Critic Reviews
Loop8: Summer of Gods
A social sim without convincing relationship building, an adventure game with messy and disjointed storytelling, and an RPG with boring combat and repetitious stat grinding all rolled into one.
30%Survive a Cruel Summer in Loop8
Your choices shape the world in this coming-of-age RPG. As a new arrival in a 1980s rural Japanese town with a mysterious ability to loop time, your every decision and relationship will affect the outcome of battles against the invading Kegai. Switch version reviewed.Loop8 feels like a game that wants to be more poignant and meaningful than it really is, due in part to problematic pacing issues.
40%Loop8: Summer of Gods Review - A Blunder Of Ideas That Fails To Stand Out On Its Own
Loop8: Summer of Gods tries many ideas but doesn't execute any of them well. Most of the game involves you building your relationship with people who don't even want to help you save the world. Its combat is unrewarding and doesn't even feel like its necessary. Its only saving grace is its great art design and, on most occasions, its voice acting.
