[h2]Hey, Backpackers![/h2]

We’ve noticed that some of you that prefer the classic Backpack Hero gameplay can’t find it anymore. Don’t worry though - it’s still there! You don’t have to go through the Story Mode and unlock everything to enjoy fighting foes in the dungeons with all the items available.



You can find the classic gameplay with everything unlocked under the Start Quick Game option!
We see that the name we chose for this mode caused some confusion - sorry about that! We’re thinking of changing it so that it’s easier to find. Classic Mode, Dungeon Mode, Standard Mode, or maybe something else? Let us know if you have any ideas!

As always, thanks for all your feedback and support ❤️ We’ll continue to work on fixing all the issues you report!

[h2]Hey, Backpackers![/h2]

Some of you might be wondering: “so, what’s actually different between the 1.0 and Early Access version?”. Well, wonder no more - here are the main features that came with Backpack Hero’s full release!

[h3] Meta progression[/h3]
Something many of you have been waiting for! No more throwing you in at the deep end - your journey will begin with the basics. The game now guides you through the dungeons, gradually unlocking more and more possibilities to fight more and more powerful foes. All the loot will have an impact on your future runs and the town’s development. Plan your actions well - you can unlock new items using the ones you’ve already found.



[h3] Story Mode[/h3]
Meta progression is strongly connected with yet another feature introduced in 1.0 - Story Mode. It comes with a whole new gameplay experience that adds hours of fun! You can discover the lore and meet new characters while rebuilding the charming town of Haversack Hill. Taking things step by step, following the questline, and gradually unlocking new things will help you learn Backpack Hero’s basic mechanics - it’s a great option for both players new to the roguelike world and seasoned backpackers looking to discover the stories behind the characters they know well!



[h3]⚠️ We know that not everyone wants to jump into the Story Mode - you can still find the classic gameplay with everything unlocked under the Start Quick Game option![/h3]

[h3] Achievements[/h3]
Achievement hunters can now begin their quest to complete them all! Unlock 35 achievements - some of them you’ll unlock by simply playing the game, but some others require a lot of effort! We have ideas for many more, but that’s for later… 🤫



[h3] If you haven’t played in a long while, or you’ve only tried the Demo, there’s even more new stuff![/h3] There are plenty of reasons to jump back into the game now! Try all five characters, each with distinct gameplay mechanics. Create one-of-a-kind builds with over 800 unique items that you can learn more about in an improved atlas. Dive deep into the dungeons to fight over 100 different foes. Enrich your experience with incredible community-created mods. Enjoy Backpack Hero on Steam Deck or play comfortably with a controller!



We hope you’re having lots of fun with all the new content! Let us know what your favorite parts are!
Thanks for all the love, support and feedback you’re sharing ❤️
