unlabelledView post →I've been playing my way through Backpack Hero finally, even tho I bought it at launch. The big difference maker? Being busy & having a broken controller has really helped me appreciate a game that's 100% mouse-controlled (hah!), doesn't rush me, & can run in a window. And it's great!

It's a spaceship inventory management auto-battler, so if you're a fan of Backpack Hero or FTL you might enjoy it! #indiegame #gamedev

I'm not much of a packrat, but maybe I'll have an advantage in this game since the main character appears to be a rodent 🐁 twitch.tv/virtuebro #VSky

Figment is an action-adventure game where explore a unique surreal universe and Backpack Hero is an inventory management roguelike.
unlabelledView post →I love a good video game with a sexy grid inventory, or even a whole game that revolves around said sexy grid inventory. Like Backpack Hero, or the cashier game Rummy was playing today -- are there any other games out there that are like, "organize shit in grid format to fit nice" as a mechanic?

unlabelledView post →#7 Backpack Battles If you followed me for a bit, you probably know my love for Backpack Hero. This is up there because I was hoping for a similar experience, but I don't have a big vibe check on this game so that's why I haven't pulled the trigger yet. 😊
unlabelledView post →OK, hear me out... What if Fallout, but you play as one of the bag-schlepping squires from the TV show, and also inventory now works like Backpack Hero? A neat li'l demo, rough around the edges, but I played it all the way through and was thoroughly amused & engaged.
unlabelledView post →ALL done!!! Mina was a fantastic game and I enjoyed every second of it. I'll be streaming again this Saturday at 6:30~ish PM with another mousegirl video game! Backpack Hero! Hooray! (I got it to work I prommy)
unlabelledView post →store.steampowered.com/app/1970580/... Backpack Hero is a game *about* item systems, your weapons and armor and items have different effects depending on how you pack and arrange them. Also you play as a cute mouse 🐁

unlabelledView post →Might try Crypt Custodian as an action RPG soon, also looking into Backpack Hero, Cobalt Core, Elden Ring down the line. Some RPGs I wanna try are Star Ocean 2 remake, Paper Mario Remake, Mario RPG Remake, Legends of Dragoon, and a few more. Any good game recommendations?
unlabelledView post →The new pod is out! On the review slate: packing for the win in Backpack Hero, getting lost in A Highland Song, and a quick jaunt in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. Plus, some Game Awards picks, and a polemic about Ubisoft's design approach. 🎧Listening links: gaminginthewild.com
unlabelledView post →I continue to be incredibly impressed with Backpack Hero. It looks like a simple game at first glance, but the sophistication and complexity of mechanics is so top-tier. There is a *lot* going on under the hood, and everything I've seen so far is fantastic.
unlabelledView post →y'know, i'm coming around on the opinion that roguelites with meta-progression are kinda not my favorite type. HOWEVER, a notable exception that i've been digging lately is where the meta-progression is in the form of a completely separate game, a la Loop Hero or Backpack Hero
unlabelledView post →I've been going back to playing Backpack Hero lately. Back when I used to be a fugi, this game was in early access. It's incredible to see how much this game has changed!
unlabelledView post →B: Backpack Hero I've said this to a lot of people recently, but I would replay the hell outta this game if it came to mobile. It would be delightful. One of only 5 games I've 100%'d. 😊
unlabelledView post →Really ❤️: Backpack Hero Really 😡: Final Fantasy XIII (though there are characters I like & things I like, my overall feeling about the game is very sour) Will like to 🎮: No Man's Sky
unlabelledView post →I've been playing Backpack Hero. It's exactly the kind of game I love, and I'm getting so mad at these FUCKING RATS
unlabelledView post →🔴GOING LIVE @ twitch.tv/CODECHANNEL nyaa doing a make-up stream tonight where we missed out yesterday. Going to open with some 🐺RESIDENT EVIL VILLAGE Mercenaries. Then we'll start retroachievements on 🍄SUPER MARIO BROS. and cooldown on some 🎒BACKPACK HERO and general 🧼Game Cleanup!
unlabelledView post →Ahhhh Backpack Hero is such a good game. Going to have to play it again next week. They added a whole story mode since I last played and a bunch of stuff. #envtuber #vtuber #vtubers
unlabelledView post →So! Backpack Hero is a good game But you should not buy it If you need to focus On LITERALLY ANYTHING
unlabelledView post →Checking out Backpack Hero on Switch today and that game is a banger! So many cool and interesting decisions going on in there... As a roguelike fan, this is some delicious stuff!

