Reviews

“The game looks cute and clever, and it seems the most fun awaits in fighting the backlogs of your friends and shaming them for their life decisions.”
PC Gamer

“In Game Quest: The Backlog Battler, your primary opponent is your Steam library. Somehow, that's not even the best part.”
Polygon

“The most meta game about games I think I’ve ever seen”
Kotaku

About This Game

Armed with your trusty keyboard and mouse, battle the games you never play! The more you paid for them, the more damage they will do to you (just like in real life).

Fight in an arena surrounded by your well-played spectator games, while the immortal royalty (the games you have never played) lord over you at the end of the arena.

Games you played for up to two hours will attack you in waves - but watch out for flying enemies (high Metacritic score), Platform supported enemies, DLC enemies and Controller Supported enemies; amongst many more!

** IMPORTANT ** To get the most out of this game (Play your game list instead of the Default/Friends game lists), you will need to set your "Game details" to public on your Steam profile (Your Profile->Edit Profile->Privacy Settings->Game Details). You can set it back to private after you load the game for the first time.
