Hi everyone! 🎉
The big Backpack Battles update is READY NOW!
It comes with a completely new class, the Engineer, which alone has over 40 new items!
We recently announced the Engineer's release with a trailer:
For the existing classes, we are adding 35 items, including class-specific and neutral recipes, dual class skills and new treasures!
Somehow we are at a total of 517 items now…
We also put in tons of polish and quality-of-life stuff, including the new edit modes that allow you to edit bags and other items separately and the grid storage as an alternative view on the storage box.
We are so exited to finally get it out there and hope you will like it! 😊
Thank you all for playing our little game!
You will hear from us soon with the usual fixes and balance adjustments to get the new stuff in line.
Doro and Mario ❤
Here’s the changelog for 1.1:
New Content
NEW CLASS: Engineer!
35 NEW ITEMS for the other classes
NEW MODE: Switch Mode (Ranked & Unranked)
Added a toggleable toolbar on the bottom of the screen where you can access undo/redo. Pushing items to storage was moved inside the toolbar.
Added modes for only editing bags and only editing items, where they can be moved freely independent of each other (can be accessed via the toolbar).
Added grid storage mode (can be accessed via the toolbar). Can be zoomed with Ctrl+mouse wheel.
New Ranking season started - Your new ranks will be determined based on your ranks last season.
Added text animations for item names (can be toggled in Options).
Added Keybinds: Undo/Redo, switching between the new inventory edit modes, toggle grid storage (G by default), showing recipe tooltips (Alt by default), open library (Tab by default).
Combat: The sword icons on the status UI now move according to player/opponent health + Block totals
History: Now shows rank gains and losses. Added filters for classes and modes. Now only shows the version of a run if it differs from the current game version. Now shows the number of items and the distinct types. History runs can now be marked as opponent with right click.
Item Library: Ingredients etc. on the info panel can now be spotlighted by clicking them. (also works for recipes shown by pressing Alt) Library can now be zoomed with Ctrl+mouse wheel.
Shop: BGM now has a chance to play the lobby mode track and switch mode track in ranked/unranked mode for variety. Added an animation when an item comes up in the shop that can craft with another item.
Controller Support: Added right stick jumping between points of interest. D-Pad now scrolls scrollbars.

Hi everyone - We have big news today!
A MAJOR content update is coming March 27 including the Engineer and MUCH more.
The big new thing about Engineer is the charge mechanic.
Charges are emitted by items like the Battery or the Generator. They travel through the inventory and buff the item right below them. Different charge emitters often come with different paths and effects.
Engineer has many items that are powered by charges and gain special bonuses while charged in this way. But of course there are other tools as well!
There will also be new items for all the other classes, as well as neutral ones. This includes 7 dual class skills that two classes have access to.
We also have been working on quality of life features, some big, some small.
Here are two that we want to highlight:
Bag edit modes
Can be toggled to “only bags” and “only items”, where you can move items freely.
This should make it easy to arrange bags specifically.
Grid Storage
When the “grid storage” is toggled on, items are arranged in a tidy grid. This should make management easier when the storage gets very full.
Both features can be accessed via the toolbar (mobile players already know that one) and a keybind. And there are many more tools like these coming with the 1.1 update on March 27th.

Hey everyone,
It’s been about three months since the full release of Backpack Battles. During this time, we’ve mainly been rolling out balance updates while also working behind the scenes on the design of a brand-new class. Now, it’s finally time to reveal her!
We’re excited to officially introduce the seventh class coming to Backpack Battles – the Engineer! She’s currently in early development and is planned to release in early 2026. If you own the game, she will be available as a free update!
A core mechanic of the Engineer will be shooting electrical charges, which provide bonuses as they travel over the items in her inventory. Some items can emit these charges, manipulate them, or benefit from them—like the Battery, which actively emits a charge.
In addition to electricity, the Engineer will also explore some secondary themes, such as stamina manipulation and advancing item cooldowns under specific conditions. These systems are still being tested and refined, so things may change before her final release.
We can’t wait for you to try her out and see what strategies you come up with! We’ll share more updates on her development as things progress, so stay tuned!
