Games that do delve into timeloops can be interesting with their story and while I only got to experience this loop a handful of times, no two times were the same, with Xiang either running through the conversation, or throwing out the old “I have done this before” line. This is not the end of his story though, as he soon wakes up in his apartment, startled as if it was some sort of dream, only for his phone to ring, asking him to come in for a new mission, the disappearance of a journalist. However, before the investigation can get to much further than Xiang delivering a few well thought out threats, he spies a cat off to the side, but before he can refocus on the target ahead, he is killed. Loopmancer tells the story of Xiang Zixu, a detective who is called in to investigate the disappearance of a famous journalist, after getting the intel he heads to Dragon Town, a location known to be frequented by gangs, including one thug who has risen to the top over the past few years. Yooreka Studio were kind enough to give me some early access to Loopmancer and it was fun. Games that make time a mechanic, can either be amazing or frustrating, but the moment you combine time with the rogue-like genre, things are going to get infinitely more complicated.
