[Review] Backpack Hero (PC)


What is Backpack Hero?

Backpack Hero is a deckbuilder by Jaspel, published by Different Tales. It’s without the deck, so think of it as a backpack builder—or a deckpacker, maybe?

  • Organize Your Pack – Min/Max your buffs and builds on dungeon runs to create game-breaking strategies
  • Rebuild Your Village – Attract new residents, buy and sell items, research new items, and unlock heroes, challenges, and quests.
  • Collect 800+ Unique Items
  • Battle 100+ Unique Enemies
  • Endless Dungeons – Start every run with randomly generated levels

LIKEs:

  • How quickly I can get into a dungeon and just go
  • Randomly generated levels, this is always so much fun!
  • Building your pack and organizing it correctly, so you can maximum damage!

DISLIKEs:

  • When I played the original there was no Rebuild Your Village, and I don’t know if I really like. I loved the game when I tried it at PAX East, because it was so small and compact. I feel like the rebuild the village aspect of the game was not really needed but I understand the need for it.

Get Backpack Hero on Steam now, it’s also available on other major consoles.
