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.
