Backpack Hero

A roguelike where your inventory is the core mechanic. You play a small hero exploring dungeons in turn-based fights, and you must fit weapons, items and loot into a limited backpack grid. How you arrange it decides what your character can do. Each run is different, so replay value is high. Is it your kind of game?
