Exciting news for all Backpack Hero fans
Hello, adventurers! Have you heard the news? Backpack Hero is now available in version 1.0! It has been an incredible journey, and the developers couldn't be more grateful for each and every one of you who has accompanied them on this adventure. Your support has been crucial - from the early days on itch.io to the Kickstarter campaign and, of course, since the first day of Early Access.
The evolution of Backpack Hero
Backpack Hero has undergone many changes. Perhaps you remember the early days? The developers have added four new characters (yes, it was just Purse at the beginning!) and revamped two of them. Over 800 items and more than 100 enemies have been designed, controller support has been introduced, and it has even received Steam Deck certification. And, of course, thanks to your help, the developers have been able to test many new features and create incredible mods!
Backpack Hero 1.0: What to Expect
Perhaps the most exciting part of 1.0 is the story mode. It introduces meta-progress between game rounds and helps new players navigate better. This way, you can follow the adventure at your own pace and discover the many secrets that Haversack Hill hides. Get ready for the thrilling planning of the city map!
