Comments on Backpack Battles for Android

★★★★★ Grant · Sep 16, 2026

The mobile version has come a long way since release. It's way more optimized in terms of the UI. Gameplay is addictive due to the variety of builds you can use with each class including subclasses. It lets you get creative which keeps things fresh. Finding the right item combos feels so good. Great game.

★★★★☆ Josh (Wolfcape) · May 29, 2026

Controls are a little wonky, such as how difficult it is to sell items, but the core experience is here. Top Backpack management/strategy game to date. Warning: It is very, very addictive.

★★★★☆ Khanra The Dragon · Jul 28, 2026

Saw a youtuber playing this on YouTube and waited for the mobile version to release, gave it a few months to let them work out any bugs and issue updates, recently bought it, and it's fun don't get me wrong, I play it ALOT but the game keeps freezing for several minutes when doing almost anything, and I've had the game crash on me 3 times, first 2 were in the shop, so it wasn't bad, 3rd one was during a ranked battle and I auto lost due to the crash, and the items I saved in shop were gone

★☆☆☆☆ Robert Christie · Sep 19, 2026

I love this game, but im giving you 1 star until you put an undo button in the shop. The controls on phone are so that I'm often over the chest with my finger trying to place something, and instead I sell the dam thing. I've sold my last Falcon Blade before I complained!

★★☆☆☆ Michael Hazzelhoff · Mar 27, 2026

I bought and played the game on PC and I liked it very much and wanted to play it on my phone using s pen stylus but the game doesn't support controls to rotate items using just the stylus (the game expects 2 finger input, could be supported by dragging item to rotation icon) I wanted a refound, but it was denied which is sad because i won't be playing it without proper stylus support.

★★☆☆☆ Justin Krick · Jul 6, 2026

Terrible port, unplayable because moving items and bags is near impossible. It's the worst touch controls I've ever experienced in a mobile game. It's so messed up I uninstalled and won't ever play it on mobile again. It's very frustrating because the PC version is great. Do not buy.

★★☆☆☆ G.R. IV · Jun 15, 2026

The RNG in this game is absolutely hurting this game. I don't understand how the games expects me to have a fun time when I can't even expand my backpack space by more than a 1x1 slot at a time. How is the whole premise of the game somehow missing from every single match I play. The knock off version of this game is way better to be honest.
