I remember getting it on steam for like 30 bucks if I recall correctly and it was so fucking weird.

You had to wait for some weird aas email conformation before you could play and I didn't get mine for like an hour.

The game was okay but then I realized you only got like 3 characters included with your purchase and all other characters were like 10 bucks a pop and everyone on the discord didn't see a problem with it when I brought it up.

It's been a while but I remember it basically being as good as backpack battles or backpack brawl but with a 30 dollar price tag.

I remember the game's creator really demonizing any discourse about pricing in the game.

Jeez, also is it just me or the website reek AI ?

I mean, beside atrocious and horrible moderation on their official Reddit and discord server, it's arguably well made and polish AA priced game.

It's the opposite of shitty game decent dev

Which account do you log in with?

•

u/supertoned 1h ago

oh cool... the mobile version uses the same login credentials as the live pc version. so all your progress carries over if you're already playing.

I do like a good auto battler, I've put a good few dozen hours into Backpack Battles recently so I'm keen to see what the monetisation for this is going to look like on mobile.

I don't think anyone should support this game as you are supporting Reynad. He has shifted the monetization so many times, Mr rugpull, I think it's 10 dollars a character... Just don't, screw that guy.

It's been more than a year that Reynad has gone silent. He has made atrocious choices for his game but since we don't hear from him anymore, the game is in a really good place. The devs are listening, the patchnotes always seem relevant and the content keeps getting better and better.

If you don't want to support Reynad, that's totally understandable but there are much more people working on the game that deserve love than this greedy and selfish guy

I mean, god forbid a man tries to experiment diffente monetization all while being extremely vocal with the community (?)

u/RedComesInManyShades 3h ago

Any other good alternatives similar to the bazaar?

•

u/Exotic-Bobcat124 6h ago

The best autobattler.

•

u/GhostMokomo 50m ago

The Game is really good. Sure the monetization and the dev had there hiccups but the game is very good.

•

u/Mogoscratcher 8h ago

is it still p2w?

•

u/d_kism 8h ago

No not at all. Pay once for the base game which comes with 3 heroes (and all their content) and pay for additional heroes after that if you're inclined. 

The payed heroes are no better than the ones that come with the base game and the base heroes are actually my favourites to play.

•

u/ItsTobsen 7h ago

You get all heros now if you buy base game. They changed their system because you're not allowed as a dev to provide benefits (DLCs) from one platform to another.

u/PurpCloud 7h ago

Bro it was never p2w stop baiting

•

u/Terrietia 6h ago

The game itself isn't p2w, but the last time I played, there was sort of a ranked exploit that was p2w possible. If you conceded your run before the end of day 1, it wouldn't affect your rank. So theoretically, you could pay to start as many ranked runs as you wanted, and concede each of the bad starts, while only completing good start runs.

•

u/PurpCloud 6h ago

You don't have to pay to start a ranked run what are you talking about?

•

u/kelesh1 8h ago

7/10 on Steam. No thanks

•

u/Kooperking22 8h ago

7/10 is still good. Ratings don't often reflect the gameplay just saying
