Backpack Battles needs a Single Player campaign
I want to say/hope at the level of Hades, with good story, voice acting and music. Battlechef Brigade is another good story campaign.

The "multiplayer" will only last for so long. A good single player campaign could turn this game into an indie legend.

Hey, i get why you would like that, but it's not planned, and not at all realistic for our team.
With hades you are talking about a legendary AA studio - we are working on this with 1,5 people. If we can do one thing, and do it well, we are more than pleased with that.

A similar game in the single player space is "Backpack Hero" - maybe it is what you are looking for :)

Backpack Hero just released the public beta for their story mode as well, highly recommended.

Backpack battles is single player though.

I don't have any interaction with other players. Nothing they do influences my choices outside of the meta-game.

I'm not sure what the dividing line between single player and multiplayer is, but this is definitely on the single player side of that line.

I haven't played Backpack Hero in awhile but the problems I had with that game are:
1. Not a real campaign, almost non-existent story
2. If I recall it was turn based or you had to spam click the weapons
3. 16-bit graphics

They recently on the test branch added a campaign mode that greatly expands the lore.

It is turn based but there is no spam clicking. Unless your build has wild amount of energy generation you click typically 3 times a turn. And even if you have a click happy build you can just right click and choose Use max times

Yeah and? The sprite work is still wonderfully done for everything. On top of that, the beauty of this sort of graphics makes it easier for modders to sprite up new things while keeping to the game's established art style

Does it?
I guess a roguelike mode fighting bosses with some effort would be cool but dude you must be drunk with that list of expectations.
What is your obsession with epic cool storyline in an autobattler?

not everything or every genre need a story to be a good game

i'm guessing from the generation that needs their paw patrol to occupy them on family trips.
Maybe more from the generation who grew up with games with actual single player story / campain and not just MOBAs or CS-GO...
