Backpack Battles

About this game

In Backpack Battles, you fight using items from your backpack. Your combat power depends on item choices, and most importantly, how you arrange them inside the backpack! Better arrangement means greater strength!

Items vary in size, shape, price, and rarity. Combine different items to craft even more powerful gear. Brew potent potions, forge legendary weapons, and even hatch dragon eggs!

You'll face the backpack setups of real players. Study their strategies and find ways to win.

Climb the ranks in Competitive Mode to see how high you can go, or relax in Casual Mode. Both modes are untimed—take your time to organize your backpack!

Ratings and reviews

I will say compared to the top competitor this is not mobile-friendly. That being said, this is the OG of the backpack idle battler genre which is why I bought the game. I wish there were features to make it easier to move around items and some UI buttons that will show upgrade paths (something that the competitor excels at). This is more like a 3.5/5 than a 3/5

Awesome and addicting, just like the Steam version. Don't see any differences so far except that the controls take a little getting used to on mobile, which is understandable. Smart pen helps with moving items, but the only drawback is I haven't found a way to rotate using a pen, only fingers. Small price to pay for hours of fun. Progress is not kept from the Steam version, which is understandable. I love they kept the price low, no store/p2w, and respect privacy. Other devs, copy these guys!

I absolutely love this game on PC, so I'm giving it 5 stars. However, the mobile port currently leaves a lot to be desired. Everything is small even on an S25 Ultra. It is a fixed aspect ratio with black letterboxing. If I didn't know the game already, there's no tutorial. There's nowhere that says dragging and touching the screen again rotates items. The bottom controls are not explained. (Undo, redo, inspect crafting, lock items) Attempting to change your name doesn't bring up the keyboard.
