Backpack Attack: Troll Face Has Strategy, Inventory Management And The Outdated Memes Of 2010s

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 blend of gameplay elements: strategy, tower defense, item crafting, and action-packed combat, all featuring the once-viral troll-face characters. Prepare for a nostalgic (or perhaps frustrating) trip back to the early 2010s meme scene.

Gameplay Overview:

Backpack Attack: Troll Face plunges players into diverse environments—forests, deserts, snowy mountains—where they collect tools and treasures. The core gameplay loop revolves around crafting and upgrading weapons, carefully managing limited backpack space, and repelling waves of enemies. The blend of inventory management, weapon upgrades, and strategic combat offers a degree of engagement, though the core mechanics aren't entirely novel. The persistent troll-face theme may prove divisive.

Worth a Try?

Backpack Attack: Troll Face uniquely combines strategic gameplay with a potentially humorous (or irritating) aesthetic. Fans of resource management, gear upgrades, and varied combat scenarios might find it appealing. Its strongest point is the unexpected fusion of familiar mechanics and a quirky visual style. The game is free-to-play with optional in-app purchases. Download it from the Google Play Store and give it a shot!
