New Roguelike Ovis Loop Offers a Clever Spin on Combat, Reminiscent of Dead Cells

Sure! Here’s a more humanized version:

Alright, so, picture this: you’re diving into this action game, right? And let’s be real, if they’re gonna make you grind through levels again and again, the combat better be up to snuff. It’s like, why do folks adore Dead Cells, Hades 2, Returnal, and Rogue Legacy 2? Because slicing stuff up, flinging projectiles, or just plain dodging feels oddly satisfying. Like, even when you fail epically, you still wanna jump back in. Totally seems like the deal with Ovis Loop, too. It’s a new kid on the block with some killer combat you can check out right now—shoutout to Steam playtests for making life interesting.

So what’s the lowdown on Ovis Loop? It’s a roguelike that’s got its own quirky charm — imagine a badass robot sheep going toe-to-toe with killer wolves. Seriously. And this sheep’s packing heat in the form of… a giant sword? I laughed a bit at that, but hey, it’s unexpected! Plus, it’s like Pokémon meets Magic: The Gathering with that deckbuilding-style thing. You “download” skills from foes you beat. I mean, talk about learning on the job!

But here’s the kicker, dude. If you bite the dust, all your snazzy gear and sweet skills are toast. Poof. Gone. So every level feels like walking a tightrope, and you gotta play around with those combat strategies like your life depends on it. Spoiler: it does.

Ovis Loop’s supposed to drop sometime this year. You can totally wishlist it on Steam if that’s your thing. Or, who am I kidding — maybe I’m just obsessing over it because the whole vibe is so off the wall? Anyway, there are other games in that lane if you’re curious, and I’ve got the deets on the best action and indie games on PC right now if you’re game.

Oh, and just FYI, we’re all over Google News with PC game updates and reviews — shameless plug, I know. Plus, there’s a chill Discord server where you can geek out with us about this. Why not?
