Backpack Hero

おもろかったけどストーリーモードでの村の発展要素が妙に凝ってるのがよくわからなかった 全くいらない要素ではないからアレコレ考えるも、最終的にストーリーをクリアしてみると「こんな頑張る必要なかったんじゃ・・・」と思ってしまった あと複数のキャラがいて初見時は感心したが主人公で慣れたゲーム性を基本から覆す一部の奴は実績解除後は全く触れなかった

Backpack Hero is an Indie Roguelike Dungeon Crawler with good item variety and quite a few mechanics, introduced slowly over time as to not overwhelm new players. While I would like to give it a recommended review, I can't due to a number of factors. First are the bugs. I ran into one major issue of whenever one transforms the Shoe Hat, it completely locks them out of any interactivity other than moving on the map and the options / exit menu. This is especially annoying if you transformed it in the middle of combat, as your only recourse will be to quit to the menu and reset to your last auto / manual save. This has apparently been an issue since 2023. Another bug features the Keg(?) item that spawns other items. If you have a full inventory when combat starts, spawn a drink in using the Keg, take an item out so you have space, and put a drink in where it was... It'll be instantly destroyed when you drink it. Which is a huge negative for a Bomb run. Second is the UI. While it's fine most of the time, there's some noticeab;e issues. For instance, in town you can't see how many resources you're creating unless you're in build mode. In addition if an item is disabled, there's no big red "x" over it or anything of the like. If you accidentally put two incompatible items beside each other in that massive backpack, you often won't find out until combat. While that does add difficulty, it's not a fun sort. Finally, town design, I had several minor compounding issues with it. Being unable to scroll around the map unless you're in Build Mode, so that you're unable to move. If you select any Build item or the Destroy button, you have to right click to cancel the action; this kicks you out of build mode entirely for Builds, but not Destroy. You also get an overwhelming amount of Food production specifically; Treasure and Building Materials are far harder to come by becoming the major limiting factors, especially Building Materials. And while the NPCs are all very well designed and cute, the game incentivizes placing buildings very close together to save on resource cost, which can make swarms of them that are difficult to navigate through manually, There is a button in the bottom left to pathfind to specific NPCs, which *does* highlight NPCs with active quests... But it doens't state their names or roles and nearly blacks out their portraits if they *don't* have a currently ongoing quest, so it can be quite hard to find a specific NPC to talk to (like the Librarian or Schoolteacher) even then. Overall I'd say Backpack Hero has great game design, characters, and a fulfilling sense of progression, However, the multiplicity of small issues that keep popping up make me unable to reccomend it, more than what I wrote here for the sake of... some semblance of brevity. If they improved on some of these elements I could reccommend it in earnest, but at current time, shall not.

no more updates :(

[h1] Недорогалик [/h1] Такое ощущение что игра хочет казаться смесью Stardew Valley и Slay the Spire, превратив это в наивкуснейший нектар под названием кал. Что толку от большого количества предметов, если геймплей в городе - слишком топорный, не вызывающий интереса, да ещё при этом лютая духота, а в подземелье - однообразный бесконечный гринд, что само-собой превращается в скуку. Про перевод можно сказать всего одно слово - кринжатина.

除了背包鼠，其他角色都不是人类想出来的机制，越玩越难受。玩游戏是为了放松的，而不是为了折磨自己的，作者纯恶心人出了后面几个角色

Game feel unfinished and abandoned by the devs. Look to other "backpack" games for a better experience.

♥♥♥♥ this game seriously Bug after bug after bug after bug Just found out the reason why the story does not progress is that it's a bug hooray. No I will not reset my save with idk 50 runs. I will uninstall this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Other reviews mentioned bugs already but here are the ones I encountered: - You can sell a quest item. It does not appear anymore at any point. Start a fresh save or cheat it in. - Items unreadeable, clicking through objects (e.g. in the memory game I often click through the overlay and select items in my backpack), item countdowns not appearing after coming out of a battle, items unmovable between battles so you have to save / reload. - Items behaving differently than what the flavor text when hovering over say (such as it being disabled when used by other items but working on its own. - Enemies that react to attack / defense moves ignore whatever the frog "summons". All attack baby. What broke it for me is that appearently you are supposed to have your town "raided" (spoilers, but who even cares about this f*kass story) and you need to rescue someone and craft a special item for this. Great. My town never got raided. I looked in the achievements and it's a very common one that I should have gotten just a few hours in. I already did all of the challenge runs and unlocked everything except the last character (item will not drop after like 30 runs, another great mechanic). I have no intention to replay all of that again. Verdict: Honestly don't buy this. Great concept and at first addicting but absolutely overshadowed by the many partly gamebreaking bugs. If you want to play an Indie Game just get one where the dev actually cares and fixes their mistakes / oversights instead of directly jumping onto a new game. This is honestly like a "latestage" Early-Release build, not a full experience.
