A tactical roguelike built around loops, cards, and long-term decision-making
January 19, 2026 — Kingdom Loop is an upcoming tactical roguelike that blends loop-based progression with turn-based strategy and deckbuilding. The free demo is available now on PC via Steam, giving players an early look at its core systems ahead of a planned full release later in 2026.
Developed by independent studio RootGame and published by Ultimate Games S.A., Kingdom Loop takes inspiration from loop-driven roguelikes while leaning heavily into classic strategic design. Each run is built around long-term planning rather than speed or reflexes, rewarding players who think several turns ahead.

Where loop-based progression meets turn-based tactics
At its core, Kingdom Loop revolves around an endless path circling a central Grail Temple. Players guide a hero around this loop, placing terrain tiles using cards to shape the world, influence encounters, and build an economy that can survive increasingly dangerous enemy waves.

Kingdom Loop
Release: 2026 (date TBA)
Genre: Tactical Roguelike, Turn-Based Strategy, Deckbuilding
Developer / Publisher: RootGame / Ultimate Games S.A.
Platforms: PC — Steam
Each completed loop makes the game harder. Enemies scale, resources become tighter, and poor decisions compound quickly. Failure is expected — and encouraged — as each run teaches new synergies, strategies, and deck combinations that carry forward into future attempts.
Combat, factions, and strategic depth
Combat in Kingdom Loop is fully turn-based and highly tactical. Unit positioning, target priority, and faction abilities all play a critical role. The game features multiple factions — including humans and the undead — each with distinct traits that dramatically change how encounters unfold.
Across the full game, players will have access to eight heroes in total, each with unique abilities and playstyles. Combined with heavy randomness in card draws, tile effects, and artifact drops, no two runs are meant to play the same.

Release plans
The full PC version of Kingdom Loop is planned for release in the first half of 2026, with console versions scheduled to follow on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo’s next platform. No final release date has been announced yet.
