Packed Legacy

Packed Legacy is a fantasy survival RPG where the way you pack your bag decides the fight.

Every weapon, shield, potion and charm takes up space in a grid backpack. In battle your party fights on its own: each item fires on its own timer, and items placed side by side can form combos. Your job is to pack well before the fight starts.

Inspired by tabletop RPGs, Backpack Battles and Black Survival. Packed Legacy is an independent game and is not affiliated with any of them.

WHAT YOU DO

- Pack the bag. Fit weapons, armor and trinkets into each hero's grid. Find combos by placing the right items next to each other.

- Build a party. Create a hero from 3 races and 3 classes, pick feats as you level up, and hire up to 3 more members at the guild.

- Survive the wilds. Time passes as you explore. Hunger, fatigue, weather and the seasons all wear your party down. Cook meals, pitch a tent, or get back to town.

- Hunt and craft. Monsters drop parts. The smith turns them into better gear and infuses weapons with elements.

- Grow your guild. Take quests, earn reputation and climb from rank F to rank S.

PLAYTEST BUILD

This is an early playtest. Three races (Human, Elf, Beastkin) and three classes (Fighter, Ranger, Cleric) are playable. Balance is still being tuned, and saves may be reset between builds.

Play in the browser on this page, or download the Windows version below. The browser version keeps saves in your browser, so clearing site data will delete them.

PLANNED

No dates yet, and plans may change as the game grows.

- Long-term guild building: growing your party into something bigger over time.

- More content: new areas, monsters, bosses and gear.

- Deeper combat and survival.

- Better presentation: music and human-made art to replace the AI-generated art.

CONTROLS

Mouse, plus a few keys. Drag to move items, R to rotate, Shift+drag to split a stack, drop an item on the same item to merge.

ABOUT AI USE

Packed Legacy is designed and directed by a solo developer. I use AI tools to build it:

- Code: written with an AI coding assistant (Claude) from my designs, then tested and reviewed by me.

- Text: item, skill and interface text is drafted and translated with AI from my designs, then edited by me.

- Art: characters, NPCs, monsters and backgrounds were generated with PixelLab, then selected and edited. A few small status and weather icons come from an AI-assisted icon pack (Seveneves.ai).

Made by human artists: item icons (Glionox), user interface (ToffeeCraft), sound effects (Chequered Ink) and font (GGBotNet).

The game idea, systems, rules and balance decisions are my own.
