About the Game

Prepare your backpack!

Buy rare and legendary items and organize them to make powerful builds.

Then battle other players with it!

In Backpack Battles, you fight with your backpack full of items. It matters what you buy, and especially how you place it! The smarter you place your items, the stronger you will be!

Items come in different shapes, sizes, prices, and rarities. Combine them into even stronger equipment.

Brew a powerful potion, craft a legendary weapon, or hatch a dragon friend!

There are over 500 different items to choose from!

Face the builds of other players in different game modes:

  • Unranked: Low pressure without timers

  • Ranked: Gain points against equal opponents, but still at your own pace

  • Custom rules: Play unranked but change gold, maximum health, and more

  • Lobbies: Match friends or streamers live with a timer!

See what they came up with, and counter them.

Pick one of 7 classes depending on your play style, each of them with 5 subclasses!

Do you want heavy crits or poison damage over time? Or squirrels?
