I'm soooooooo tired of clicking. But its a delight to hit every enemy on the field for 500+ damage. Maybe a toggle option to just "use all" for the magic accessories?
There is a bug involving the music script that occurs right after a battle in the Magma Core area. Once I win a fight, the music that plays is from the previous area, the Deep Caves.
This incorrect track plays until I reach the next floor and then the issue fixes itself until I get into another encounter. This problem was in the game since the new music was first added into the area and has still yet to be patched.
Had I known sooner that this was not acknowledged by the devteam, I would have reported the bug immediately. When the bug first occured, I thought it was so evident that someone else would have picked up on it and reported that by now, either here, through Discord or via private communication of some sort, but guess I was wrong.
Other than that, I am enjoying the new items, there are some pretty good ideas here and there.
We really need a load game fix, or the ability to choose save files. Why tf does it keep on resetting me to a run from 17 runs ago? I saved at least 400 times after that and none of them work.
We need a fix. If you need additional developers, I can help out if I can contact you somehow.
no offense but i'm pretty doubtful that you would know how to fix an issue like that, plus the owner's contact info is literally in the credits like what
I've been developing with Unity for over five years, if that's any convincing. I'm not saying more, since why would I to some random game player? Twitter is not an option, noone reads twitter DMs.
Sorry to hear about the saves. You can join our discord if you want to report further. Saves work for many players but this bug report is common too. You might want to try a different browser. I believe the issue relates to saving data in browser. When we move to local builds it should be fixed.
Well that is a new one, loaded the game several times and this happened, there was a similar bug before but I didnt see moving purple clouds before :3 Also the save is completely corrupted, rip run I was restarting the first 2 floors 10 times by now to get ethereal sword staff before first boss :<
When the purple cloud bug happened to me it was to do with the items that involve mana. Simply click them and place them back and the clouds stop. Although, you've clearly got more problems than that.
Made it to 45 before things got too repetitive. The only weakness to rage cleaver strategy is spikes, but that can be mitigated with healing gems and the candlestick.
I reached 111 with the assasin's knife which adds 1 dmg per kill, and energy bonuses with shield talisman to get past the 2 energy requirement. Used rings & haste forges to get bunch of armor while using my weapons to kill everyone, and lots of golden whetstones & energy generation using no item in 2 spaces talismans
bro plz keep working on this most games seem boring to me so half of my time im bored or trying to entertain myself but when i play ur game i have so much fun next thing i know its dark outside lol i love the challenge,adventure,strategy plz dont stop updating the game 🥲
New Speedy Leaf is OP. its a consumable and has the tag "when combat ends this item is destroyed" plop it between a Seasoning and Spice and heal completely for free and then deal 400 damage from PURE RAGE
I managed to get to floor 111 before this level with shield haste 3, rage 2 sword that adds 1 per kill, lucky golden things per level, etc, until the update wiped it, sad.
Adjacency calculations are also broken: bronze breastplate diagonal not working.
So started game after last update, got to floor 4, half way through went to a shop, sold some stuff then tried to move on to next enemy and the character walks forward but i dont actually move to a new room
Same here. Happend twice to me. First time on floor 2, visit shop, just sell some for space and second time on floor 1 again while leaving the shop. Please try to fix this, as it is kinda "unplayable", unless you did not use the shop atm. And many many thanks for your work :) kinda love this game - lost many hours of my lifetime to it :p
By far my best archer playthrough. Hawkeye bow (didnt help much) and bag of knives started each arrow volley fairly weak but doing hundreds eventually after 3 energy. Not perfectly optimized but I knew I was going to die on the lvl 15 boss. Was throwing out legendary equip for energy consumables in stash. If you use enough energy from consumables you can shuck out thousands of dmg within 5 clicks of your bow. Also seems like bow dmg ignores spikes?
