This new Android game, Backpack Attack: Troll Face from AppVillage Global (creators of Super Ball Adventure and Satisort), may evoke mixed reactions depending on your feelings towards the infamous internet troll face meme. Prepare for a nostalgic trip back to the early 2010s!
What's Backpack Attack: Troll Face All About?
This game is a quirky blend of strategy, tower defense, item crafting, and action-packed combat, all starring those iconic troll faces. You'll explore diverse environments – forests, deserts, snowy mountains – collecting unusual tools and treasures. The core gameplay revolves around crafting and upgrading weapons, carefully managing your backpack's limited space, and battling waves of enemies.
The combination of inventory management and combat adds a strategic layer, but the overall concept isn't groundbreaking, and the persistent use of troll faces might be a turn-off for some.
Worth a Try?
Backpack Attack: Troll Face uniquely blends strategy and a specific brand of humor. If you enjoy resource management, gear upgrades, and varied combat scenarios, this free-to-play game (with optional in-app purchases) might be worth checking out on the Google Play Store.
While the game's strongest aspect is its blend of familiar mechanics and an unexpected aesthetic choice, its reliance on a somewhat dated meme might be polarizing. After you've had a look, be sure to check out our other news piece covering the O2Jam Remix reboot.
