Take to the dungeons with just your trusty backpack and its contents. Doing so in this inventory management roguelike. Backpack Hero lets you jump into the tiny shoes of Purse the Packrat and two brand new characters. Which were only available for Kickstarter backers. Each character possesses a backpack bigger than they are. But there’s still never quite enough room for all the loot.
Backpack Hero is a unique take on the roguelike genre. Players are tasked with venturing through dungeons, taking out enemies, and collecting loot. These heroes have magic backpacks, but they don’t have infinite inventory space. Players must choose their loot carefully to fit everything needed for the journey ahead.
Not only do players have to worry about fitting weapons, health, and more. But in their packs, placement of these items is very important. A misplaced item might mean dead weight in a pack. Since every space is essential in the game. Some items placed adjacent to one another can boost their effects. Other items may require empty spaces around them. Player’s backpack setup skills can make all the difference. Backpack Hero also has players juggling status effects of both their own items and the enemy’s. Certain weapons might give an enemy poison or slowness. Likewise, don’t think that your foes don’t know the same tricks.
