![]() ![]() There are battles, chests and shops all waiting to be discovered down in the depths, and although you never have to investigate everything (and are often forced to pick one of two paths) it’s always worth the risk to make Purse stronger.Įven early on in the game I was really impressed with the variety of viable gear options available to you in Backpack Hero. Navigating the dungeon is rather simple really, and just involves you clicking on the room you want to enter which has a handy icon telling you what’s inside. It’s worth dealing with these issues to get an unbeatable build on a run though, especially with boss fights lurking around every corner. Often more powerful gear will have certain traits that affect how it’s placed in your inventory too, like heavy items that sink to the bottom no matter where you stack them or floating items that do the opposite. Sometimes an item will come along that ruins your painstakingly arranging backpack though, but will be too powerful to pass up. Nothing feels better than figuring out the perfect way to boost your power with a well arranged bag, and it’s never too overwhelming a task because everything you need to solve these inventory puzzles is visible on the screen at once. There are also gems that give a boost to the attack of all adjacent weapons, and pieces of leather armour that do the same for helmets and gloves. For example a helmet might only give you extra block if placed at the top of your backpack, or a pair of shoes might give you bonus block for every space above it in the ever expanding bag. What’s really interesting about Backpack Hero though is that the placement of the items in your backpack often dictates their power. This means you’ll have more room to fit in various keys, single use potions and new bits of gear into your bag, as long as you don’t mind doing a bit of Resident Evil 4 style inventory management along the way. If you’ve played a game like Slay the Spire before it’s a similar setup to that, but instead of drawing cards you just pick whatever you want to use out of your trusty bag.Īt the start of a dungeon run your bag will be a tiny three by three grid that barely fits your starting gear in, but by winning battles you can level up your backpack and extend it in any direction you want by a few squares. Each turn you have a set amount of energy that you can spend to use the items in your bag, and thanks to the fact that you can see incoming attacks in advance you can work out the best way to avoid incoming damage and take down the baddies. At a basic level this means using a sword in your bag to attack an enemy or using a shield to defend against an incoming attack. It’s not the most gripping story in the world, but it gets you ready to go off and fill your backpack.Įach run of Backpack Hero begins with you having a few set items in your backpack, which you’ll need to use to take down enemies. It doesn’t take long for her to discover her mum’s precious locket down in the depths, and decides to keep exploring until she finds out what happened to her. Purse is an adventurous little mouse, and when her mother disappears without a trace she immediately decides to search for her in the dungeon under her hometown of Haversack Hill. Backpack Hero is that entry point, replacing cards with items in a backpack to make deckbuilding more accessible. I personally don’t like the idea of people missing out on these seriously compelling and thoughtful video games, and until now there hasn’t really been an easy entry point for newcomers. Demonic Flask: Cost 7 -> 8 Gold, damage 0.7 -> 0.It wasn’t all that long ago that Slay the Spire took the gaming world by storm and put deckbuilding games on the map, but if you’ve never really played a card game before it’s a pretty intimidating genre to get into. ![]() Dragonskin Boots: now trigger at 70%, they also remove 2 Poison. ![]() Hero Sword: deals 3-6 damage and gives +2 damage.Whetstone: now gives +1 damage (min and max) and costs 3 gold. ![]()
