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 Provides More Frustration Than Fun (Switch)
While Loop8: Summer of Gods is a JRPG that has an interesting concept and some genuinely good features, the game is unfortunately bogged down with poor optimizations, questionable gameplay decisions, and a very painful combat system.
