Backpack Hero

The game is great, optimizing the backpack is way more fun than I thought it would be. Characters and dialog are fun. But the meat of the game, dungeon crawling and optimizing your build, that's fantastic. At 10 hours in I felt I was still having plenty of fun. Now I'm at 15 and I see a few more of the cracks, but it's still great regardless. Controller support is there, but wonky at best and problematic at worst. Keyboard and mouse is really the way to go. (Though I play primarily on steam deck.) The town you rebuild while outside of the dungeons is a bit half baked. It's really large and navigating to multiple buildings (and scrolling through menus) to unlock things is a bit tedious. There's an upgrade later than consolidates the buildings into one (town hall), but the controller interface breaks on it so I end up going to the buildings separately anyway. As another review mentioned: "Do NOT complete the "Wizard School" or the "Archery Lessons" task/adventure run if you don't want your item pool to be completely clogged with items you'll never want!" I did do Archery Lessons and found it fun, but haven't used Archery since then. The wands in "Wizard School" add an entirely new mechanic that is just confusing. As far as controller woes: - Combat rewards float outside of your backpack and the control stick doesn't always want to move outside the backpack to select an item. - The cursor "jumps" to the center of items, but if the item doesn't have a sprite in the center (like a "wings" item) the info popup doesn't show up. - When you save your game in the dungeon the save button is overlayed on top of your backpack. When you click "save game" the game also clicks the item under the menu in your backpack, making it "float." If you then change rooms that "floating" item is discarded, which has led me to needing to reload the save I just made several times. - Town Hall menu just breaks. Selecting something to unlock just causes the screen to flicker and doesn't spend the item. I would expect these issues to be fixed in time, and the game is very playable as-is, so I recommend it.

存档很会藏

游戏是好游戏，但是能不能修复一下会消失的岔路口那里保存存档的bug啊，我总是习惯性战斗前保存，已经因为岔路口bug坏掉两个存档了，两个号加起来玩了快两百小时，你跟我说两个号的存档全没了要重头玩，太过分了吧，还有一个问题，那个青蛙也太难玩了吧，英雄强度和装备做的平衡性太差了，后期怪物的强度基本固定了只有少数几个成体系的流派才能打的过

This game was made on Kickstarter, realized MANY of its stretch-goals, and did not fulfill them. The developer just took off with the money and did not keep his/her promises. The game is missing characters and other goodies that were promised with proper funding. Monies given, promises not delivered. And for that it recieves my thumbs down. =-=-=-=-= A very addictive town-building sim slash rogue-like with a fun gimmick. Your inventory is VERY limited and how it is arranged affects your stats. Some armor is better sitting next to other armor bits. Helms are better in the top row. Some items don't work at all if they're not placed properly. Some weapons do more damage when placed properly or near agreeing items. Its super, super addictive and I had a blast playing it. The game is very unclear on how to progress, though. When you die you get to bring one thing back with you and you can use it in upgrade recipes, sell it for scrap to the build the town, etc. If you take a quest (which makes for a much shorter and easier dungeon run) and make it back, you get to keep everything. Every building in town is a complex web of upgrades, unlocks and so on. I had an absolute blast figuring out how I wanted to place decorations, paths, buildings and so on so my town was just right. I loved it! This is a great game. Its very addictive and challenges you to find just the right combo of items. If you love inventory management and have to scratch that "I have so much stuff and so little space" itch you get from MMO's and Diablo-likes, this is the game to play! A great experience!

This is a fun little game where you rearrange your inventory to maximize attack and defense bonuses. And then it gets tricky. You unlock more items and characters as you delve into the dungeon and rebuild your town. So you've discovered magic? Well, if you want to use it, you're going to need to devote a chunk of your precious inventory space to mana stones to power it. Oh cool, archery! Oh no you need so much empty space to shoot arrows. And it all works. And you'll mix and match every run. There are five characters, each with a different core mechanic that drastically changes how you play. But never so much as to feel unfamiliar. They struck a good balance. The game is not particularly difficult. In my 70 hours I unlocked and upgraded everything and only failed a handful of runs. It looks like now that I've beaten the final boss there are new harder run options, so if you want increased difficulty you could speed run to the boss a lot faster and unlock those. My only issue is the game could do with a QoL/polish pass. Theres nothing broken, and nothing that would make me not recommend the title, just some misc things could be a little cleaner/easier.

Juego incompleto con precio de juego indie, aparte de ser un juego abandonado por sus desarrolladores, realmente si buscas una experiencia corta, de una partida simple, intentar pasarlo me parece bien (no por el precio pero cada quién), ya si te lo tomas un poco enserio, tratas de hacer los retos o tan siquiera tener una partida de más de un loop, realmente te decepcionarás con rapidez, esta plagado de bugs, la cantidad de mecánicas es la suficiente para tener potencial pero del cual se usan en 10 items cada una y repites. El juego tuvo demasiado apoyo tanto antes como ahora, me decepciona el estado en el cual esta actualmente

This game is quite good, and a very fun time for those of us who love to organize their inventory. Really fun gameplay, nice artstyle, decent enough story mode, its all good! Only real issue is that the previously mentioned story mode is uh...exceptionally buggy, and frankly unclear when it comes to progressing. Nowhere in the game does it say you need to complete specific tutorials before allowing you to progress the story, and it locks you down if you say TOOOOOOOTALLY just an example, ignore the robot who you dont care about in the slightest and just keep trying runs with the main character in an attempt to actually progress the story for like 10 hours until you decide to look up why the hell the story isnt progressing. Now, thats an issue with story clarity, which would have been solved if I was the slightest bit curious about CR-8, but whats not acceptable is that the story mode is rather buggy. I've encountered resources just kinda going missing, an NPC just flat NEVER showing up locking all the items/quests/abilities associated with said character away forever. Its an issue, and according to what I've seen online its an issue thats been a problem for years and was never actually addressed. With all this said, the Quick Run mode is totally fine. I havent experienced any bugs in the actual Rogue-like mode, which is the majority of the game play, which is a definite bonus. As of writing this I have about 95 hours in the game, and during those hours I havent once ran into a bug during the actual gameplay loop of dungeon delving. The game had enough life in it for me to enjoy nearly 100 hours of it, and I even decided to go all the way and get all the achievements as well. Its a very enjoyable game, and Id recommend it to anyone thats fans of inventory management or roguelikes. A very nice 8/10.
