BARDA: Backpack Roguelike

I won't refund because i believe that small indie gems like this deserve the players' support (besides, the game costs only 9$ ...). That being said, content is just way too slim and that's doing a disservice to the game. There's a lot of upgrades and items that most players will never interact with, just because the game is over so quickly. I finished the story first try on the demo build, then purchased the full game to see what else is available, and after losing a run, finished the story again. So in the span of only 2 hours (1 on the demo, 1 on the full build), i did 3 runs, 2 of which went all the way to the end. Sure, there's the infinite weekly challenge, but honestly, i believe the game would greatly benefit from a content update that would add new biomes, maybe some with higher difficulty. I would gladly spend more time on things that requires more tries, and make metaprogression actually useful (again, at the moment, you can easily finish the game without purchasing any of the upgrades, so it doesn't really feel like a "roguelite" in that sense). The music is great, the art is great, the core gameplay is nice, the item variety is good, the metaprogression system is robust, ... everything is there for the player to sink dozens of hours into the game, except for content. So TLDR : Great little gem, would definitely recommend it just because you can tell a lot of effort went into it, but held back by its lack of content.

https://youtu.be/E4xdIAETD2k Roguelike simples, charmoso e tranquilo onde você precisa apenas fazer escolhas e gerenciar o equipamento em sua mochila, consegui quase terminar na primeira jogada, não fosse um erro sério que cometi. E aí que mora o desafio do jogo, prestar atenção e não subestimar os desafios. (Recebi uma key pra análise do desenvolvedor)

Je suis vraiment devenue accro à ce jeu !! J'ai acheté BARDA pendant son Early Access, parce que le concept m'intriguait énormément ! Je suis tout simplement fan de la manière dont le jeu place l'inventaire au système du gameplay ! Chaque nouvelle salle nous pousse à complétement réorganiser notre sac, en gardant seulement les objets nécessaire et en plaçant/pivotant le plus judicieusement possible pour réussir à faire tenir un maximum d'objets ! J'adore lancer une run entre deux sessions de taff, et même si j'ai déjà à peu près vu tout le contenu du jeu, toutes mes runs sont relativement bien différentes à l'heure actuelle ! En plus je pense que je me lasserai jamais de la DA ou de la bande son, je suis trop de bonne humeur à chaque fois que j'ouvre le jeu ! Donc bref si vous hésitez je vous recommande à fond d'essayer ! Peut être que vous vous ferrez pas autant absorbée par le jeu que moi mais il y a de très grande chance que vous passiez de très bon moments !

游戏性不错，但感觉需要优化呀 这么个小游戏笔记本风扇也能转嘛

难得居然有中文了，当时刚发布没中文，对画面的好感都被消耗了。 没法保存是缺点

Magnifique petit jeu original, bon roguelike avec metaprogression. Il manque quelque QOL (ex: pas de sauvegarde durant une run) mais j'ai confiance que les devs tenterons de nous offrir une meilleur expérience. Pour le prix c'est un bon achat. Il manque cependant de raison de recommencer une partie une fois l'ascension accomplie. (A part compléter la meta prog) Une fois terminer on recommence en bas avec le même but ou une weekly run. #d'heure gonfler par du temps afk invonlontaire 😅

I have received this game for free through a campaign for content creators. I didn't have so much love for a game since Dicefolk, only one complaint - too short ;c (Ik early access gonna be more with time, can't wait) Beautiful game, amazing vibe, good roguelite, but very short. As long as more content will be added - 100% must have.

Très joli jeu un peu retors sous ses aspects paisibles, la montagne me résiste mais je vais y retourner avec plaisir !

Unique roguelike game, it is a bit confusing at the start as the progression is not align with the guide. But overall has huge potential. Like the arts and the concept. Hopefully more content released

As someone who covered BARDA during both its demo phase and its Early Access journey, I've had the chance to watch this game grow step by step—and seeing where it has arrived with its 1.0 release is honestly incredible. First of all, I want to highlight something that makes me especially proud: BARDA is made by a French development team, and it's genuinely inspiring to see so much talent and creativity on display. The indie scene is full of passionate developers, and BARDA is a fantastic example of what can happen when a team fully commits to a unique vision. The evolution of the game has been remarkable. From the early versions I played to the polished experience available today, the amount of work, refinement, and care put into every update is obvious. The developers didn't just add content—they continuously improved the overall experience, resulting in a game that feels complete, confident, and incredibly well-crafted. What makes BARDA stand out is its ability to innovate while remaining relaxing and enjoyable to play. It takes familiar roguelike and inventory-management concepts and transforms them into something fresh, satisfying, and uniquely its own. Few indie games manage to carve out such a distinct identity. There's also something incredibly rewarding about seeing an independent project evolve over time and successfully reach its full potential. Having followed this journey from the demo to version 1.0, I can confidently say that the final result exceeded my expectations. A huge congratulations to the entire team for creating such a beautiful, innovative, and relaxing indie experience. Seeing the game reach this point has been a pleasure, and I can't wait to see what these talented developers create next.
