replayability3 negative mentions
  • Looterkings offers a fun and chaotic co-op experience where players can enjoy the absurdity of being goblins, complete with humorous mechanics like stacking on top of each other for combined abilities.
  • The game features a playful art style and engaging sound design that enhances the overall comedic tone, making it enjoyable to play with friends.
  • The procedural generation of dungeons and the variety of weapons and abilities provide a level of replayability that keeps the gameplay fresh and entertaining.
  • The game is heavily unbalanced for solo play, making it frustratingly difficult for players who attempt to enjoy it alone or with fewer than four players.
  • Progression feels slow and repetitive, with players only unlocking one item per level, which can lead to a grindy experience that detracts from the fun.
  • Technical issues, such as server connectivity problems and occasional performance hiccups, hinder the multiplayer experience, making it difficult to find matches or play with friends.
  • gameplay
    47 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay combines roguelike mechanics, procedural dungeon generation, and cooperative elements, creating a chaotic multiplayer experience that encourages both teamwork and friendly sabotage. While the unique stacking mechanic and various weapons offer entertaining moments, many players find the combat repetitive and the gameplay loop stagnant, particularly in solo play. Overall, the game has potential but requires significant improvements to its core mechanics and pacing to enhance player engagement.

    • “It aims to combine roguelike mechanics, procedural dungeon generation, and cooperative gameplay into a chaotic multiplayer experience where teamwork and treachery often coexist in equal measure.”
    • “The most distinctive mechanic allows players to stack on top of one another, forming literal goblin towers.”
    • “The cooperative mechanics encourage both teamwork and friendly sabotage, leading to moments of unplanned hilarity that make each run memorable.”
    • “Boring gameplay loop, enemies are sponges; got it for $1, still not worth it.”
    • “The gameplay gets stagnant very very quickly.”
    • “The enemies are fast-moving tanks, meaning gameplay is literally just running around hoping something eventually will die.”
  • humor
    33 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is praised for its playful and irreverent humor, particularly through its absurd goblin protagonists and slapstick scenarios that arise from its unique stacking mechanic. Players find the cooperative chaos both hilarious and engaging, making it a fun experience, especially in multiplayer settings. However, the humor may not resonate as strongly when playing alone, as the game's charm heavily relies on shared laughter and camaraderie among friends.

    • “The game immediately stands out for its playful concept and tongue-in-cheek humor, embracing the inherent absurdity of goblins as protagonists and infusing every moment with slapstick energy.”
    • “Its irreverent humor, goblin-centric charm, and emphasis on cooperation make it a refreshing twist on a genre often dominated by stoic heroes and grim settings.”
    • “The stacking feature, in particular, creates scenarios where coordination quickly devolves into chaos, often with disastrous but hilarious results.”
  • graphics
    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are characterized by a colorful, cartoonish art style that effectively captures the atmosphere of a goblin underworld, featuring moody lighting and detailed textures, particularly on goblin models. While some environments may feel repetitive and the overall polish varies, many players find the visuals charming and appealing, with a mix of well-crafted and less impressive elements. Overall, the graphics are a standout feature, offering a unique aesthetic that sets the game apart from others in its genre.

    • “The visuals are cartoonish yet surprisingly atmospheric, with moody lighting and grimy environments that feel appropriately filthy for a goblin underworld.”
    • “The graphics are surprisingly alluring, and the enemies are diverse.”
    • “The art style is fun and colorful and visually pleasing.”
    • “The visuals, while charming, aren’t particularly polished, and some environments feel repetitive after multiple sessions.”
    • “The graphics aren't great; the controls are a bit wonky.”
    • “It's got the graphics and sound design for a game made for toddlers.”
  • music
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally described as limited and repetitive, with a few playful orchestral tracks that enhance the comedic tone but are mostly confined to the main menu. Many players noted the absence of in-game music, leading to a feeling of emptiness during gameplay. Overall, while some found the soundtrack decent, it lacks variety and memorability.

    • “The soundtrack adds to the comedic flair, with playful orchestral tunes and ambient dungeon sounds that shift between eerie and whimsical.”
    • “Sound - the music and sound effects in LooterKings are good, but very limited in scope.”
    • “+ decent music”
    • “It's cartoony but nothing to remember... I didn't notice the music.”
    • “No in-game music to speak of, and the menu music just repeats the same track.”
    • “Overall, the few sounds and lack of music in-game leave the game feeling a bit lonely and empty.”
  • replayability
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Replayability is mixed; while the game's humor and cooperative chaos can motivate players to return, the lack of dynamic variation in early runs may deter some. The potential for high replayability exists through adjustable difficulty and randomly generated rooms, but players express a desire for additional content and features to enhance long-term engagement. Overall, the game's replay value may diminish over time without further updates.

    • “High replayability and depending on how serious you want to play, you can lower the difficulty in a way that the enemies don't get easier but losing is less frustrating.”
    • “As for the replay value, the rooms are randomly generated each time, so none of your runs will be the same.”
    • “The lack of dynamic variation in early runs means that replayability suffers unless you’re motivated by the humor and cooperative mayhem.”
    • “Even at $17.99, I would say the game is worth it; I just hope the devs continue to add content, because eventually it will lose its replay value.”
    • “Some sort of level-based stat or ability increase, or better starting weapon options, or even being able to keep one item, would all add to the replayability.”
  • atmosphere
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere is characterized by cartoonish visuals that effectively create a moody and immersive experience, featuring grimy environments that authentically reflect the gritty nature of a goblin underworld.

    • “The visuals are cartoonish yet surprisingly atmospheric, with moody lighting and grimy environments that feel appropriately filthy for a goblin underworld.”
    • “The haunting soundtrack perfectly complements the eerie silence of the abandoned ruins, creating a sense of isolation that immerses you in the game world.”
    • “Every corner of the game is filled with intricate details that enhance the atmosphere, making you feel like you're truly part of a living, breathing world.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's optimization is generally positive, with most players experiencing smooth performance after minor adjustments. However, some users have reported occasional performance hiccups and connectivity issues during multiplayer sessions. Despite these issues, the game remains enjoyable, especially in a group setting.

    • “After a few adjustments, it runs smoothly. Overall, a fun game with friends; small but enjoyable.”
    • “Yes, bright, colorful, cheesy, and runs smoothly.”
    • “There are also reports of occasional performance hiccups and minor connectivity issues during multiplayer sessions.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players note that the game requires a significant investment of time for grinding, especially when playing solo, as it can take hours to progress beyond the initial stages. While the grind can be tedious, many appreciate the humor and engaging elements reminiscent of the minions from Overlord, suggesting that having a teammate can enhance the experience.

    • “You'll be grinding for hours before you're able to last more than 1 floor.”
    • “Let me start this one off by saying that you'll have to be a bit of a 'grindy' person, and preferably want at least one teammate to play this with, as you're missing out on a bunch of things when going in solo.”
    • “The progression is a bit grindy, but the humor is great and kind of reminds me a lot of the minions from Overlord.”
  • story
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of Looterkings revolves around a charming goblin protagonist on a humorous and stressful quest to loot across four distinct levels, with the promise of additional content in the future. The game's narrative combines lighthearted elements with cooperative gameplay, enhancing the overall experience.

    • “Looterkings is an RPG co-op game set in four humorous, yet stressful levels (so far, more will be added), and you play as a beautiful goblin on a quest to loot.”
