Loot Run

Loot Run is a linear RPG with an 8–10-hour story. You build a custom skill set and learn its mechanics while fighting enemies one at a time in fast-paced combat. Movement is limited to avoiding obstacles.

Characters and story

The story features five characters:

• Anora: A mysterious young woman appears in the middle of nowhere as strange events unfold in the kingdom. Her connection to them is uncertain.
• Carthage: A peerless combatant and commander of the Kingdom Army, he must decide whether to carry out the king’s purge order when faced with containing a dangerous plague.
• Drax: A fearless, strong warrior who wields a battle axe bearing an inscription he wrote himself. His intelligence is less notable than his strength.
• Malak: The head of the kingdom’s intelligence network, he prefers to avoid confrontation and work behind the scenes.
• Nathaniel: The youngest member of the kingdom’s elite force, he combines combat skill with snarky confidence.

Skills and equipment

You assign six skills to your skill bar from a pool of 36 unlockable skills. Each has different strengths, weaknesses and synergies; some demand a high skill cap, while others can be used more freely. Specialization choices and gear selection add further depth, with hundreds of gear pieces ranging from Common to Legendary. Equipped gear is graphically represented on your hero, and you can also find unique weapons and unlock skins.

The game includes 50 quests and challenging boss battles. Its story is accompanied by orchestral music.

Endless mode

After completing the story, you can enter Endless mode or Hardcore mode. Endless mode sends your character into the Abyss to face increasingly difficult days of enemy waves. You build a gear and skill setup to survive, with further progress unlocking rewards, extra challenges and achievements.

Hardcore mode

Hardcore mode starts you at the beginning of the story with nothing. Enemies are harder, gear drops are less powerful, you cannot quit mid-level, and you can change skills only after boss battles. Death is permanent, so a new Hardcore character must start from the beginning.

Completing the story in Hardcore unlocks Hardcore Endless mode. Unlike normal Endless, it does not let you store extra gear, farm or maximize specializations. Instead, you adapt to what you find, swapping skills and gear as needed to survive. When your character dies, you can start again with different loot and skill choices and try to climb higher on the Hardcore leaderboard.
