Montreal team's Poly Fighter is the roguelike fighting game you've been waiting for
We sat down with new Canadian indie studio HeartLoop to unpack its ambitious debut title.
We also talked about how HeartLoop started during, as Osama puts it, "arguably the hardest time ever to start a studio." We got a bit into how they're looking to navigate that while advocating for a better industry.
A very promising game with a lovely team behind it -- I'm really rooting for them!
