The core gameplay loop is simple but requires a lot of strategy and sometimes quick thinking. Each time you enter the dungeon you’re given a limited amount of backpack space and a few starting items. When you level up, you’re able to add more space to your backpack but that resets each time. As you fight enemies, open chests, or do other tasks, you find all sorts of items that you can use in the dungeon or save for later.

Backpack Hero is a rogue-lite, dungeon crawler, inventory management game that is so much deeper than it appears on its surface. You begin as a rat with a backpack, a missing mother, and a town in ruins. There is a dangerous mine conveniently located right next to the town.

While hardly a looker, this is pretty unique roguelike RPG makes meticulous inventory management compelling There’s nothing I love more than indie games that take ideas that seem to be weird, and on the surface would seem to be quite unexciting, and spin them into something sweet.

Despite floundering a bit with meta-progression mechanics, Backpack Hero is still a thoroughly entertaining deckbuilding roguelike. Its use of item management as a central game mechanic is wildly inventive, and I consistently wanted to reenter the dungeon just to explore new item synergies. I do wish the town sections didn’t drag the pace of the main campaign as much as they did. But even if you strictly use the Quick Game mode, Backpack Hero is still a worthwhile venture.
