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 internet troll faces. The game throws together a surprising mix of gameplay elements: strategy, tower defense, crafting, action combat, and, yes, those very same troll faces that once ruled the internet's meme landscape. Expect a nostalgic, perhaps even overwhelming, dose of early 2010s internet culture.
Gameplay Overview:
Backpack Attack: Troll Face plunges you into diverse environments – forests, deserts, snowy mountains – where you collect unusual tools and treasures. The core loop involves crafting and upgrading weapons, carefully managing your limited backpack inventory, and battling waves of enemies. This blend of inventory management, weapon upgrades, and strategic combat provides a degree of engagement, though seasoned gamers may find the formula familiar. The inclusion of troll-faced characters might be a divisive element.
Worth a Play?
Backpack Attack: Troll Face blends strategic gameplay with a dose of (potentially questionable) humor. If you enjoy resource management, gear upgrades, and varied combat scenarios, it's worth investigating. The game's strength lies in its fusion of familiar mechanics with an unexpected, meme-heavy aesthetic. It's free-to-play with optional in-app purchases. Check it out on the Google Play Store.
