I took a chance on Loop Hero and it's addictive.
It's one of those old style 90's computer games, very little on information but you know there is a depth to it that you have to figure out on your own.
It's an anti-tower defense game, because your warrior runs the loop and you place the "towers" to challenge them. You gamble on how much you can throw at your hero, how much of supplies you can grab to upgrade your base and then there is the diabloequese means of upgrading your weapons and armor...(fancy a fast slasher then boost your attack speed, or perhaps you want a wolverine like regen).
I've barely scraped the surface and just beat the first boss...
I also think it's great because while it's a time waster you don't feel compelled to keep playing, you can stop and you don't lose any progress and you don't lose the narrative. So I can step away and come back without wondering where I was or what I needed to do...which when you are busy with real life is a bonus.
