Backpack Hero belongs in the roguelike conversation because its grid placement, adjacency bonuses, item synergies, character rules, and dungeon fights make packing feel like combat preparation. The run structure is what matters: it asks players to build a plan under uncertainty, then live with the consequences when the run turns ugly.
