The Coming-of-Age RPG 'Loop8: Summer of Gods' is Now Available!

Are you ready to shape the world in a coming-of-age RPG set in 1980s rural Japan? If you said yes to this very specific question, then you are in luck! Loop8: Summer of Gods from Marvelous Inc. and XSEED Games, has officially released on Steam!

We were lucky enough to review the game and while the visuals are awesome and it has a really interesting story, the monotonous visual-novel aspects hold the roguelike ones back, making it feel like a slog at times. It might not have a Verified label, but it is a Best on Deck game that requires no changes to run incredibly well!

Loop8: Summer of Gods is currently on Steam for $50, while the digital deluxe edition is $60 and comes with the soundtrack (which I personally like) and digital artbook.

Loop8: Summer of Gods Features:

Choices That Can Change the World — Loop8’s emotion-driven AI system responds to every action you take and decision you make. Characters’ emotions and stories will vary greatly based on your choices, making each playthrough wholly unique.

A Beautiful Seaside Town Brimming with Mystery — A nostalgic and beautifully recreated snapshot of rural Japan circa 1983, Ashihara is home to a colorful cast of characters, each harboring their own secrets to uncover. Will your choices make them trusted allies…or mortal enemies?

Live an Ordinary Life, Fight Extraordinary Enemies — Build bonds with Ashihara's residents while protecting the town from the ever-present threat of the Kegai, repeating the cycle to uncover how your everyday actions impact your battles in the Underworld, and vice versa.

Relive the Past to Alter the Future — Though the deadline for humanity’s extinction draws ever closer, Ashihara’s fate remains in your hands. Repeatedly return to the start of August, alter your actions, and see how they turn the tides of destiny across multiple endings.
