## What is Tinwell?

The radio crackles. A shelter called Tinwell is still holding out, and it needs you.

Tinwell is a backpack battle roguelike about surviving the zombie horde. Pack your gear into an 8×8 backpack, link cards into synergies and fuse them into legendary weapons. Your bag fights on its own; the big calls are yours. Then head home and rebuild an underground shelter, room by room.

PACK YOUR BACKPACK
• Drag, rotate and fit your gear into an 8×8 grid. Every cell counts.
• Neighboring cards link up: green arrows add power, blue ones speed, and yellow ones make each hit cost less stamina.
• 317 cards: pistols, shotguns, molotovs, traps, tasers, med kits, electric and acid gear, and wild homemade weapons.
• Put matching cards side by side and fuse them: a Wooden Stick and a Nail Box become a Spiked Club. Link three or four cards for legendary fusions.

A NEW ROAD EVERY RUN
• Every run starts fresh. Draft a card at each level up and rearrange your bag mid-fight.
• An auto backpack battle against the horde: your gear fights on its own while you plan the next move.
• 36 regions across 6 chapters, 40 kinds of zombies and 36 bosses.

SIX CHAPTERS, SIX BAG RULES
• Chapter 1: the classic road, no extra rule.
• Ice Blocks: ice falls into your bag. Cards next to it melt it as they fire, fire cards fastest.
• Rising Water: water fills the bag from the bottom. Wet cards slow down, fire cards go out, electric cards charge up.
• Darkness: ranged cards only fire with a light card next to them.
• Aftershock: every 13 seconds the ground shakes and cards with nothing under them slide down their column.
• Evacuation Cargo: carry a 2×1 supply crate in your bag. The more whole it arrives, the bigger the reward.

DEFEND THE SHELTER
• Sieges: zombie waves hit the gate from both sides. Set turrets and traps and hold the line with your backpack.
• Deep Scavenge: every chapter has its own endless road. How far can you go?

ARENA: DUEL OTHER SURVIVORS
• PvP with saved bags: pick one of your bags, start it empty, draft cards each round and fight the bag another survivor saved at the same round.
• Arena fights are against other players' saved bags, not live, so nobody waits.
• 5 hearts, 10 wins. Scout your rival's bag before you pick, climb 7 leagues from Scrap to Legend, and your wins pay out a chest. Your card levels count.

REBUILD TINWELL
• Dig down through 6 floors and build 12 rooms, from the Card Workshop and Fusion Lab to the Chem Lab and Morgue. Upgrade each one up to level 50.
• Follow Dr. Mira's radio calls, rescue her and find out what happened to the world.

HELP OTHER SHELTERS, CLIMB THE BOARDS
• Radio: answer other shelters' distress signals and get help back. Preset messages only, no free-text chat.
• Daily and weekly leaderboards, weekly Deep Scavenge boards and a Records tab with your lifetime stats.
• Game Center achievements, leaderboards and challenges for your friends.
• Live events such as Pumpkin Night bring their own region, zombies and rewards.

PLAY ANYWHERE
• Plays without internet: runs, the shelter and sieges work offline. The Radio, the leaderboards and the Arena need a connection.
• Full-screen layout on iPad.
• 19 languages. Cute but rugged hand-drawn art, no gore.

Tinwell is a free-to-play backpack battle game with optional in-app purchases.

### 5/5 — Surprising!

*2026-11-06*

Backpack based games like this have become a favorite of mine, since playing Backpack Hero on Steam.

The update has fixed many of my issues with the game, making things more clear and concise. Because of this, I felt the need to write a review! That’s not something I do very often for a phone game. The devs have put a lot of work into this, and I very much enjoy it.

For a F2P, I haven’t felt pressured to spend *tons* of money to enjoy the game, and that’s important to me. I rarely play phone games because of this, and usually prefer Indie Steam games.

Hopefully it stays this way, and the greed doesn’t take over, like I’ve seen from far too many games in the past.
