About The Adventurer and His Backpack
The game is just a self-developed small relaxing game, please do not expect too much from it. In my point of view, as long as the current game is better than the previous, I have achieved my objective.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The adventure game style is tilted more to the quirky side with different game modes resulting in different objectives but the overall game style will stay the same.
This game has a seed generation mode which will enable players to share and compete against each other, just enter the seed generated.
Instructions：
1.Use the left mouse button to move items between the equipment menu and the backpack.
2.Use the right mouse button to use consumables.
3.Click on the backpack button to raise its panel to view the backpack inventory.
4.The game ends immediately upon death, each different game mode has its own score calculation.
5.There're 3 choices upon meeting a monster:
·Attack —— Attack the monster, might land a critical hit or dodged by the monster, speed will be the factor to determine who attacks first.
·Escape —— The success rate is determined by the speed difference, a successful escape will grant no rewards and move on to the next day.
·Settle with gold coins —— Use a certain amount of gold coins to win and get the rewards without combat. The amount of gold coins required is the total sum of the rewards' purchase price.
6.You'll find a shop every 10 days, hold down the keyboard CTRL button and click with the left mouse button to sell. Items can only be sold at the shop.
Stats Related：
1.Normal Damage Calculation —— （Physical attack of attacker - physical defense of target） + （Magical attack of attacker - magical defense of target） = Normal Damage. Which means that both physical and magical damage will be dealt when applicable.
2.Swapping equipment will not reduce current health points, rest assure while swapping.
3.The type of property from each obtainable equipment will not change, but the value of the property will scale according to progress.
4.Each type of monster has its own unique property which will scale according to progress.

✦ AI summary
The Adventurer and His Backpack is criticized by most players as an extremely barebones, poorly constructed clicker game that strips away nearly all interaction typical of RPGs, leaving only menu navigation and basic stat management without meaningful gameplay. Common complaints include severe balance issues that make progression frustrating, a lack of content and depth, and technical shortcomings that fail to meet standard PC gaming expectations. Some players acknowledge the concept has potential and note the game may improve with updates, while others find it passable for idle farming.
"The Adventurer and His Backpack" is a very poorly made, well, my instinct is to call this a browser game because it might as well have been done in HTML. It's a simple menu clicker... imagine an RPG with all the interaction removed, just encounters popping up in front of you in a window. Less going on here than a 1980's console JRPG. It's barely a game! So all you do here is just plug away at RPG stats and a bit of drag and drop inventory management. No moving around or anything... movement is just too complicated for game development in 2017! So this is a very bland barebones RPG system without a game on top of it. Worth avoiding. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality. Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lacklustre 2D visuals. The game features simple, cartoony 2D graphics, of the type you normally expect to see in low effort mobile apps.…4 found this helpful

Fun at start, but gets quite boring. Missing lots of stuff init - maybe ill try it later when its more updated.1 found this helpful
It really is quite bad. What I don't understand is why Steam have allowed this badly crafted game to have trading cards, but a game I published has been waiting years to be granted permission to have trading cards. I'm also disappointed that you can't eat shorts. Although, footwear doesn't come in pairs, which is pretty unique, but it means you always have two left feet. Bizarre.1 found this helpful
Too unbalanced, always in the 2 monster I already can't do anything except try to scape. My character always end up dead. I hope that the games does improve since I liked the idea of the game but it is too unbalanced in my gameplays at least.
The Adventurer and His Backpack 10/10
