#BackpackHero
Some very dear friends of mine were part of the team that made this game. It means so much to me to see them all getting praise like this! Thank you for playing Backpack Hero.
I really hope they make it able to be played on mobile!
@@magiklok Hey! It looks like they're not entirely sure if a port to mobile will be happening at the moment. Web is what they're explicitly focusing on currently. There's a chance it could go mobile, or Steam.
Hope that helps clear up some stuff!
@@wishstar6268 ok
Looked it up after this and have had quite a good time of it.
It’s fun how it combines a puzzle and collecting element.
The plucky protagonist made me think of the upcoming Mina the Hollower and Quill from Moss.
@@HueghMungus If it is web based, it should work on linux on a browser unless it needs some windows plugins or something. Javascript runs on all platforms naitively.
Even if it's free, if you wanted to make it a mini-series, I would gladly watch it.
I just tried the game, and oh boy, what a run. Beat the final boss first try!
Early on, i found a staff that allowed me to summon 5-damage shivs that disappeared after combat. I thought that i might as well grab some scaling damage, but since it requires lots of free inventory space, iwanted to ditch it later. Oh boy was i wrong, that thing carried me for most of the run: even two shivs, when boosted by a whetstone and a shield that added damage to adjacent weapons on use, were already plenty of damage. I made a point to take along one of these bracers that cleared curses on use, converting them into energy instead, so those weren't an issue especially since i kept a bunch of free space due to the shivs.
Then, despite my plan to ditch magic completely, i found a book that allowed me to generate 2 mana for 1 energy, so i ended up keeping and spamming it for infinite mana, just in case i found a fire wand or something. I only found a beginner's wand though, which let me convert 1 mana into 1 regen - sweet, i now have infinite, scaling healing! Then, i found a wizard cap that added 1 damage to the wand, so now i could convert mana into damage AND regen! Not that i needed it, as enemies couldn't get past my shield. Which i ditched for a magic bracelet that also added block, since i had 200+ mana lying around unused. And once i got that spike helmet and rose, i noticed that i could just out-stall most enemies through sheer regen and spike scaling.
And then, halfway through zone 3, i found a legendary hat that added haste every turn. Fun fact: it applies to block from armor, of which i had plenty at that point. Fun fact 2: there's a hard cap of 99 block, the game won't let you get more. Not-so-fun-fact: to prevent stalling, enemies scale in damage and block over time (not that it mattered, since i scaled harder). It got slightly worrying at the end though: if it dragged out for like 10-20 more rounds, and even my 99 defense, 97 regen and 81 HP wouldn't cut it as enemies would start doing like 90 damage each.
TL:DR - wanted to be a warrior, stuck with summoning and buffing shivs instead, later found an OP mana-generating spellbook and decided to become a wizard, but never found offensive wand. Put on a magic cap that made my healing wand do damage instead. Found hat of infinite free defense, hard-countered the final boss with agressively scaling armor, regen and spikes while never actually attacking until i sharpened a shiv into a weapon of instant annihalation just for the boss to almost die to my spike damage.
So yeah, fun times.
@@123r97 All i can think of is that there weren't any free spaces to the left of right of your shiv staff - it cannot spawn shivs anywhere else.
But you probably read the items description, so it might be a bug?
If only I had kept one of those wands I belive I would won first try too, I too found the moreliomnicon so I had 80 mana... but nothing to use it on
I had legendary fish weapon with every single surronding space being a fish, but with the enemy having rage it didnt take long before its damage outgrew my protection
20:43 I decided I absolutely had to get this game. Seriously another golden find from Retromation! Great video another golden find by this wonderful creator. Thanks Retromation!
I haven't seen a roguelike subgenre with this much potential since Dream Quest (precursor to Slay the Spire). The polished and expanded successor to this will be big!
Only problem is the game is extremely easy. By accident I become immune to damage, curses and could do over 1k damage in a single turn.
That pack rat is adorable ! You can feel his fear, tiredness and need for headpats~ 🤗
I didn't think about that pack rat it all makes sense now lol.
