Backpack Hero

Pack your bags and join Josh and Bryan for a dip into this recent rouge-lite with a concept so good its hard to believe it hasn’t been done before: Inventory Tetris as RPG mechanic. Organizing your inventory is often a key aspect of certain adventure and survival games, but what if one were to use as the central mechanic for a run-based, rogue-lite, dungeon crawler? The answer is Backpack Hero! Crafting your perfect backpack with adjacency bonuses and synergies is compelling in itself, but this Kickstarter success shoulders the additional burden of providing the player with several different characters that all play in very unique ways as well. So take a load off and pull out the old Headphones of Listening, to hear the guys’ thoughts on Backpack Hero!
