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 (or potentially irritating) trip back to the early 2010s!
What's Backpack Attack: Troll Face All About?
The game is a curious blend of genres: strategy, tower defense, crafting, and action-packed combat, all featuring the iconic (and perhaps outdated) troll face characters. You'll traverse diverse environments – forests, deserts, snowy mountains – collecting unusual tools and treasures. The core gameplay loop revolves around crafting and upgrading weapons, carefully managing your limited backpack inventory, and repelling waves of enemies.
The combination of inventory management, weapon/armor upgrades, and strategic battles against varied enemies and bosses provides a degree of engagement. However, the core mechanics aren't groundbreaking, and the persistent use of troll faces may prove off-putting to some.
Worth a Try?
Backpack Attack: Troll Face attempts a fusion of strategy and humor, an approach that may or may not appeal to all players. If resource management, gear upgrades, and diverse combat scenarios sound enticing, this free-to-play game (with optional in-app purchases) might be worth investigating on the Google Play Store.
The game's most compelling aspect is its unique blend of familiar gameplay mechanics and unexpected elements. Check it out!