I finally managed to beat the final boss with a melee build, screw magic and archery! Haha. I killed the fox and he gave me a nice sword... I even managed to survive until the first boss in infinite, but as usual, no luck with the loot.
Just Won! This is my Build(Note there were more consumable items for extra energy) I basically just used all of my energy Items, then took a nine action turn against the final boss. Ended up setting up over 120 poison. This is probably one of, if not my favorite game on itch!
I think it will be good to let the player know what final boss we will face, it will allow us to prepare accordingly (not preparing a cleaver build if we are going to face the rat king).
Just wanna say if you increase the damage of an weapon the damage that damages you, it will increase damage taken. Found that out the hard way by one shoting myself while I had 45 health. 😂😂😂😂
Get a hourglass, this will permanently decrease the damage of your weapons by 1, but the slime sword is disposable/recyclable, and the screenshot showcases this very clearly.
Alternatively, the bombstone is pretty cool, but it might be a little too much for this item. Hope that helped. ;)
I've been seeing a lot of issues with people getting soft-locked at sage toad, and I think an easy solution would be to have them and other similar units classed as "cowardly" or something (a bit like "minion" in StS), meaning that they run away if there are no non-cowardly units remaining.
So sadly I ran into an unplayable build. I was really excited about the pacifist build as well. But I found myself in an inescapable loop I couldn't scratch my way out of.
You need either HasteForge event, and some kind of +haste item, or, you need to kill them really darn fast.
Do not be affraid to trade health. And prepare some free space. Their curse rotation will kill you either by direct curse damage, or ramping regen and rage.
Best fast-kill canditates are archery, and burst mage.
If you are not running a status build [haste, rage, regen] you can make really good use of Cleansing potions.
I had made a previous comment pointing out the issue clear as day about the curses and was told by the developer that they were added to force the player to 'destroy' their perfect build.
While I understand that, this implementation has only made the game slower-paced since the player has to figure out each time where to put the curse. This is bad game design.
Funniest part of it all is that an otherwise pretty weak weapon called the cursed blade is made tremendously powerful because the player can put all the curses near it if they want to and there are builds specifically to take advantage of that fact.
What I think the developer should have done was to add a thief enemy that can steal the player's items and aim specifically for legendary/rare tier items or money.
Along the thief enemy, the developer should consider reverting back to their original idea on how curses should work: the enemies put the curses for the player and then the curses don't replace any item from the backpack, they are instead added on top of those items which are then either disabled or weakened.
I'd prefer the last option of disabling or weakening items. Regardless of the Dev's wishes for a build breaker function, the entire reason I play the game is to have a fun set of weapons and gear to play with, having to throw that away constantly or just die to unavoidable damage because of some arbitrary mechanic is annoying as heck.
Edit: At the very least there should be an option out of combat to remove curses. Or just have curses exist during battle only.
Great game, really fun. IMO rotating items is not really necessary (almost never used/needed it). If you can add some sort of permanent/persistent upgrades, that would be super awesome - I can’t get past floor 5-6, and would really like to be able to grind through to completion.
450*13*5(the large manastones)+450*16*6(The HUGE manastones)=72450
72450+161*162/2(from stopwatch)=85491
+ about 200 from warriors spellbook depending on when you have to use it, (ancient tome would be higher damage for sure because it would allow 3 more uses per manastone). If I did any of the calculations wrong or miscounted something feel free to correct me.

