Backpack Hero News

Hey, Backpackers!

We promised to expand Twitch integration when we first introduced it some time ago. Well, here it is - the updated version just made it to the main branch! It's a major improvement compared to what we released in February.

[h3]Twitch integration now works with every character and many more aspects of the game![/h3]
Will your followers bless you with loot, or play against you and enjoy watching you suffer? It's time to find out!
Your chat can decide which boss you'll face and what relics you'll get after the final fight.
By voting on items, effects on you and your enemies, blessings and curses, the chat can make the dungeon feel like a walk in the park or a marathon through hell!
You can customize the poll settings to decide what your viewers can affect.



Things can become extremely demanding now, as you have to not only plan your own strategy but also keep the chat's moves in mind. If you're ready to accept the challenge and test your tactical skills, now is the perfect time! Backpack Hero is part of TactiCon, and you can get it 20% off until May 22nd.

Get the word out to your favorite streamers! And if you're a streamer yourself, we hope you'll give all the new options a try!

Let us know what you think about the new features on Discord or Steam forum. Good luck and have fun!
