About Pack Hero

Pack Hero is a backpack battler roguelike set in a lantern-lit merchant camp. Buy swords, shields, potions and gems, then drag and rotate them into your leather backpack: items that touch the right neighbours light up golden synergy stars. When you are ready, your pack fights a rival's pack on its own — win to earn gold, lose and you drop one of your five hearts.

Buy shaped gear from a dusk-camp merchant, fit it into a stitched leather backpack so touching items power each other up, then watch your pack auto-battle generated rivals round after round.

How to play Pack Hero

Mouse

Drag items from the counter into the backpack. Right-click or press R while dragging to rotate. Click a packed item to select it, click again to rotate. Drag an item back to the merchant to sell it. Press BATTLE! when ready.

Touch

Drag items into the backpack; the piece floats above your finger. Tap with a second finger while dragging to rotate, or tap a packed item twice. Drag it up to the merchant counter to sell. Tap BATTLE! to fight.

Keyboard

Press 1-5 to look at an offer and again to buy it into the best spot, E to reroll, B or Enter to battle, Q to rotate the selected item, Delete to sell it. In battle, Space changes speed and S skips.

💡 Tips & tricks

  • Put a Whetstone, Ruby or Emerald where it touches as many weapons as possible — each touching weapon gets the bonus.
  • Rotate long pieces to keep free space in one block; a bigger pack upgrade is worth more than it looks.
  • Healing potions fire automatically when your HP drops low, so one cheap potion can turn a close fight.
  • Selling returns half the price: swap early commons for rares and legendaries in later rounds.

  • 27 shaped items in four rarities with adjacency synergies
  • Auto-battles with visible cooldown dials, burn, poison and chill
