Hey Backpackers! We're here to support another great game that has supported Backpack Hero! If you like turn-based strategy roguelikes, then you'll love Die in the Dungeon!

This prologue is totally free! So give it a shot now and be sure to join their Discord too! You'll definitely hear from us again when the full game is released! And more cross-promo content will be delivered soon too!

Happy New Year!



Hi all,

As you may know, the year of Rabbit is around the corner! We'd like to send our best regards and wishes to everyone for the new year ahead!

Looking back on the past year, we'd like to thank all of our players for supporting Backpack Hero. We're working hard now on new content hoping to deliver you the experience as best as we can. Stay tuned!

Happy New Year everyone!

Luck be a Landlord

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1404850/Luck_be_a_Landlord/

Hey Backpackers! We're super happy to support one of my all-time favorite games: Luck Be a Landlord! If you haven't tried it yet, you really have to. It's a super fun slot-machine roguelike. You'll see that I'm not kidding when I say that I played this game for days on-end!



The game has just left early access! I really recommend a purchase. But if you haven't bought it yet, you can also enter for a chance to win a key directly from the developer!

Here's how you win:

1. Join the Backpack Hero Discord
2. Win a game (any run type) and finish with at least two dice in your backpack!
3. Post a screenshot on the "Show-off-your-builds" channel!

We will pick 5 winners from the entrants! Winners will be announced on January 13th 2023 at 1PM ET.

And may Luck Be A Landlord!!!

Our winter event is ending soon! We already have the new update on our testing branch! I hope you had a good time! For now all festive items will disappear, but they'll be added back as an optional run in the near future!

Changes:
Ended the winter event
Updated Kickstarter list
Updated translations
Added a proper loading screen

Bug Fixes:
Fixed the "Delete All Saves" and "Delete all progress" buttons
Fixed a glitch where sale prices were not displayed
Ember Shard now sells for the same as other relics
Fixed a glitch where the conductor and conduit wouldn't work together
Getting two different curses in the matching game no longer counts as a match

This will be moved to the main branch shortly!
