"What to Play on the Weekend" is a weekly game recommendation from Touch Editors. Every weekend, we will each recommend a new game of the week (occasionally there will be old games), which may be PC or console games, or mobile games, for everyone's reference and choice; It may also be a collective tasting of a popular or distinctive game, giving readers and friends multiple perspectives of a game.
When you're in bed on the weekend and haven't decided what to do next, it's better to see if there's anything you're interested in in our options, and readers and developer friends are welcome to ask us for coverage.
Liu Wengting: Backpack Hero (Steam)
Keywords: maze exploration, roguelike, pixel style
One word recommendation: let me stuff one more piece!
Instead of building decks, stuff everything into your bag! Backpack Hero is such a roguelike game with "backpack" as the core. Players will have to play as a small mouse carrying a heavy package, or a frog that can use "magic carvings" to explore ancient dungeons, labyrinths, and swamps. Collect items, tuck them into your backpack, choose and sift through items appropriately, and finally form your own tactics and gameplay.
Carvings, staffs and protectors
The features and wonders of the game also lie in backpacks. Compared to the previous Roguelike dungeon exploration games with unlimited item slots, you need to spend more time organizing your backpack space when playing Backpack Heroes. Whether it's an attack weapon, a armor that automatically stacks block values every turn, gold coins, staffs, relics that give various buffs, mana stones for storing mana, and leftover dishes... All need to be tucked into your limited number of bags.
How to plan a backpack became a top priority. If you don't stuff the gold you earn after each battle into your bag at the beginning, you may only realize you're penniless when you meet a merchant. The "kitchen knife" with a chain effect seems to be very beautiful, but it is encroaching on your few grids little by little. A full set of armor that stacks blocks each turn can greatly improve your survivability, but they must be placed in the right place to work. You may become a "space management master" in the game, trying to tuck every item into every slot, but soon you will encounter new problems - the curse imposed on you by the enemy will even occupy the slot of the backpack!
With a chain effect of the "kitchen knife" series, filling the bag with kitchen knives may also become a way of thinking?
Combinations of various weapons and items also have different effects, for example, spell stones need to be connected to a wand to function correctly. In addition, helmets can only be placed on the top layer, shoes can only be placed on the bottom layer, and they will also invalidate other hats and shoes - in other words, only one piece of each can be equipped. It is also a pleasure to find ways to maximize the profit by rationally adjusting the arrangement of props in the backpack.
The shape of the backpack increases damage by snapping the weapon that should have been "sinking" at the very top
The game has currently released a free beta version on the Steam platform, and the first Early Access version will be released on August 16, when more props and guidance will be added to the existing one, which is worth looking forward to.

Yuan Weiteng: Apocalypse (Multi-Platform)
Keywords: cartoon, violent, roguelike, contrast cute
One word recommendation: can't be deceived by looks!
"The lamb was caught! It looked almost crying, so pitiful! ”
"An executioner with an axe. What does he want to do? Oh no, don't do it. ”
"What, the lamb is so powerful! Where did you get that sword?" Yes, hit! Cut back! Wow, that's a bit bloody. ”
"Uh... Lamb, that, can you not be so happy when you cut people. ”
Oh no!!
Enough is enough, you give me a little convergence!
Cult of the Lamb is a strange game that blends roguelike and business simulation elements. Players need to control the Holy Sheep, the last descendant of the Sheep Clan, to get help from strange gods when their lives are at stake, establish the Sacred Sheep faith, and kill the Great Demon. According to the official introduction, the ultimate goal of the game is to co-opt a group of "loyal followers of the forest" and eventually "unify the whole territory".
The biggest feature of "The Revelation of Pak" is... Contrast cute. The lamb is cute (presses the R3 button and barks), but for most of the game, it wields a giant axe to chop its opponent to pieces. Within its own ranks, it also oppresses dissidents and forces older believers who have lost their labor force to make sacrifices... It's a sheep that can't be disguised. However, because the painting style is cute, the bad things done by the lambs are also beautified, and there is an inexplicable sense of pleasure in playing. I suspect that the human nature of destroying good things is at work!
Reveal your nature!
The simulated management part of the game accounts for a lot, even more than the combat link. Players can experience the joy of creating an organization and carrying it forward. The development of the organization is directly linked to the strength of the Holy Sheep, and the internal belief in the Holy Sheep can be transformed into advanced skills, weapons and spells. So development is an important thing to do, to ensure that the player has enough ability to enter the dungeon and destroy the enemy.
The Lord himself did it
We previously recommended a demo version of The Revelations, and the day before yesterday (August 11), the game was officially launched. I tried the full game ahead of time and encountered some bugs, but the overall quality is good. The game is currently priced at 118 yuan in steam and supports Chinese.

