idk if im just stupid or something but i feel like every single item is so complex and has so many uses for different recipes and stuff that it overwhelms me, the roguelite and inventory management is beautifully designed, but i dont really see myself playing this too often
A game that assembles 3 genres into one game but just one of them is developped to the maximum potential and the other two could do better. I bought it, because it's a Roguelike title (I love roguelikes) and it was pretty cheap.
As I said, Backpack Battles represents 3 genres. You got the roguelike aspect, where you can find and put a bunch of different items in your backpack. Some of them have synergies and others even can fuse together to a even better item or weapon to combat your next opponent. Every time you win or lose a battle, you're sent to the shop, where you can buy or sell your items to get stronger and to continue your journey.
Second genre that you can find here, is the inventory managment, which is by far my favourite and maybe the best developped part in the game. Once you're entering the shop, you can buy items and you have to put them in your backpack. But it's not some ordinary "put it in your backpack and go on", it's a tiny bit more complex than this. You actually have to manage your inventory, cause you got limited space in your backpack and every item has another shape and size to deal with while packing. But don't worry! The shop not only sells weapons and items, but alos more "packback-space" to make your backpack bigger and your management easier. You got a few different backpack additions and they can also make synergies with your items you're putting there.
The last genre, which makes probably the biggest part, is the autobattler. As I understood, you're fighting against other people and their characters. So, you're entering the shop, you buy all your stuff you need. Then you can put them in your backpack (don't forget the synergies and item fusions) and after that, you leave the shop and you're fighting against another player.
So...yeah, that was Backpack Battles. It's a game that I start when I'm heavily bored and I need something to distract myself. I often start a series while watching, cause you don't have to pay much attention to the game. Maybe reading the item effects, but nothing more. I liked the item management aspect, but the combat is boring (autobattler duh). I must admit, that I was a bit lost in the beginning due to the mass of items and different effects you get, but it's nothing you can't deal with. Take your time to read everything and you'll win your first run fast enough.
