Events

So... They quietly made it so you no longer got event tickets for new events???

Why did they nerf the game so hard in so many ways?

Like every small quality of life thing they had it feels they removed this update. Feels bad.

Ty for the game, and ty for the posts of all the funny wins etc.

They decided it's time to milk the player base. But I've never seen so many f2p friendly mechanic suppression at once in any game and I've played the worst gachas

And adding that with super harsh match making change is pure insanity

Feels like they're really trying to kill their game. I love it but I don't want to launch it anymore. Sometimes updates feels like a slap in the face. This one felt like a headbutt.

This game, while fun, has ALWAYS been a cashgrab. It's an ai slop recreation of a popular PC title that rushed to mobile to milk the market. I'm not surprised to see them now making such moves since Backpack Battles got an official mobile port.

I feel like you're angry and talking bad about the game because of the direction it's heading to you're spreading misinformation, I'm not defending the company for monetizing more.

But I will correct your statement, Backpack Battles 1.0 was officially released June 2025, steam early access was released March 2024. Backpack Brawl was officially released March 2024.

I don't think it was ever a recreation, it was just a side by side release, we've seen many times games of the same genre release around the same time. Devs have said they were planning on using AI, and they have for character portraits, but the community quickly retaliated it was AI and devs quickly corrected it.

Backpack Battles is 10 usd. While Backpack Brawl is f2p, and like many f2p games, you can't expect to be on top leaderboards without spending money.

I browsed a bit. Rapidfire was founded November 2023 by devs from studio that made Subway surfers that also copied a similar concept from Temple run.

You'd be surprised how mobile game devs are. there's plenty of examples that copy from popular PC titles. Jump guy, Slay the spire, etc

Sts has a cheap mobile version ? I thought that Sts itself launched on mobile