Zhu Siqi: "The People" (Steam)
Keywords: simulated management, farming, strategy
One word recommendation: it seems to be a simple but complex simulation business game.
Clanfolk is a business simulation game that starts from scratch and builds your own clan. Players start from scratch on a Scottish plateau, start from scratch, and develop a clan. At the beginning, the resources given to you are poor, there is a couple, a pair of children and an elderly couple, starting from the primitive society of collecting berries, and gradually unlocking more advanced technology trees. Soon, you can watch people gradually move from sleeping floors to thatched houses, start rubbing hemp rope, mining, building charcoal kilns, eating more and more advanced, and the quality of life is getting better and better.
The painting style of the little people in the family is a bit magical
The game's art style is very simple, and the UI and various menus look very complicated, so it doesn't look particularly good at first glance. But on closer inspection, the game's design is actually very elaborate, and the step-by-step climbing of the technology tree and the resource management to ensure that the natural circulation ability is not exceeded are very gradual. Each character also has their own preferences and good at things, and it takes more effort to ensure their quality of life.
In addition, what is more real is that the "fire prevention" in the game is a particularly important thing, and it is necessary to set up various isolation belts, prohibit storage areas, etc., to avoid burning the family property if you are not careful...
It is best to set up isolation zones near all fire sources, because there will be Mars floating out randomly
There are a lot of tools and crops that need to be unlocked slowly
There is something special about this work. Because the in-game day is quite long, it has a sense of planning and strategy compared to the relatively hardcore survival games such as Famine and Lack of Oxygen, which are not as strong as the complex systems of the game try to represent.
However, similar to similar games, once you start playing Clan, the game will become a black hole in time, and the daily affairs will be so full that the player as the commander cannot sit idle. The game content is still very rich, and it is worth trying players who like this type. At present, the game has been listed on Steam, and the price is 79 yuan.

Yang Zongshuo: "Double-Point Campus" (Multi-platform)
Keywords: simulated business, "double point"
One sentence recommendation: "Students please note that students have no leisure time, this is the reality." ”
In May this year, my colleague Zhu Jiayin had already introduced "Two Point Campus" to everyone in advance, and it was finally officially released this week. Mr. Zhu is a true fan of simulation management, and I even feel that the touch music editorial department is also part of his simulation - but anyway, I am not as professional in this direction as he is, I have played many games of the same type, and "Double Point Campus" mainly attracts me to 3 points - simple, "double point", the first XGP.
I'm a novice with little talent, most of the business simulation games on the market are a bit complicated for me, I've gone through several bankruptcies, zoos, restaurants, amusement parks... There were others, they were all good games, but I couldn't keep going. "Two-Point Campus" is a little more considerate in this regard, the game will directly tell me the logic of the operation, and when the mouse hovers, it can also explain what to do next.
Put the mouse up and you know what to do
The name "Double Point" is responsible for the "fun" part of the game, which is not badly done, and although you know it can't be a timeless classic like Theme Hospital, it's still fun to play and occasionally reminds me of my college days.
"Please note that I am not your mother." The background sound of the game is now coming out through my stereo. Most of the time these narrations are quite interesting, but unfortunately it is a little repetitive to listen to.
Not to learn at all!
As for getting into XGP – I think it's probably a gift from nature, and I think of it right now for all XGP games. Paying is just a moment, fun can last for 3 years! Like all these crap I bought for the school in "Double Point Campus", who knows what this thing can do, buy it and try it first.
There are several colleges waiting to be run
At present, "Two-Point Campus" can be played on multiple platforms, PS, Switch, Xbox, Windows, Mac (support for Mac, great), basically mainstream platforms are covered. Steam is priced at 228 yuan, supporting Chinese subtitles and voice; Switch Hong Kong Service (exclusive Chinese) is priced at HK$308; Other hosting platforms are also similar, slightly expensive, I recommend you to use XGP first.
