Resumen de la comunidad
Texto original · InglésA turn-based dungeon-crawling roguelike by Jaspel where you play a rat named Purse and win fights by arranging items in a limited grid backpack, with a town-rebuilding meta layer.
Texto original · InglésBackpack Hero is liked by players (Steam Very Positive, about 86% of roughly 8.5k reviews) and received mixed-to-favorable critic scores (Metacritic 76 from 6 reviews, OpenCritic 71 with 63% recommending). The grid-based inventory puzzle is widely called inventive and addictive, and the five characters play differently. Criticism centers on a clunky interface, a slow and grindy story-mode unlock loop, a half-baked town, bugs and repetition. The game left early access in Nov 2023 and reached consoles in mid 2024, but recent Steam reviews say it has had no updates since roughly Dec 2024, so many recent negatives are about abandonment, unfixed bugs and a game that feels unfinished. A modding scene partly fills the gap.
Lo que elogian los jugadores
- Texto original · InglésThe backpack-as-inventory mechanic: fitting items, synergies and adjacency into a grid works like a Tetris-style puzzle and is described as surprisingly addictive
- Texto original · InglésFive characters (Purse, Tote, Satchel, Pochette, CR-8) with distinct playstyles; Satchel's charm builds and Pochette's pet builds are singled out as strong
- Texto original · InglésHundreds of items and lots of build variety, giving a strong 'one more run' pull
- Texto original · InglésEasy to understand yet deep enough for veterans; challenge modifiers welcome both masochists and players wanting easier runs
- Texto original · InglésCharming pixel art and friendly characters, noted by Eurogamer and other critics
- Texto original · InglésGood value in raw playtime: 100 percent completion takes roughly 35-60 hours and some players have sunk hundreds or over a thousand hours
- Texto original · InglésActive modding community and Steam Workshop support
- Texto original · InglésSeen by fans as having set the template for later 'backpack battler' games
Lo que critican los jugadores
- Texto original · InglésMany bugs, including game-breaking softlocks, and reports of an NPC or building (e.g. the temple) that can never be unlocked
- Texto original · InglésFeels unfinished: players say it should still be labelled early access or beta
- Texto original · InglésInterface is clunky; critics at PC Invasion and others cite a persistently irritating UI, and Switch controls are described as unwieldy
- Texto original · InglésStory mode and meta progression are slow and padded, forcing repeated runs to unlock items, heroes and deeper dungeons
- Texto original · InglésShallow story and forgettable NPCs; a bland soundtrack per some reviewers
- Texto original · InglésHeavy RNG and slow levelling make builds depend on luck
- Texto original · InglésDevelopers appear to have stopped patching, leaving balance issues and bugs unresolved
- Texto original · InglésController support is wonky, including on Steam Deck, with cursor and menu problems
- Texto original · InglésShort and ramps up too fast per some reviewers: difficulty escalates quickly while leveling is slow, so runs can feel unwinnable without lucky rolls
Características distintivas
- Texto original · InglésInventory management is itself the core combat mechanic, often compared to the briefcase in Resident Evil 4, rather than a side system
- Texto original · InglésFunctions like a deckbuilder where the backpack replaces the deck; critics call it one of the most inventive deckbuilders
- Texto original · InglésPositioning and adjacency of items in the grid determine synergies, so space itself is a resource (for example empty room reserved for arrows)
- Texto original · InglésPet-based, charm-based and mana-based playstyles each change how you pack the bag
- Texto original · InglésMix of Slay the Spire-style runs with a Moonlighter-like town rebuilt from loot
Opiniones divididas
- Texto original · InglésWhether the story mode is a good tutorial and progression path or unnecessary padding
- Texto original · InglésWhether the core loop is deep and endlessly replayable or repetitive after a few runs
- Texto original · InglésWhether the game deserves a recommendation at full price given abandonment, with many suggesting buying on sale
- Texto original · InglésWhether bugs are tolerable roughness or deal-breakers; some players report none while others hit softlocks
Repetición y obstáculos
- Texto original · InglésStory mode grind: repeating easy early runs, often on the same character and build, to unlock deeper dungeons and gear
- Texto original · InglésTown building and navigating many buildings and menus, plus tracking which items to bring for research
- Texto original · InglésEarly-game rewards feel stingy and the first hours can feel slow
- Texto original · InglésGameplay stays essentially the same across the game, so repetition sets in after the first runs
- Texto original · InglésArchery and magic styles impose extra space or mana restrictions that some find irritating
- Texto original · InglésChasing all achievements, including the RNG-gated unlock of CR-8 late in story mode
Mejoras esperadas
- Texto original · InglésBug fixes and stability patches, plus clearer developer communication about the game's status
- Texto original · InglésA way to lock or ban unwanted items from the reward pool so it does not get clogged, for example after the Wizard School or Archery Lessons runs
- Texto original · InglésA balance pass so more builds and heroes are viable, especially weaker ones like Tote and the mana or archery styles
- Texto original · InglésStreamlined town and meta progression with less menu-hopping, and better in-game explanation of systems like the settlement
- Texto original · InglésRun seeding and better modding support, including mods working in story mode
- Texto original · InglésBetter controller and Steam Deck support and improved translations
Texto original · InglésStarted as a game jam project, raised about $224k on Kickstarter against a $20k goal, entered early access in Aug 2022 and launched 1.0 on Nov 14, 2023 for PC, Mac and Linux, with Switch, PlayStation and Xbox versions in 2024. Critics on Metacritic (PC and Switch both 76) praised the novelty and charm; a few (PlayStation Universe, PC Invasion, Video Chums) flagged unclear explanations, UI and repetitive dungeons. Wikipedia says updates have continued, but Steam reviewers in 2026 say the last update was around December 2024 and call the game abandoned, which has driven a wave of critical recent reviews. Sources conflict on this point, so treat the abandonment claim as player-reported. Steam price is $19.99 with the store listing Pretty Soon and IndieArk as publishers while Metacritic lists Different Tales.

Texto original · InglésTier list Part 1 (2023)
Texto original · InglésBackpack Hero is a turn-based item-management roguelike where the placement of items in your backpack grid determines their effects in combat. You pick from several characters, explore a dungeon, collect loot, and fight through to a final boss. He loves the concept and the effort behind the character variety, but the more he played the more he was bothered by how many found items are useless to your current build. He keeps enjoying it but struggles to return to it, and places it in C tier as a niche game that is not for everyone.

- Texto original · InglésSome builds are broken, and without the right items you are weak (all-in-or-nothing feel)
