Backpack Battles Patch 1.0.2

[h3]Hi everyone,[/h3][p][/p][p]It's time for more adjustments today![/p][p][/p][p]It is still quite early after the 1.0 release, but more trends have started to show.[/p][p]Mage seems to struggle to find equally strong alternatives to Cupcake Staff, therefore, we are buffing different tools that have not caught on yet, especially chess.[/p][p]For Adventurer, the Ukulele is still a bit too dominant, so there will be another nerf to that. We will keep monitoring how it develops after that.[/p][p][/p][p]Have fun with the new version and see y’all soon! :)[/p][p][/p][h2]Changelog for 1.0.2[/h2][p][/p][p]Neutral[/p]

Backpack Battles Patch 1.0.1

[h3]Hi everyone,[/h3][p][/p][p]It's been almost a week since the 1.0 release! Thank you so much for all the super nice messages you have sent us - we are so glad you enjoy Mage and Adventurer ❤[/p][p]Thanks also for all the great reviews - if you haven't already, it would be amazing if you could leave one, too![/p][p][/p][p]And now it’s time for some early adjustments right after the 1.0 release.[/p][p]Of course, there are many things that need more time to be figured out, so expect more adjustments in the following weeks.[/p][p]Don’t worry, we will make sure the new classes will neither be too strong nor too weak ;)[/p][p][/p][p]An especially interesting build that arose is the one centered around Ukulele with Turbo-Shelly. We think it’s a build worth preserving, but currently goes a bit hard. [/p][p][/p][h2]Changelog for 1.0.1[/h2][p]Ranger[/p]

Surprise hit indie game Backpack Battles launches into 1.0 with two new classes

When I saw the reveal of Resident Evil Requiem, my mind immediately conjured up one of the series' most iconic moments - playing inventory Tetris in RE4. Most don't handle it that well; sorting out your items is typically one of the most frustrating parts of games, with RPGs such as Diablo 4 and Baldur's Gate 3 among the big offenders. Backpack Battles changes that. The indie game proved an instant hit when it launched into early access in 2024, selling 100,000 copies in a single day. Now, just over a year later, Backpack Battles 1.0 is here, adding two new classes and much more, and it's yours for 20% off if you're quick.
