Loki's Revenge is now bundled with 2 other awesome Survivors-like games made by solo devs!

You can get Loki's Revenge, Black Dragon Mage, and Cozy Space Survivors for 10% off! There's a little extra during the Steam Summer Sale that ends on July 10. The bundle is a "complete the set" bundle, so if you already own any of the games, you get the ones you don't own for a discount!

The wait is over - Loki's Revenge is OUT NOW in Early Access!

Lokis Revenge is a survivors-like roguelite where you play as Norse gods fighting Lokis army of monsters to prevent Ragnarok! Level up to gain powerful upgrades and explore hand-crafted maps to find secrets. Build the ultimate overpowered god with permanent upgrades and master each gods signature ability.

The Early Access version of the game has the following content on day 1:

• 3 playable characters: Thor, Sif, Odin

• Each playable character has a signature Active ability (right click or triggers)

• Permanent meta progression via stat upgrades that affect all characters

• 25+ Boons (stat upgrades, weapon-style boons, status effects, and passives)

• 1 map with hidden secrets, a challenge area, and a final boss

• Achievements (in-game, Steam achievements coming soon)

• Steam Cloud save support

  • If you played the demo - your demo save ports over automatically

• Vengeance levels - the ability to loop a run with harder enemies

There's a ton of content planned for the full version of the game - but I need player feedback to help shape it! I'm a solo dev who's been making this game for a year and a half, so I've certainly got blind spots. The Early Access version represents the starting point after iterating on the demo with players. There's currently a 10% launch discount on the 1.99 USD price. The price will increase as new content gets added in Early Access as a way to be fair to players who support the game early. (Please see the other announcement posts for details)

If you end up buying and playing the game, I'd greatly appreciate your thoughts! Thank you!

Hi everyone! I've gotten some questions about the Early Access launch, pricing, updates, etc. and wanted to make a definitive post here with all the information.

Content in EA and how it differs from the demo

• A new boon, Vampiric Wing, has been added! This boon has a very small % chance to heal you (and fully heal on its final level) every time you hit an enemy with an attack

• Kaun Challenges have been added! There's 1 to find in Midgard for now, but more are planned. These challenges require you to kill a specific number of enemies while standing in a specific area to unlock a new boon. Vampiric Wing is the 1st of these!

• A new Weapon-type boon, Fire Wand, has been added! You can get this from the Bifrost gift when defeating a mini-boss enemy. The fire wand fires a slow-moving fireball at a random enemy. When fully leveled, the fireballs spawn much quicker and deal more damage

• The level cap has been increased from 100 to 1000

• New achievements

• Steam Cloud Save support

• Various bugs have been fixed and tweaks have been made, such as:

  • Fixed a bug where a boon found in the map wouldn't be able to be leveled during that run

  • Fixed a save file bug where the game would've missed new boons added in updates

  • Tweaked the volume and pitch of some SFX

  • Adjusted some VFX, like the level up falling XP gems

  • Increased the number of enemies Odin's spear, Gungnir, pierces to 5

  • Adjusted the hitboxes and sorting of trees in Midgard

Please note that the demo will no longer be available when the full version of the game releases! This is because it's a lot of work to maintain 2 versions of the game that fairly limit the content in the demo, while also representing the current state of the game well.

Content update plan

My intention is to release meaningful updates about once per month. That frequency may vary in either direction based on a variety of factors. If people are finding bugs, I'll try to fix those faster. If I'm not able to make enough changes in a month, I may wait to release an update until I can.

This is the type of content I'd like to update the game with:

• More maps

• More characters

• More boons

• More Kaun challenges

• More bosses and enemy types

• More permanent upgrades to spend gold on

• QoL features like a compendium

• New modes

• New content I'm not even thinking about based on player feedback!

However, to be fully transparent, I can't make specific commitments to the frequency or type of updates for a few reasons:

• Loki's Revenge is a side project for me - I have a full time job and other responsibilities outside of working on the game, which limits how long I can work on it

• I'm a solo developer, so if I can't work on the game, nothing gets added to it

• If the game sells poorly, I frankly can't justify a long timeline of updates when I could be working on new games

No matter what happens, I truly intend to release a 1.0 version of the game and exit Early Access at some point. That could be a couple of months, it could be a year. It totally depends on how the game does after launch.

Pricing plan

• The game will be 1.99 at launch, with a 7-day discount of 10% for early players as an extra thank you

• As the game gets bigger and heads toward 1.0, the price will increase. I'm not 100% sure on the final price, since it will depend on the final content. The goal is to thank players who jump in early by having a reduced price. Whenever a price increase is coming, I'll give plenty of heads up and be very clear about it.