Reto I did a run of this just now and my whole thing was stacking armor and thorns and not attacking and there's an enemy that straight up just poisons you for 15 hp in the third area and never attacks you.
Just a heads up for anyone else lol, game's great, thanks for showcasing it Reto
I just did a similar build. Really fun, but the way the thorns continue to stack each turn instead of going away seems a little broken.
@@bobbusc it is! Until it's not it seems lol
This game really needs a way to save a loadout. So you can mess about with your bag and then return to what worked if you want.
nah, i like seeing the chaos unfold :D
Didn’t think I would be into it, but it is very entertaining to watch!
This game looks really cool, and the music is pretty good too!
The game really needs to highlight how the items interact better, maybe with a graphic overlay of +n for extra damage, healing, armor... it was nearly impossible to tell that your splint wasn't doing anything since you had a shield (armor), and that the whetstone needs to be activated with an energy to start giving +3 dmg, doing 50+ dmg with every hatchet after a few turns is very possible
Shield doesn't count as armor though, that is why, I tested it in the video.
Genuinely cannot wait to see more.
You got me to play this random game. And after a shaky start I ended up with so much armour per turn I could spend every turn using a book to gain 2 mana while killing all enemies with thorns. Up to 100 mana so far and have a damage wand and armour ring if I ever need to spend anything. Which means after that first bee boss, I can already do over 1,000 damage in one turn
Took me 15 min to realize there's an adorable rummaging animation. Also of note, it's not only v. 04, as of now there's multiple floors and 75 experiences in a run. That's huge
That's a rogue like version of escape from tarkov looting
I love it
I slept on this video for a couple of days. Glad I circled back. This game looks great. I would watch a series.
I found you on TH-cam and I like to watch you playing. But I wonder how and were you find such wonderful games. And that every day. Thanks ☺️
Played the demo a couple weeks ago and can say that I will be getting this on release!
Great find Retro, I didn't even finish your video before I left to play and beat the game lol.
Big dopamine hit watching this. Love it.
This is a fun little game. I made it to the end on the first run through but died at the final boss. The second playthrough I figured out a pretty solid strategy and beat him. endless mode ramps up the difficulty quick, though. Since the stream hasn't got that far, I won't spoil the strat, simple, and sort of brute force as it is.
This is the game I wanted to create! Glad someone had the same idea!
Made it to floor 13 before my broken Hatchet Whetstone build could not cut it any more. 7 Hatchets, no armor, 1 whetstone, 9 HP rings, and seasoning surrounded by +1 energy mugs constantly.
This was a fun game thanks for the find. Made a spike build. 2 spiked helm the helmet that adds haste knights shield a bunch or roses breastplate armor. Whetstone a bunch of shivs some hearts for healing.
This game already has a lot of content for being free. I hope and even encourage people to like...donate and spread the word about this game cause everyone involved made a quality turn based roguelike rpg
....it also reminded me of that old school flash game Help the Hero anyone remember that one? The one where Arin Hansen voiced said hero? That game was great...we need more tetris like item management games
This is what characters do passively on their own.
The decision paralysis in this game seems like a lot lol
Bruh the combat OST in this game is LITT!!!!
thanks for this game, it is amazing, I got a whetstone/free attack combo where i just dump damage into boosting my free action attacks XD I saw a possible cleaver build too where you get cleavers to buff other cleavers
Seeing the king cleaver in the shop then a cleaver in the chest was heart breaking.
maybe weapons have to be place in a column or a ro (in other words if a sword is placed vertically you only get bonuses for items that say calomn but the opocite is true for rows) ?
I have a hard time finishing your videos because I just want to go download the game!
Edit: Well I beat the game. I went with a heavy armor build with 4 helmets and a spiked club that I could use over and over. It didn't cost energy to use but it did hit me so I just stacked the armor Hugh and swung for the fences.
Thanks for letting me know of this amazing game.
How Wholesome. lol. I knew I'd like this game when "Ancient Cheeses" was your goal. 😂
That bow just wasted sooooo much space 😭
Great find! Had 3 runs earlier and made it to what I *think* is the final boss however a build that saw me through the game really was my downfall against the boss! I'll be playing again tomorrow for sure :)
Just had to go play a round myself, managed to make it to endless stage 3 :D. Very good game, tons of potential.
