| Description | BACKPACK HERO is a challenging and unique twist on the standard roguelike or deck building strategy game. The playable protagonist carry's a backpack in which the items accumulated during game play are placed. The way the items are arranged within the backpack and there proximity to one another effects the way they can be used, the power they have and the outcome of battles. Your backpack and discoverable items grow as you progress in the game, which has an exponential effect on the possible arrangements. These arrangements or "builds" have become very popular with players and they enjoy sharing and evaluating one another s strategies. |
