Listen "Backpack Hero"
Episode Synopsis
Pack your bags and join Josh and Bryan for a dip into this recent rouge-lite with a concept so good its hard to believe it hasn’t been done before: Inventory Tetris as RPG mechanic.

So take a load off and pull out the old Headphones of Listening, to hear the guys’ thoughts on Backpack Hero!Three Word Reviews:Bryan - Bag of TricksJosh - Organization: The Game
