Backpack Attack: Troll Face Has Strategy, Inventory Management And The Outdated Memes Of 2010s

The title alone might elicit a groan from anyone familiar with the infamous internet meme—Backpack Attack: Troll Face, a new Android game from AppVillage Global (creators of titles like Super Ball Adventure and Satisort). Prepare for a nostalgic (or potentially irritating) trip down memory lane.

What's Backpack Attack: Troll Face All About?

This game throws a bit of everything into the mix: strategy, tower defense elements, item crafting, action-packed combat, and yes, those ever-present troll faces that once ruled the internet. Expect a full-blown revival of early 2010s memes—whether that's a good thing or not depends entirely on your perspective.

You'll traverse diverse environments, from lush forests and arid deserts to snow-capped mountains, collecting quirky tools and treasures along the way. Your core mission involves crafting and upgrading weapons, carefully managing your limited backpack space, and repelling waves of enemies. The balancing act between inventory management and combat upgrades keeps things interesting, while varied enemies and bosses inject a strategic layer into the battles.

While the gameplay mechanics aren't groundbreaking, the blend of familiar elements and the unexpected (and potentially divisive) addition of troll faces might appeal to some players. Ultimately, it's a game that's not reinventing the wheel, but it does offer a unique presentation.

Will You Give It a Shot?

Backpack Attack: Troll Face blends strategy and humor in a way that might resonate with certain gamers. If you enjoy resource management, gear upgrades, and battling through diverse environments, this free-to-play title (with optional in-app purchases) might be worth checking out on the Google Play Store.