unlabelledView post →Nimhvember continues! Tonights swordmouse game is Backpack Hero! Now... where'd i put that dang stream link twitch.tv/jaycalves
unlabelledView post →The inventory management game of Tetris isn't nearly as interesting as in, say, Backpack Hero, where what you keep and where you keep it actually matters. In Dredge, it's just a limiting factor and chore.
unlabelledView post →Yup. Holds true across other games too. Even to the point where some game devs make it the central mechanic of their game. Personally, I love it when item shape/size plays a part too(I blame RE4). Backpack Hero is a great example. Roguelike shenanigans with limited (but upgradable) backpack space.
unlabelledView post →I played Backpack Hero and if you enjoyed Slay the Spire you should check it out! Art style is cute, the village hub area is fun to upgrade/customize, and gameplay is good. Sadly completing the game requires doing a full run with all 5 characters and some of them aren't fun. Still a good time!
unlabelledView post →Yes. It's rare that I do it (unless the game makes it easy). I've done 5, technically 6. • Telltale Game of Thrones • Wanderstop • Potion Craft • Persona 5 Royale • Backpack Hero And the hardest one I worked for was Risk of Rain 2. And I had that until the release the DLC. 🥲
unlabelledView post →Saw this and figure to give this game called Backpack Hero a shout out. store.steampowered.com/app/1970580/...
unlabelledView post →I've recently lost a LOT of time to Backpack Hero. If you've not given that a go, I recommend it! (Horrible niche option: the dungeon crawler side game in the PS1 fighting game Ehrgeiz)
unlabelledView post →Seeing a game called Backpack Hero that's an "inventory management roguelike" and feel like I've been playing variations of that for twenty years. (Not a knock on the game which actually sounds fun.)
unlabelledView post →Shoutout to Backpack Hero, that game rules!
unlabelledView post →Time for another mouse game! 🐭 Get ready to fit things into a grid, 'cuz it's Backpack Hero time. www.twitch.tv/furretturret
unlabelledView post →It's called Backpack Brawl, idk if you've ever played games like Backpack Hero but its a kind of inventory management roguelike item builder... idk kind of game lol. Its about as typically agressive with ads as your standard ftp mobile game
unlabelledView post →might wanna check Backpack Hero if you're a making an inventory based game.
unlabelledView post →Nuclear Throne is the game I always come back to, when I want to feel better and have some fun. I also like OSFE, Backpack Hero and Streets of Rouge
unlabelledView post →Going back to a old game on my stream with Lenna's Inception, then a more recently played on with Backpack Hero. Ogu and the Secret Forest is a new one for us that might be on Friday (we will see what Friday brings).
unlabelledView post →I routinely think about Backpack Hero, not just because it's a fun game that I thoroughly enjoyed, but also because it helped me through a tough time. Not many games I know of that have serious depth that can be played 1 handed with just a mouse. 😊
unlabelledView post →You know the drill with the Tuesdays (and if I actually did it, I would be sub 23 by now). Backpack Hero again on Wednesday (I'll take a break from it next week) and Sly Cooper on Friday as our first PS2 game.
unlabelledView post →Very similar schedule from last week. Still grinding that Buster Busts Loose followed by another game from THE WHEEL! on Wednesday (Backpack Hero was pretty fun). The Hi-Fi Rush finale should end the week for us.
unlabelledView post →Backpack Hero is on my list for sure. Ball x Pit is stupidly addictive. Some of the latter characters really switch up how the game is played. Enjoy!