Looks neat. Cute graphics and interesting mechanics.
Oh, a game that plays against the pack rat mentality!
Would love to see more of this game on the channel
the inventory management reminds me of dicey dungeons
Really great game!, but i think the devs should amp the difficulty a bit more to make it more challenging, sure curses are really annoying, but the haste system, king cleaver+wheatstone, necronomicon+regen staff combos are somewhat broken imo
really cool game! I tried it and beat it on the second try. first try, I tried to be funny by using a 3-use only weapon.
overall the game is fun, but lacks progression as u go deeper, as the weapon drops don't become much stronger, u only make them stronger through accessories that u add on.
I would say they could consider the classic rarity system where a single item can drop from a range of rarities instead of each item being tied to a single tier.
there's a bit of replayability with the sword/bow/cleaver/staff weapons, though the last two are more rare.
fun game overall, with more development, especially in the late game, would be a hit
I made my bed, we're gonna lie in it...
Pretty smooth as a pick up line...
More! More! This is great!
Game looks fun but something in me died when you tossed a wetstone to keep an emerald. Xd
I get it though, we don't all have math for brains.
This is an incredible concept
This is a great game I’ve done a couple runs and really enjoyed it.
Played this game a bit and man it is fun
17:34 a + pattern with it as the center.
Better than a lot of paid games I’ve played recently
I played this myself, and I’d be totally willing to pay for it if it weren’t free.
CUTE anthro characters, a banging soundtrack, a crazy-solid concept focused on something I've never seen before, AND it's free!?
What more could a furry ask for in a video game!?
I don't usually backseat, but that trade for the axe, oh my god...
Yeah, you nailed that I'd be screaming!
I feel like this games just simple enough that if they released it on the app store for Android and Iphones that itd blow up.
Ok, I am very enamored with this concept. Why is this free!?
This game seems cool also I did not care that it was meant to be played on pc because it works fine on phone
Damn this is an awesome free game, I can't wait to see where it goes
Reminds me of the jack and Casie indie game.
I played the demo a yesterday ago... it is great.
This looks amazing!
Limited inventory space leading to inventory micromanagement is the #1 reason why I quit most RPGs
Looks really nice at the start, but I know for a certainty that I would eventually come to hate this game
This is so cool!
I actually played the game for 3 hours lol, really fun
Looks super fun!
they make a game focusing on the most frustrating element of other games
I'd like it better if the hero was a snail, because the backpack looks like a shell.
didn't you play a game where you were the backpack or you lived in it and you handed items to the adventurer? what was that game called
Bag of Holding, interesting how two inventory management games can be so wildly different!
@@Retromation thank you
You should totally revisit thia game lots of new content.
i support the idea to put this on steam
I really like this game, but i can't play this at my phone. Do u like make more videos at this game?
@12:40 You don't have money so you don't visit the shop? Why not visit the shop to GET money, then restock at the treasure chest? :)
Amazing game, can't believe it's free
Oh hell yes
Amazing game!
Is the game only in browser form? Enjoyed the vid and all the cringing... :) Thank you.
I just want to point out that our hero is a.. Pack Rat.
why does the battle music remind me of chrono trigger
death stranding meets slay the spire
Please play more
Is...is that...YourPalRoss???
Neat game
Neat
Needs to be on mobile
What a Gouda game to play when you're Provolone! Don't be a Muenster: make this a long series, or it will be too Brie, and I don't Camembert those (I Havarti tried).
Pretty sure the hatchet was referring to the enemy having armor. It could have been more concise with the wording.
it wasn't
You can literally see it doing more damage
Having now played the game myself, I can also confirm that it very much was referring to you having armour.
??? Is armour not the shields next to your health bar you get from the shield and other such items? Because most definitely the hatchet was not losing damage when Retro had armour on. Unless I'm overlooking something??
@@Retromation Ah. I didn’t have time to finish the video, and I mistook the blue shields for armor. My mistake. A rather confusing mechanic if you ask me. I don’t why your armor would dull the blade of a throwable.
