Hi Friends! I know it was some time since our last update - and I apologize. Don't worry, we are still working on Loot River! Sadly our currently planned update is just a little bit bigger than expected and takes a little bit more time than we anticipated. We are working on a Level Editor - design your own levels in game and share them with other players! We hoped to bring this to you before Ch…

Hi friends, Great news - the Daily Runs are finally live! After securing your first Victory or Escape (on any profile), the new Daily Run mode becomes available! It’s exactly the same daily dungeon for all players. There are random weapons, mods, spells items, possibly even items not unlocked in the main game, all to ensure all players have the same gameplay conditions. Score at least one Victo…
- Added Daily Runs: Daily Runs can be started from the Load menu after securing at least one Victory or Escape - Reworked level loading system: Loading should be a bit faster now - Entrance to the Divide becomes auto unlocked after some time: Many users have trouble finding Karla and the Divide, so now this area is accessible after several runs even without having Gantley in the level - Fixed a…
Hi friends, After some time spent on fixing bugs, polish, and other improvements (and summer holidays!), we are now excitedly moving into content production again. There are two important additions in this update: 1. New Enemy Type - Protector Mage, with the ability to shield nearby enemies from damage until their demise. This AI behavior changes the hierarchy of combat, forcing you to better t…
- added Protector enemy - low spawn chance in all levels, protects nearby enemies - added variations for boss arenas of The Usurper and The First One, so they change each run - various small tweaks and bugfixes
Hi friends, We added leaderboards in our most recent update! See how you compare to fellow travelers. Your best times in both Victory and Escape modes are now recorded. If the time is achieved in New Game +, the entry has a little + sign as well. We hope you dig it, tell your friends! The design of the new leaderboards is still being tweaked so they might change a tiny bit in the near future. W…

Hi friends, Our 11th and latest update brings a much-requested feature! When you die, your dead body now gets pulled into the next world with you. Discovering your corpse will let you recover your last weapon and 1/3rd of the knowledge that would have been lost when you got whacked. It feels very cool and we really hope you like it. And while we had to take a few days off last week to recover f…

It’s only been three weeks since Loot River was released. It was a rocky start for sure! Thankfully the community has been phenomenal. You rock. You helped us figure out and fix a bunch of issues we sadly missed (sorry about that!). Really, a big thank you to everyone who reached out. The outpouring of support has been wonderful. Our reviews are also looking more positive! After the last few pa…

It’s been a wild time since Loot River was released. To be honest, the launch didn’t go as well as we hoped. We spent the last week hunkered down, just frantically fixing and shipping patches for some of the problems you brought up in your reviews. Although a bunch of you have had loads of fun playing Loot River, there are many of you who didn't - and for valid reasons. We’ve seen amazing, hear…

Hey everyone! First and foremost thank you for the warm reception of our game :) We're getting great wishlist numbers and it's a really nice motivation to work even harder to deliver the best version of Loot River possible!

We're so happy to finally show this game to everyone - it's been in development in secret for what feels like forever, and I can't wait to see what you think about it's mechanics. Set in a series of procedurally generated labyrinths, Loot River is a dungeon-crawling action roguelike that combines the tense, real-time combat and dark fantasy stylings of Dark Souls with the spatial block-shifting…
