It’s a recognizable system that should work all on its own, but the game’s paltry bestiary and poor combat feedback compromise this promise.

There’s actually no line-clearing gameplay whatsoever, so Loot River’s Tetris inspirations are concentrated on basic movement mechanics alone.

Loot River starts off with a rush, zipping around on speedy platforms through gritty pixelated waterlogged dungeons, but that excitement is quickly muted.