Do i need to keep/use a lot of luck things
I'm soooooooo tired of clicking. But its a delight to hit every enemy on the field for 500+ damage. Maybe a toggle option to just "use all" for the magic accessories?
Just one tap and it adds 33damage to everything
How about a cleaver run? 😎😎😎

Good catch! I'll investigate
One of the best game I've ever played!
Agreed

the owner seems experienced enough so you should probably let them take their time with it

the words of a man who didn't even click the second link
also fair enough
You want to contact them on twitter or itch? Go for it. They aren't in the discord either.

No golden whetstones in this run!
I'll see if I can get anything close to my god-tier build back :) Hard to do when they completely broke save loading.
What's the record for endless mode?
I reached 111 with the assasin's knife which adds 1 dmg per kill, and energy bonuses with shield talisman to get past the 2 energy requirement. Used rings & haste forges to get bunch of armor while using my weapons to kill everyone, and lots of golden whetstones & energy generation using no item in 2 spaces talismans
The boss has 32,300 HP and I have only 110? I think this game needs some balancing.
bro plz keep working on this most games seem boring to me so half of my time im bored or trying to entertain myself but when i play ur game i have so much fun next thing i know its dark outside lol i love the challenge,adventure,strategy plz dont stop updating the game 🥲
We are continuing work! We just did an update today! Hope you'll support the KickStarter when it launches soon!
i will trust me😄👍. question is there crafting in here if not do u mind if i give u an idea of a crafting system?
This game is about to ruin my marriage. I can't stop playing.
I'll take that as a compliment! Now go be a good partner! :) Backpack Hero will only get better after more updates. :P
Oh, it was a compliment! Thank god I finally beat the boss, so I can be a good boy now and only play for fun instead of obsessively.
Glad I got one of the fun burst mage builds before the update. I just kept going for awhile, killing all enemies first turn lol.
haven't played the update yet, but since relics no longer have a rarity, what do they sell for?
New Speedy Leaf is OP. its a consumable and has the tag "when combat ends this item is destroyed"
plop it between a Seasoning and Spice and heal completely for free and then deal 400 damage from PURE RAGE
only works for one combat but still......stronk
The mole card lottery is broken, when you turn cards you cant see the item
Sorry! Today's update should have fixed it! Please try again!
Memory card ? event is also broken
Sorry! Today's update should have fixed it! Please try again!

bow dmg ignores spikes since arrows are projectiles
I finally managed to beat the final boss with a melee build, screw magic and archery! Haha. I killed the fox and he gave me a nice sword... I even managed to survive until the first boss in infinite, but as usual, no luck with the loot.
Used/ Drank the energy plus health mug next to the cleansing/ cleaning rag and this happen:
Just Won! This is my Build(Note there were more consumable items for extra energy) I basically just used all of my energy Items, then took a nine action turn against the final boss. Ended up setting up over 120 poison. This is probably one of, if not my favorite game on itch!
Does anyone know...does "Luck" stack?
If i have 5 'Lucky Rings' in my inventory do i get 5x better loot?
Does killing every enemy w/ the 'Lucky Dagger' guarantee you a legendary drop?
luck does stack but it just increases your chances. No guarantees of legendary items!
I think it will be good to let the player know what final boss we will face, it will allow us to prepare accordingly (not preparing a cleaver build if we are going to face the rat king).
this is planned! Also he is a badger ;p
Thanks for the answer!
The Chronno Trigger vive of the music is amazing !
It wont load.
I cannot get this game to remember any setting for sound or save and load. Is this a known fault or am i being dumb?
Walked into a boss floor and got a boss item and still got a boss item after fighting it
Just wanna say if you increase the damage of an weapon the damage that damages you, it will increase damage taken. Found that out the hard way by one shoting myself while I had 45 health. 😂😂😂😂
Yep.
send help im not even in endless mode.
I'm having a little trouble on floor one. Does anyone know what I could do to beef up my build? uwu
Get a hourglass, this will permanently decrease the damage of your weapons by 1, but the slime sword is disposable/recyclable, and the screenshot showcases this very clearly.
Alternatively, the bombstone is pretty cool, but it might be a little too much for this item. Hope that helped. ;)
Absolutely nothing this is the strongest backpack I've seen ever
I've been seeing a lot of issues with people getting soft-locked at sage toad, and I think an easy solution would be to have them and other similar units classed as "cowardly" or something (a bit like "minion" in StS), meaning that they run away if there are no non-cowardly units remaining.
Love this idea!
So sadly I ran into an unplayable build. I was really excited about the pacifist build as well. But I found myself in an inescapable loop I couldn't scratch my way out of.
balanced game
I can barely get into floor 7 anymore, anyone have any build recommendations for surviving the fire?

What's a burst mage build?
something incredible like this bastard
Lots of armor.
Tower Shield + armor sets or just a Haste Set should do
I love this game, but the curses just kill all the fun imo :(

Math quiz: Calculate the maximum total damage that can be dealt on the first turn.
its about 1353 damage per turn
The metallic wand uses mana not energy so it can have far more uses than just the 3 that you calculated.
450*13*5(the large manastones)+450*16*6(The HUGE manastones)=72450
72450+161*162/2(from stopwatch)=85491
+ about 200 from warriors spellbook depending on when you have to use it, (ancient tome would be higher damage for sure because it would allow 3 more uses per manastone). If I did any of the calculations wrong or miscounted something feel free to correct me.
the answer should be multiple of 5, and approximate 42K damage.
the answer is 41,955 damage in first turn!!!!
how did you get 12 golden whetstones
cant tell u. Developer might remove it.
Small hint: use save and load
I found out while messing around before your comment, but your original pic gave me the idea. Thank you:)
