Loop Hero

Metacritic

A Lich's world has been plunged into chaos, and only you can restore it by placing enemy types, buildings, and terrain on a hero's path. Strategic placement allows your automa-tous hero to defeat monsters, gain loot, and slowly rebuild reality.

A native macOS version of this unique endless RPG is available on Steam. The Mac build is Intel-only (x86_64) and runs on Apple Silicon through Rosetta 2 translation — it's a Mac app, but not a true arm64 native one. Expect a ~10–15% performance tax versus a real native port.
