Auto-Battlers are essentially battle games that allow you to focus on aspects other than battle. What does this mean? It essentially means that you can focus on other elements of it while the game handles the battles for you. This is true for Backpack Battles. This auto-battler and inventory management game allows you to pick up loot from a battle, upgrade, and improve your backpack and craft to your heart’s content. All of this makes it possible for you to enjoy the inventory management aspect of the game while the battles are handled for you.
Backpack Battles has made quite a splash in this genre. Ever since the game’s demo release on Itch.io, Crazy Games, and Steam, many players have been curious to know whether it will be available for download on iOS and Android. Fortunately, the developer has responded to this request, and we have shared all the details regarding an Android and iOS release of Backpack Battles in the next section.
Backpack Battles Mobile (Android) & iOS devices details: Is it available to download?
The developers of the game have made it such that you can download the game to Windows devices from their official website. The game here is free, and you can bypass the payment link entirely. All you need to do is click the ‘No take me to the downloads’ button. You can also wait for it to be fully released on Steam (expected in 2024). However, if you didn’t already know, you can play the game via your web browser too, even on your mobile device. However, since the web app version doesn’t fully support the mobile platform, players frequently encounter various glitches in-game, which is why many are interested in knowing when the game will be available to download on Android & iOS devices.
Is it coming to Mobile?
Well, yes and no. As of right now, the developer is sparse with details. They are not offering up too much other than an intention. The developer has responded that there is a chance that a mobile version is going to be released, but if it happens, it will only be after the PC release (April 2024). Well, there are various Discord posts about the development of an iOS version of the game for iPhone and iPad. This is a great development since it will mean this game will finally be available to download on mobile devices. Since the game itself is not too demanding, this is a good idea. The developer can increase their reach by making the game available on Android and iOS. The quaint art and the easy-to-handle controls will also be playable on most generations of phones. Modern smartphones aside, even older phones from 3–4 years ago should be able to handle the load of this game.
Mobile release date?
There is no effective timeline for the game’s mobile release, but we hope it will be soon after its official release on Steam. The Steam version is currently scheduled for an April 2024 release, so it is expected that an Android and iOS version might be made available around August–October 2024. Essentially, around Q2 or Q3 of the year. However, do note that this is just speculation from our side and not a confirmed update, so make sure to take it with a pinch of salt.
