Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“OVIS LOOP is a roguelite game featuring a unique world and combo system.
Creating an action roguelite centered around a new combo system is a challenging endeavor for us. Throughout development, we aim to continually gather feedback from players to optimize and refine the gameplay experience. By doing so, we hope to present a well-balanced and polished game that aligns with our vision and ambitions when transitioning to version 1.0.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are aiming to release the full version of OVIS LOOP approximately one year after the Early Access launch.
However, depending on changes in development direction, the official release date may be adjusted.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“While the full version may undergo significant improvements, it will generally retain the current progression structure of the Early Access version.
Our development focus is on expanding both the quantity and quality of content available to players. The narrative will also continue to be updated throughout Early Access, with ongoing content additions planned during this period.
Our current goals are as follows, though specific plans may change depending on development progress:

- Hard Mode update
- New weapons, skills, and modules
- Weapon upgrade system
- Additional scenario content and new events
- More challenge objectives”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game’s core mechanics are already complete, with a wide variety of combo builds currently available.
At present, the game includes 3 stages and 5 types of weapons, along with a limited version of Hard Mode.
We plan to continuously expand the building elements with additional skills, modules, weapons, and more.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“As OVIS LOOP continues to grow during Early Access, the scope of added content may lead to an increase in the recommended retail price in the future.
This will reflect the enhanced value and player experience brought by new content.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“During Early Access, we are eager to receive and actively respond to feedback.
You can leave feedback via our official Discord server (linked in the game) or engage in discussions on the Steam forums.
We will also monitor other social platforms for feedback.
Based on the input from our player community, we plan to make many changes and improvements.”

A Note from the Developers

Hi everyone! We are LIFUEL, the development team behind Ovis Loop. We are a small team of just three developers, working closely with our wonderful community to build our first game.

If you enjoy fast-paced dynamic combat and satisfying, side-scrolling roguelike action, we hope that you’ll join us in Early Access, to hit the Loop and protect the flock.

While Ovis Loop is our first development journey, we are committed to using our in-depth understanding of action art and our knowledge as players, to develop a high-quality game that you can love as much as we do.

We’re looking to provide continuous two-way communication throughout the Early Access period – while adding new content and optimising all areas of the game. But in addition to this, the community (and your feedback) is so important to us, and we really hope that you will come on this journey as well, to help guide Ovis Loop to its 1.0 launch.

We hope that Ovis Loop delivers a fun, engaging and worthwhile experience, and we hope that you will help us to create this together.

About This Game

Step into a world where combat never has to go the same way twice. Engage the lupine enemy in dynamic combat, with responsive and precise battle controls.

Find a host of ferocious enemies, ranging from the smallest minions to hulking monstrosities – with an army augmented by the despicable Doctor Wolf.

Unlock new weapons, skills and abilities to pick up on each run, but Protectors beware! One wrong move and while Omega will persist through death, any modifications collected will be lost as you hit a new Loop with a fresh loadout – it’s time to steel your woollen form, and protect the flock.

After defeating enemies, players will download and evolve critical skills to help you fight through the Loop. Rather than just acquiring new skills, Ovis Loop gives you the choice between passive and active upgrades for each skill.

Decide to buff the skill you have, or add an additional chained skill to carry on carving your way through Doctor Wolf’s minions. Our skill and combo system allows you to play your way. Focus on strengthening just one skill, or embrace the dynamic force of the chain, it’s up to you.

Each Alpha enemy and Doctor Wolf’s augmented monstrosities provide increasingly difficult challenges as you progress through the Loop. As well as harbouring secrets about Ovis Loop’s world and inhabitants, they also learn from your own playstyle.

Whether you like to charge in, use area of effect or dive in and out, each boss will adapt to meet your challenge. Focus on dodging and find a boss that aggressively pursues. If you prefer to rush in, it’ll retreat to find space.

You define the battle, but each Loop is designed to test you with more than simple pattern recognition. Overcome each challenge through intuitive action and a build that works for you.


An unconventional story, maybe, but this is not the tale you have heard before. As well as powerful new skills and abilities, you’ll uncover secrets about Ovis Loop’s post-apocalyptic world and (more importantly) about our hero Omega. Become the Shepherd, protect your flock, and delve into the mysteries you find in each Loop.

Ovis Loop is the chronicle of just one lone sheep, trapped in a brutal, looping war with a lupine enemy. In this fight, you must stand alone, but Ovis Loop gives you the tools to succeed, for those with wool made of steel.