It's official - Loki's Revenge launches in Early Access on June 23, 2025!

Here are some key details:

• The game will be 1.99 at launch, with a 7-day discount of 10% for early players

• There will be a bit more content than the current demo version - some new boons and achievements, some balance tweaks, etc.

• It will support Steam Cloud Saves at launch, with Steam Achievements coming soon

• When the full game releases, the demo will be taken down. It's difficult to maintain both versions of the game as a solo dev, and I don't want players to play a very outdated version of the demo when the game is much farther along.

• My goal is to update the game at least on a monthly basis with new content, but that will depend on what needs to be added

• As the game gets bigger and heads toward 1.0, the price will increase. I'm not 100% sure on the final price, since it will depend on the final content, which will depend on player feedback. The goal is to thank players who jump in early by having a reduced price. Whenever a price increase is coming, I'll give plenty of heads up and be very clear about it.

I'll continue to post announcements here as new details and plans become clear. Until then, enjoy the new Next Fest demo with Odin now playable until launch!

[ 2025-06-09 14:16:34 CET ] [ Original post ]

Exciting news - Loki's Revenge will be participating in Steam Next Fest this month!

[img src="https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images/45130369/355b8ab3b280d5fc202a35516264e28c28174e44.png"][/img]

To celebrate, a new demo update will be available during Next Fest that now has Odin unlockable and playable!

The Allfather himself wields Gungnir, his legendary spear. Odin is built like a glass cannon - he has lower health than Thor and Sif, but has higher attack, weapon speed, etc.

[img src="https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images/45130369/64626721446c1207243b0b3439eca9cb2df38816.gif"][/img]

His active ability spawns his wolves, Geri and Freki, to help mow down enemies. Once spawned, Geri and Freki will bounce across the screen and deal high damage to any enemies they run into along the way. They really help with crowd control when tons of enemies are on screen!

Being in Next Fest also means that the release of the game is also coming soon! I'll share specifics very soon, but just know that the Early Access release of Loki's Revenge is just around the corner!

[ 2025-06-06 13:49:58 CET ] [ Original post ]

The most requested feature is now here - Auto Aim! Auto Aim is now enabled by default, but can be turned off in the Options menu. Thanks for playing!

[ 2025-05-29 13:21:01 CET ] [ Original post ]

Couple of small fixes in this build:

• Fixed an issue where menu buttons were sometimes unresponsive to mouse clicks
• Fixed an issue where the Bifrost Bridge would repeatedly spawn after killing the final boss
• Fixed an issue where the Vengeance level would incorrectly persist after finishing a run
• Fixed an issue where the time survived displayed on the game over screen would incorrectly appear as 0 after winning a run
• Changed the XP requirement at every 10 levels to jump by ~100XP rather than the previous 1000+

That's all for now! More on the way, including auto-aim for the main weapons

[ 2025-05-27 13:21:32 CET ] [ Original post ]

The wait is finally over - Loki's Revenge Demo v0.2 is now LIVE!
This update has been long in the making, and I'm so excited to finally release it. This demo contains:

• 2 Characters: Thor & Sif
• 20+ Boons, 3 levels each
• 1 map - Midgard
• Map contains 5 secret Boons and a final boss
• 10+ Achievements
• Purchasable upgrades for 12 stats, 5 levels each

If you play it, please share any and all feedback! It will help make the final game as good as it can possibly be. Thank you, and have fun!

A LARGE update to the Loki's Revenge Demo is coming soon!

I've been quietly hard at work for the last few months on a very large update to the Loki's Revenge demo that is packed with new content, features, and quality of life changes that are bringing the game much closer to launch. Here's a sneak peak at a small selection of what to expect:

ACHIEVEMENTS

Achievements are now in the game! They're not just feel-good popups either, they're directly tied to unlocking new content in the game. The screenshot above has a super small sample of what to expect - killing a certain number of enemies, surviving for a certain amount of time, or even finding secrets within the levels will unlock new characters and boons to power up your gods.

NEW CHARACTERS

Sif and Odin have been visible in the demo, but not playable for awhile. FINALLY they are unlockable and playable!! They play very differently from Thor - with their own stats, weapons, and abilities. They each feel different enough to suit a different playstyle without any one of them (hopefully) feeling like the obvious best choice.
I'll give a quick sneak-peek at Sif and how she compares to Thor: Sif is bulkier, but weaker than Thor. She starts off with higher health (5 compared to Thor's 3), but is slightly slower, shoots a little slower, and has half the attack that Thor does. However, she also has higher starting knockback to keep enemies away while she collects enough boons to rival Thor's starting strength. Sif, like Thor, also has a powerful ability you can activate. Sif's active ability makes her invincible for a few seconds, and then heals 1 health afterwards. Since enemies back away when they touch the gods, this lets Sif get out of tight situations by pushing enemies away, and then healing some damage.

