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.
About

Decades after a catastrophic event wiped humanity off the map, mutated bugs rose from the ruins and turned entire cities into their hives.
You are a mercenary-for-hire, one of the rare survivors trained to breach the infested city walls and bring back what everyone else fears to touch: bug parts. Valuable, volatile, and vital for making a profit in the new world.


Dash, shoot, blast, or slice your way through escalating swarms in quick waves.
Find weapons, merge upgrades, and create powerful builds as you fight to survive long enough for extraction.
Auto-firing and manual-aim hybrid combat
Runs designed to be quick, chaotic, and endlessly replayable
Hundreds of items and endless synergies

Your backpack is your build.
Every weapon, trinket, attachment, and oddity fits into a grid-based inventory where position, adjacency, and orientation matter.
Discover items with unique shapes and effects
Build insane synergies based on placement
Merge items into new and powerful tools
Pack smarter. Live longer.

Raid the city, earn supplies, and use them between runs to construct buildings that grant permanent, run-boosting upgrades. Place workshops, armories, trading posts, and other specialty structures, each offering powerful bonuses, new unlocks, and stronger starting loadouts.
Expand your outpost and place buildings strategically to create powerful synergies
Unlock new mercenaries and loadouts by constructing specialized housing and facilities
Unlock buildings that allow you to set the difficulty and earn better rewards

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.
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.

Very fun! I only had one issue with the game by selecting "Options" first, then clicked on "Return to Base". Doing that made it so that I couldn't click on anything or use keyboard dpads to start. I restarted the game afterwards and clicked "Play" instead and everything worked great after that.
1000000% underrated game, wonderful hidden gem that absolutely scratched my bullet heaven/roguelite itch. the backpack inventory management system is awesome and really makes it stand out from other bulletheaven autoshooters. worth the money and ive barely unlocked anything yet.
Good merge between arena shooter roguelike and backpack management. I've been following this game's development and liked every addition so far. Love the huge swarm destruction potential and small references scattered throughout. Will stay to check out all the remaining weapons and then some to find all the new cool content as it drops.
I mean it´s ok, but way too complex
Would recommend if you like backpack style games combined with bullet-hell!
I love how modular the game design is here; it elevates the survivor-like genre and adds so much more variability. It has that "one more run" mentality
Fun game, combining a few of my current favorites- roguelite, backpack, bulletheaven. Downside (and a huge why?) No controller support - it's baffling why it's not. Easily an 8/10 if it had it, as it stands, 5/10 (I don't want to have to drag my whole keyboard/mouse up to play and have to shuffle them off my lap when I get interrupted.
