needs a couple of patches, speed/reaction for example, when defending is kinda slower but you get used to it. Soundtrack/music is kinda off and the storyline is alright, not bad not too good. Id say 7/10 metroidvania, gets the job done.

Good-
Some of the levels are gorgeous. Combat is decently varied and fun
Bad-
Forgettable story, setting, and characters. Generic music. Levels have a very inconsistent fun-factor. Redundant enemy types.
Thoughts-
Overall, Loopmancer gets enough right to be a compelling package for some rogue-like enthusiasts, particularly those that devour everything the genre spits out. The action is fun and varied and the levels mix things up just enough to make replaying them avoid feeling like a slog most of the time. Had the levels felt more fundamentally different in subsequent runs or the designs of each stage been more consistently unique from one another, that could have really made me forget about the story, setting, and characters being almost impossible to care about. But as it is, it feels more like a good rogue-like that just holds itself back a bit and ultimately doesn’t quite stand toe-to-toe with the scads of better examples of the genre we’ve gotten over the last few years.