REDESIGNED LEVEL UP AND BOON SYSTEM

Previously called "upgrades," boons have had more than a name change. They now each have leveled-up versions you can collect. Some boons will have different effects upon level up, so keep a close eye on the description when choosing one! If you've played the demo before, you'll notice that the screen has had a lot of love - it's a MUCH cleaner and thematically appropriate design, much easier on the eyes.

BARRELS

Previously, enemies would drop pickups like chicken legs (recover health) and magnet orbs (collect all XP you haven't picked up yet). Now, barrels will appear throughout the map that you can break for a chance to find a pickup. You may also notice the coin icon in the UI now - coins are the currency you'll collect to buy upgrades for your gods after a run. Coins can appear in these barrels, and how often you find them is dependent on your Luck stat!

FINALLY - SAVE FILES

Last thing to mention is a basic one - your progress is now saved! You can see the debug button I've been using to test the system on the revamped main menu here. Your progress is automatically saved anytime an important event happens (unlocked an achievement, ended a run, etc.) The system is also being built so that it's possible to import your demo save to the full version of the game if you want! That's all for now! There's plenty more I haven't called out, like the new CRT filter, new enemies, new boons, new secrets, and more. The demo update is coming pretty soon with even more than I've shown off here. Thanks for following!

[ 2025-03-29 17:22:29 CET ] [ Original post ]

The Loki's Revenge Demo update v0.1.4 is now live! It's been a little bit since the last demo update (lots of big life stuff), but this is a major one for the game so far.

Changes

• In-level upgrades - you can now find unique upgrades hidden in the map! There are currently 5 hidden upgrades - can you find them all?
• Finding an upgrade in the map will unlock it in the normal pool on subsequent runs (note: only within the same session. Closing the game and re-opening will reset the upgrades, since saving is not available in the demo yet)
• Added an Area stat - this controls the area of effect for damage-dealing weapons
• Poop now scales with Area rather than Pickup Range
• Fixed a number of bugs related to UI scaling, wrapping, etc.

[ 2025-01-16 15:21:37 CET ] [ Original post ]

Thanks for playing the Loki's Revenge demo! In update v0.1.3, there's a few minor fixes and tweaks:

• Added a moving background texture to the Character Select and Options screens
• Adjusted the player hit effect
• Fixed a bug where Andvaranaut was subtracting 1 from max health
• Made it clearer that Odin and Sif are not yet available in the demo
• Adjust player and enemy colliders/hitboxes/hurtboxes based on player feedback
• Fixed a bug where the player could only take damage from any given enemy once and then never again (i.e. Enemy A damages player, can never be damaged by Enemy A again)

That's all for this time - thanks!

[ 2024-10-27 21:07:44 CET ] [ Original post ]

The Loki's Revenge Demo update v0.1.2 is now live! This update comes with the following changes and fixes based on player feedback:

Changes

• Manual attacking has been removed and replaced with auto-attacking with aiming on mouse cursor
• Related to the above: ammo has been removed from the game, all attacks occur on cooldown
• Changed the "Shot Cooldown" stat to "Cooldown" which now affects all weapon upgrades
• Removed Reload Cooldown and Ammo stats
• Removed the aim reticle, now default Windows mouse cursor displays
• Move speed penalty on shooting removed
• Removed camera lean on aiming with mouse cursor
• Updated the tutorial text
• Updated text related to the above changes
• Rebalanced Thor and Mjolnir's stats
• Reduced Hraesvelgr's Feather from +25% weapon speed to +10%

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where run stats would not clear when returning to the Main Menu from the Game Over/Win screen, causing the next run to complete after killing 1 enemy

That's all for now - stay tuned for future updates that will add more characters, upgrades, and meta progression!

[ 2024-10-25 14:42:38 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hello - thank you all for playing the Loki's Revenge demo! I've released a minor patch update that fixes the following issues:

• Main menu button on the Game Over/Win screen was broken
• "Wishlist on Steam" button was incorrectly appearing on the Options menu during gameplay

That's all for now! Thanks for playing, and please share any feedback you have!

[ 2024-10-21 21:21:50 CET ] [ Original post ]

The Loki's Revenge Demo is available NOW! I hope you enjoy this small slice of what the full-game will have to offer. Play as Thor and try to take down 500 enemies. I hope you enjoy the demo and look forward to any and all feedback!
