Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Aug 26 → 0.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Backpack Raiders is an interesting twist on the roguelike horde survival genre. I really appreciate that it isn't simply a matter of choosing all the best items, but actually working out how to make the build come together in your backpack. The limitations of bag space and having to work out the ideal arrangement to get synergies makes the process more engaging. Additionally, the player has access to a dash with invulnerability frames, which makes combat feel more dynamic and technical compared to similar games. Pulling off a split-second dodge is tremendously satisfying. As with most roguelikes, part of the joy is discovering which builds are viable, which aren't, and which are just outright overpowered. It's this process of learning that made the game enjoyable for me. If you enjoy inventory management, roguelikes, or both, then you should consider giving Backpack Raiders a try.
Clean gameplay, good atmosphere, and easy to get pulled into for “just one more run.”

The neighbor effects and bag buffs make it super satisfying to spend the extra five minutes between rounds to hyper-optimize your setup. Every rare item you get in the shop becomes a puzzle of how to re-arrange your bag to max out bonuses and DPS. By Round 8, you're gambling on Shovels, Piggy Banks, and re-rolls to pull a Tiny Bag from the shop so you can squeeze in one more neighbor bonus. Then you hop back into the Survivors portion where you now dispense enough Democracy to make a Helldiver jealous. You're no longer worried about dying. You start dashing towards enemies in a mad scramble to slurp up enough money to feed your backpack Tetris addiction. Peak gameplay.
Played a lot leading up to the release and have really enjoyed the game. Pumped to see what has been added with the full release and to continue enjoying it. Love the characters, the weird bug enemies, and the plethora of options for making builds.
What a game! Very addictive, can't stop playing it!
First time I've ever written a Game Review. If that's not any indication of how well this game is, I don't know what is. Absolute blast of a time playing it. Live leaderboard. Highly addictive tetris inventory management and strategy gameplay. Once you think you've mastered it, you find out the gameplay can get significantly harder with match modifications allowing more rewards if you're capable of handling it.
First off - I love the artstyle in this game. The mixture of 2d/3d honestly knocks my socks off. Never seen anything like it. The combat is crispy fast and smooth. Love watching the guns pop off bullets and crush those weird bugs into oblivion. The challenge is my favorite part - the first few times I played - I totally ate **** because I am bad at these types of games, but once I figured out my gun build and got over the learning curve - I was like the little engine that could laughing all the way to the bank. Sound track is groovy and this is honestly a great game. Would love to see Steam deck support down the line ;)
Really enjoyed the build variety and battles!
Really enjoyed this game. The inventory system is great, not to over complicated, like some other games. Good price for what you get. Highly recommended.
Excellent gameplay loop with plenty of fun and a fairly straightforward game design! The world is charming, and even though I haven't explored all of it yet, it's a very fun game to play through: there is a lot of diversity to be found, from the weapons to the builds and items, and it also has a really endearing appeal to it. It's also very nostalgic in a quite specific way, which slowly crawls back to you as you play more nad more and hit "Next Round" once again; the game has that tiny and sweet yet still manages to feel fresh and more than that...fun. Backpack Raiders' central point is that it's fun to play and let it unravel its game design and logistics behind it - slowly understood by the player. with a nice sense of progression and cute characters, it's worth checking out, I think.
