Did the game have controller support?
Backpack Battles is controller-supported on PC, and also you can enjoy it on SteamDeck.

Will there be a Mac / Mobile / Consoles version?
Mobile port is confirmed. We hope you can enjoy Backpack Battles on more platforms, however, due to Godot engine technical problems, consoles are still under discussion. More information will be revealed here soon.

How does matchmaking work?
You are matched asynchronously with builds of players that played recently and in the same version. Your opponent has a similar rank as you, and is in the same round with a similar number of wins.

Can I cheat/modify game files?
This is a PVP game, and the system will submit your builds to the server, so please do NOT try any form of cheating. Generally speaking, discussing cheating in the community is also NOT allowed.

However, we will not stop you from modifying the game. We are generally fine with visual changes, but anything that affects in-game values or mechanics in any way (for example: rank, trophies, etc.) is a bad idea. If you are unsure, please ask us before modifying our game.

Additionally, please do NOT redistribute our game, any part of the source code, or any other files in any way.


The balance patch is too frequent / Please don’t nerf my favorite build so soon.
We have received a lot of feedback from the community. We plan to slow down update balance frequency in the future and focus on item diversity.

Other languages?
We want to have coverage of English, Simplified Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Korean, LATAM Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Russian.

If you are willing to help us translate to other languages, please contact us on Discord anytime.

I caught some bugs.
We have only two developers, so it would be helpful if you report them to us in the Steam community thread or Discord.

I have some suggestions.
We are happy to hear any constructive advice from our players. Please feel free to post in the Steam community / Discord!

Hello. Taking into account the offline operation of the game and the inability to make a match with specific players (i.e. it's just a pvp simulator), is it planned to introduce an official save editor, endless mode and the like?

Здравствуйте. С учётом работы игры оффлайн и невозможности сделать матч с конкретными игроками (т.е. это просто симулятор пвп), планируется-ли введение официального редактора сохранений, бесконечного режима и подобного?

It would be cool if the character did not hold weapon during the inventory / shop phase, cuz it's really awkward
