Another day, another retro platformer hits our Xbox shelves. This time around, you’ll be joining young protagonist Lara as she ventures across a magical world. Her only sidekick? The titular Magical Backpack.
But fear not, this magical backpack will prove to be your best friend, allowing Lara to soar through the skies of the kingdom she calls home.
Stars and Surprises
Now available on Xbox consoles, Magical Backpack comes to us from developers and publishers Old School Vibes.
Throughout the many levels in the game, you’ll be collecting numerous stars in order to become the Magical Backpack master. Along the way, there will be tons of surprises, tricky challenges, difficult obstacles to overcome, and much, much more. Loop-de-loops, spikes, tiny platforms and extra foes stand in your way between picking up those precious stars.
This is pretty much your standard platforming fare – think the likes of Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog’s greatest ventures, and countless more platformers to release over the years. You get the picture!
