Pompo: Backpack Heroes

The graphics look really nice, reminds me of maybe PS2 era quality with some pixel graphics added. The game itself is really easy, and plays itself. It had a nice intro, and then it went into battle. There’s some assorted quests that show up, are really easy, and give you stars. But besides manually leveling some characters the game literally played itself for an hour and I didn’t die once. No input, the game just plays itself. No tactics necessary. If you’re looking for a game that is nice to look at while you do nothing, this game is for you.

The game itself it’s quite fun and is great to kill time. BUT once you get to a certain point it takes so much to level your Pompo. Which in a way isn’t horrible because I do like a grind just not one that takes me days instead of maybe a few hours for a phone game. BUT my real complaint is all the let’s call them “battle passes” you have to spend real money to complete them. If it was a few dollars that’s fine but it’s not if you paid to get passed all the places it forces you to pay it’s $100+ and the game just came out.

This game is very interesting as it has a bit of story, then grinding to quest and build up the hero. It is like other idle games but the visuals and smoothness of the gameplay stand out. I find this game peaceful to play with the cool sound track and easy on the eyes visuals. Try it out!
