Loot River devs "messed up" but will work to improve game, add actual loot
Crossing you in style someday, just not today
Loot River, the pixely roguelike with a bit of Souls and a bit of Tetris, is all about making multiple attempts to navigate weird dungeons made of moving platforms, before dying and starting again. It's one of those games that's perfect for Game Pass, at least in its current form, but that's going to be changing in a small bit, according to a post …

The Vatican City, 1146 AD, and 90 years into a game of Crusader Kings III.
