Roguelike Management Game Backpack Hero Slated For All Platforms In May

Backpack Hero, a popular roguelike management game, is set to launch for PS5, Xbox Series X | S, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam in May. Publisher and developer Jaspel, along with co-publishers Different Tales and IndieArk, made the announcement.

The game first launched in Early Access for PC via Steam on 15 August 2022 and has attracted 180,000 players since then.

During its Early Access phase, Backpack Hero introduced a compelling twist on the standard deck-building roguelike by making success in each combat encounter not about what you carry, but how you organize items in your bag. The game offers a roster of five heroes to choose from, each with a unique pool of items and abilities that completely change the way you play.

For example, the robot, CR-8, lets you program commands in your backpack Factorio-style, while Pochette carries pets, giving Backpack Hero a Pokémon-esque twist! You can discover hundreds of rare items to arrange into powerful combinations, battle over forty enemy types, and encounter colourful characters on your procedurally generated adventures.

The game’s co-creator, Jasper Cole, expressed gratitude for the community of Backpack Hero, saying, “Over the past year, we launched on itch.io, started a business, ran a Kickstarter, released on Steam Early Access, and got to grow the game in many ways that exceeded our wildest dreams. I’m so excited to see the game on other platforms! This is possible because of the community that supported us, and I am so thankful to you for supporting this humble little indie team.”

Backpack Hero is not done yet; a sneak peek of the highly-requested “Town” feature was included in the new console announcement trailer. This feature adds a whole new layer to a game that’s already received bags of praise in its Early Access phase, offering a rewarding progression path for you to expand your item pool and unlock new heroes.

With the addition of the Town feature, you will transfer your organizational skills from your backpack to the streets to construct a perfect town with the resources you gather on your adventures. Be sure to check out Backpack Hero’s console launch in May to see how the new feature enhances your gameplay experience.
