This new Android game, Backpack Attack: Troll Face by AppVillage Global (creators of Super Ball Adventure and Satisort), might evoke mixed reactions depending on your feelings towards those ubiquitous troll face memes. Prepare for a nostalgic trip back to the early 2010s!
Backpack Attack: Troll Face Gameplay:
This game is a delightful blend of genres: strategy, tower defense, item crafting, and action-packed combat, all featuring the iconic (or infamous, depending on your perspective) troll face characters. You'll traverse diverse environments – forests, deserts, snowy peaks – collecting unusual tools and treasures. The core gameplay loop involves crafting and upgrading weapons, carefully managing your limited backpack inventory, and repelling waves of enemies.
The combination of inventory management and combat adds a strategic layer, but the overall mechanics aren't groundbreaking. The inclusion of the troll faces might be a divisive element.
Worth a Try?
Backpack Attack: Troll Face uniquely combines familiar gameplay with a potentially polarizing aesthetic. If you enjoy resource management, gear upgrades, and battling across varied landscapes, this free-to-play game (with optional in-app purchases) deserves your attention. Its blend of established mechanics and unexpected twists is its strongest asset. Download it from the Google Play Store.
