If you read our Loop Hero review yesterday and now find yourself itching to give it a go, you might want to consider picking up one of its newly-available physical editions.
Pre-orders have now opened for two different physical editions of the game over on Special Reserve Games. The standalone copy will set you back $29.99, while a fancier, numbered collectors edition throws in an instruction booklet, special art card, special packaging, and jacket artwork for $44.99.
If you missed it yesterday, here's just a snippet of what we said in our review:
Loop Hero proves to be a fascinating and creative take on an RPG, distilling the genre down to its most important gameplay elements and throwing in some fresh ideas. Though some may be put off by the obviously repetitive nature of the core gameplay, Loop Hero is a consistently rewarding and engaging game that’ll easily get its hooks in you. The light deckbuilding elements, anti-tower defense gameplay, and solidly paced loot system make Loop Hero easy to love and we’d give this one a high recommendation to anyone interested in trying something a little different.
If that's not enough to get you hyped for the game, Devolver Digital has also shared this new animated trailer showcasing some of the trials that await you in the loop:
Tempted to grab one of those physical editions? Have you already been playing it digitally from the eShop? Let us know in the usual place.

Just tried this game out last night, it's a lot of fun! I do wish some of the early progression was a bit faster, but the game does reward you with faster progression the more loops you manage to do in a single expedition. Maybe if there was a few more options of cards early on it would make the early game feel more varied.
I'm glad that they're releasing a physical version for those who'd prefer it but this is the sort of game that I prefer to have downloaded so I can pick it up for a run or two in-between other games without swapping cartridges each time.
I'm having a lot of fun with it so far. Still early days with it but I just know it's gonna eat my weekend
@BenAV Agree with this. I got a physical version of Slay the Spire but should have gone digital because I play it all the time!
There postage to the UK has become head scratchingly expensive. This and Deaths Door, 42 US dollars. Only 6 months ago it was half this, I don't get it but gritted my teeth this time and made the purchase. Could be my last from this company sadly.
I’m really glad so many people enjoy this game! I love indies (especially nindies of course). But, man, this is not the game for me. It feels like just watching an auto-battler for ages. I don’t get it, much as I’d like to
@Longondo I have multiple reserve editions from SRG, all are fantastic and well worth the wait. They don't begin production till after the pre-orders are placed, so it takes some time.
