Backpack Guardian
Steam
You are the last guardian and the final hope of your people, as the shadows of darkness spread across the land. Strengthen your hero with character traits, abilities, and powerful relics. Each run offers new builds, new choices, and new fates.

But your true power lies in your backpack. Every item you carry can alter your destiny. Strategically position and rotate items of varying sizes to maximize limited space. Items interact with their neighbors, creating unique synergies, amplifying stats, or unlocking hidden effects. Some spells must be inserted into weapons or armor to be unleashed, while others are strengthened by adjacent items.

Ascend through the randomly generated map by choosing your path, starting at the bottom and moving upward. Encounter diverse challenges like enemies, elites, treasure chests, campfires, merchants, and more. Plan your journey wisely!

Choose your path through procedurally generated maps filled with enemies, elites, merchants, cursed shrines, and hidden treasures. Between battles, craft new equipment, gamble with blessings and curses, and adapt your strategy to survive the climb through three deadly Acts.
Every run is different - new loot, new talents, new challenges. How far can you ascend?
