[h3]Hi everyone,[/h3] This week, we announced that Backpack Battles is going into Early Access on March 8th, 2024! Which is in less than 50 days! And we received a ton of very nice messages from you! ♥ In case you missed it, check out the [url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2427700/view/7218773835683119709]announcement post[/url]! The 0.7.5 update adds a new shield that you can craft, the [b]Moon Shield[/b]. It interacts with Mana and Block-generating items and can shield from melee and ranged attacks.

Also, the health your items healed is now tracked in the [b]Heal meter[/b] (switch to it using the dropdown menu in the damage meter). There are balancing changes as always, check them out below or in the in-game patch notes. [h3]Joining the community[/h3] Found a bug? Want to share fanart or BPB content?
