- Small Update - Balancing - 29 March 2021
As you can read here, we recently released an update, that tackled a technical problem. As we already had all the old programs installed, we worked a little more on this three year old title and improved upon the gameplay: Leveling is faster know (a lot!) Nearly all monster have been debuffed ranged targeting improved A short explanation: When we released the game three years ago, we mainly communicated with a quite dedicated community with players that knew the game very well. Consquently, the feedback mostly was: Too easy! Make it harder! After colsing our studio, we noticed, though, that the difficulty was too harsh for new players, yet our team had to dissolve and we couldn't work on updates anymore. With this update we changed the game to a more 'casual' feeling. We think, it improves a lot on the gaming experience. Most of the players didn't get to see all the monster, all the lev…

- Looterkings is Out Of Early Access! - 18 August 2017
Dear Goblins! The elven queen is quite angry with us. The reason being, that we, the small heroic goblins from the mines deep below have finally developed our FULL potential. With numerous weapons, armors and hats, as well as magical cards to boost our strength and speed, we are well-equipment to raid the elven halls and steal any shiny loot that we can carry! Horray! Now, jokes aside: We, the development team of looterkings had a rough last weeks here in Cologne and we are now happy to announce the release of version 1.0 to the public! Because of unfortunate events that came up simultanious to the release we only now are able to publish this news, for example. Nevertheless I wanted to share some information on how development was and what kind of difficulties we had during the process. We are a small team. Or to be precise, we WERE a small team (6 people). This project was, to be hones…

- New Enemies and MiniBosses - 3 March 2017
Hail there, fellow looters! We have been working hard on a new update for looterkings - and it took us some time, we know.

BUT! as for now, we offer you this: 5 new enemies are roaming the dungeons of looterkings, together with minibosses, that can randomly appear on each level. Meet the Ghost Elven King These Mini Bosses are strong an sometimes you will need a certain strategy to defeat them, yet they offer a sparkling reward: Each MiniBoss will drop a kind of orb giving you the change to boost one of the following stats: Life, CritChance, Armor or Damage. Furthermore we introduced the Game-Over-Reward, a kind of starter-gold-bonus for your next run after you died in the dungeons. Depending on how far you got bef…

- UPDATE TO VERSION 0.8 - BOSSFIGHT - 16 December 2016
Dear Goblins and Fellow Looters! We are proud to finally be able to announce that we have moved on to version number 0.8. This means a whole lot of changes, both content and feature-wise. Most important, the fifth level with the first boss-fight is implemented, we integrated the music (although it's still in rough mix) and we have some new enemies. As this is a quite big update, we made a video to show what we have accomplished in these last 4 months of Early Acces - and this is thanks to the people who supported us, gave us valuable feedback and sent in bug-reports. I really want to thank you guys - because this is really, what EARLY ACCESS is all about: To improve the game, to work hard on suggestions from the community and hereby improve the gemaplay. https://youtu.be/PxskM7UzS4w I really hope you enjoy the new changes - we have been quite nervous and anxious to release this update w…

- Big Update! Version 0.7.68 - 20 October 2016
This is a big update, that we have been working on for some time now. Time to do a small recap on how this first two months of Early Access went for us: http://www.looterkings.com/images/MissionCardUpdate_small.jpg 1. A BIG THANK YOU... ...to all you people who bought the game. Let's be honest - we love creating looterkings, but without you actually spending money on our product we wouldn't be able to continue work on this. And although we had some few critical reviews, the overwhelming majority was very enthusiastic and extremely friendly. This gives us some extra motivation on improving the game and we can proudly say that in these two months the game has changed a LOT! 2. IT NEVER WILL GO AS PLANNED... This has been so true for our Early Access. When we released the game we thought, we already were near completion of the feature list. Now, two months later, the gameplay has changed d…
