Its kinda butts tbh.

I really wanted to like this, I really did.. Its such a beautiful game and a great concept...
Bugs. The game is buggy, very very buggy. Run ruiningly buggy. Info cards will just decide to stop working on entire groups of items where it wont show their details via mouse-over or selecting view card. Choice paths work only sometimes, and more.
Mechanics. So many bad choices but biggest of all is pretty much every alternative character aside from Purse. Every single one, ESPECIALLY the frog is just trash to play. The frog is actually painful and is the exact reason only 1.2% of players have her achievement. Shes just not fun on top of her play style being trash.
If it wasnt for achievements and repeatedly leaving the game on overnight on accident I highly doubt my played time would be this high, and it hurts cause it really has so much potential to be a super replayable game, and I REALLY want to like it so badly...

The plushie quest is enough for this game to be marked as bad, but Tote and Poachette are not fun to play, and you have if you wanna complete the game

This game, while cool is completely buggy... from the controls throwing things out irretrievably to save slots vanishing. Many cool ideas TONS of lost time and effort. feeling a ton of regret over this one after losing all of my progress in the game.

As a Kickstarter fellow who's seen this game from before release till now, I watched as the ambition and scope of the game expanded beyond what I believe to have been a good stopping point.
Its a great game, but while the scope of content and items has been increased, it requires just a little more time and attention in development before I'd recommend this game.

Storymode effectively handcuffs you to a smaller experience of the game until through grinding out runs and challenge runs, you unlock content that you already have through the Quickplay Gamemode. The Base-building aspect is cool for story and such reasons, but the only thing you do in your base is unlock challenge runs and items that you could access from the Quickplay mode. Perhaps we could have been able to reorganize the town like our backpack does with buildings more directly interacting with others, but so far all we got is 5% more resources here or %7 better prices there.
We didn't need a story mode. I think the gameplay mechanics is better suited for a more arcade style experience.
If you want to experience the fullness of the game, just do the Quickplay game-mode exclusively.

Plenty of grammar mistakes -a few that I've seen (and reported myself before steam release was announced) are still there. Some items have attached descriptions, but an incredibly large amount of items do not have the same care put towards them -a growing situation as the game continued through its creation. The tutorial for the playable character Tote, is currently bugged and it has been so for over a year. All I know at this point is that the developer's attention is possibly focused on the Switch port over fixing the current game. I have not experienced bugs relating to saved data progress, but there's talk of it on other reviews.

I wanted to like this game....but after playing it for a while...it's not that good.

I mean this game takes the one thing I HATE, that being inventory management, makes it ten times worse, and just made this horrible system.

That's not to mention the god-awful hinderance of the hazards that just tear away at your health, making everything feel like a stress.

The bosses are unfair, ESPECIALLY THE SUMMON ONES.

Overall. the price is obscene for a half-baked product, and so I say get it on sale if you are truly so curious.

Backpack Hero is a superficially cute game with very little depth and a strange amount of grinding the same content over and over again. I enjoyed my first couple of hours partly due to anticipation of the potential of the game's core mechanic, but quickly found that there wasn't really any exploitation of that mechanic.
The difficulty curve is a very shallow slope, adding to the feeling of pointless grind, and due to the lack of challenge there is no feeling of excitement on finding interesting synergies or trying to optimise your build.
The characters are decently sketched out, but it's annoying and clunky to interact with them and the dialogue never sparkles enough to be a merit to the game. This makes the general experience of talking to characters, on average, a painful experience.
The sad thing about Backpack Hero is that it's obvious that the developer has really tried on a number of fronts, but it's just not come together. It feels like they have bitten off more than they can chew, as none of the systems feel great and many are either half-baked (the dungeon maps, the town building system) or tacked on (most of the combat mechanics, the town building system again). Some of the creative parts of the game feel imaginative, but they aren't well-executed enough to let me recommend the game as a whole.
I will say that the game was a little more fun before I came across a quest that let me know that you can rotate items to fit in your inventory -- this was my fault, as I'm sure there was a tutorial. Before that quest, I often had to make relatively difficult choices as I couldn't always fit everything I wanted in my pack. After that, I never had to make a difficult choice or trade-off.
It's a shame to not recommend this game as I think the idea has so much potential, but the implementation is unsatisfying and I am left hoping that a better game will be created to use the same fundamental mechanics.
EDIT:
I forgot to mention; there are numerous bugs and glitches throughout the game. Some can force a reload of the game (you can end up unable to interact with anything in game), others are annoying or detrimental, but not enough to really add sorely-needed difficulty (such as not being able to use items that you have the resources to use after transforming them), and some are just strange (such as rotating all your items through 90 degrees while holding the item that prevents items from rotating).
The final category of bugs is that many items do not interact as they should. Things don't just "do what they say", resulting in surprisingly boring builds that should be overpowered, chaotic or dangerous to use. In particular things that add or sacrifice health rarely interact with other items as they should, but this is a problem with almost every mechanic in the game.

Has too many game breaking bugs and the devs have completely abandoned the game, no updates for ages.
I've lost so many runs and had to quit halfway due to the bugs locking the game up.
Do not buy, you'll regret it.

不是哥们，mac右键怎么不是旋转是显示物品属性啊

This game is fantastic but unfortunately there is an unacceptable amount of run breaking bugs.
