Backpack Hero is a deck-building roguelike with a deep focus on inventory management. Not only you will explore dungeons and fight against enemies for treasures and fun. Placing the items you find and your current equipment in your backpack is the key to success because if you arrange them properly, your items can increase their power and gain abilities. There are so many items to collect, you will have a hard time finding the best way of arranging your backpack to unlock their powers. But don't forget that you will have to fight against monsters too. Therefore, putting your equipment to the best use is also important in Backpack Hero.

In Backpack Hero you explore the fantasy world of Orderia and rescue the animals who live there. As you rescue them, they will return to your small village, a place that you can upgrade with the materials you have gathered in your adventures to gain advantages and bonuses.

With randomly generated levels, pixel-art graphics, more than 40 different enemies to fight, and hundreds of items to discover, Backpack Hero is an exciting roguelike dungeon crawler.
