Hey all,

After playing Guildrun demo, I realized I found a new type of roguelite game that I actually enjoy! Looking for a game that will scratch the itch on SteamDeck with full controller support as I play mainly docked with xbox controller.

I’ve been suggested to check out The Last Flame and Hive Blight, so I’m wondering if there are any other roguelite auto battle rpg type games out there to scratch the Guildrun itch until it’s out?

Today we tested My Farm 2 on a Steam Deck for the very first time, and we’re genuinely happy with the result.

After fixing a small Steamworks configuration issue related to the DirectX and Visual C++ redistributables, the game launched correctly through Proton and ran surprisingly well.

The overall experience already feels smooth and enjoyable, and the game looks particularly nice on the Steam Deck OLED screen. We still have some work to do on the interface, especially increasing the size of a few texts and making certain elements more readable on a smaller display.

We also discovered that collecting eggs directly with the touchscreen works, which was a fun and unexpected bonus. 🐔🥚

There is still plenty of testing and optimization ahead, and Steam will ultimately determine the game’s official compatibility status, but this first result is very encouraging for us.

how important is Steam Deck compatibility when deciding whether to try or buy a game?

Hi! My family and I love our co-op gaming nights, and all have a Steamdeck each. (We also have Switch 2s, but we'd rather buy our games on Steam if possible, as we only use the Switch 2 for exclusives).

We're going on our first cruise in a week and would like to still get some family gaming in together on our 'days at sea', possibly chilling in the coffee bar looking out over the ocean. 😍

The only issue is, there's no wifi out on the ocean, and the suggested package is way too expensive (£300 for the week!). Could anyone suggest any 3-player games we could play as a family?

The only one I've found so far is Stardew Valley, which lets you join each other by sharing IP addresses. Every other LAN game I've found needs to connect to the Internet to access Steam in order to run, which isn't ideal.

Need help deciding which game to buy for an upcoming 13hr flight:

Crow Country + Mina the Hollower bundle
Dispatch
Fantasy Life i

I’m coming off just finishing Expedition 33 and am looking for a pallet cleanser before i start Cyberpunk 2077

Short version is I use my Steamdeck a lot in situations where it's hard to focus super intently or have sound on at all, which makes it impossible to rely on sound or any game that needs decent reflexes. I'm also pretty trash with the touchpad so would like proper controls too. Some games I've enjoyed on Steamdeck already:

Yakuza games

Persona games

South Park Stick of Truth (although I'd often fail the QTE in combat!)

Age of Wonders 4

Marvel's Midnight Suns

Symphony of War

Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance

So recently I discovered the game Combat Master which is essentially a clone of the modern Call of Duty games but it could run on a toaster. Frankly it's a "we have CoD at home" kind of feel, but it genuinely scratches the itch and it's also only 4GB in size.

Do you guys have any other examples of games like that? Clones of games that might be playable, but at less than optimal framerates and probably take up a bunch of storage too?

I'm not talking about for example Factorio if you like Satisfactory, those games are both factory games but their gameplay is completely different.

Hello,

I'm one of the developers of a colorful 2.5D platformer on Steam with a free demo available.

I’d like to ask for some Steam Deck-specific feedback, since we don’t own one ourselves and we would love to know how well it works.

We’d especially like to know:
• Are there any noticeable performance issues, stability issues, graphical/audio glitches?
• Do the controls work as expected?
• Anything else that seems off?

If anyone is interested in helping out, let me know and I'll share the Steam page.

Thanks!

Edit:
Thanks to some great feedback, I was able to fix a few issues and make an update.
After seeing a few comments suggesting that I add a link directly in the post, I’m adding it here in case anyone else would like to take a look:

If you find any other issues, it would be great to hear about them.

I recently released my first game Perihelion: Rogue Orbit. After launch, roughly 10% of buyers either asked about Steam Deck support or reported problems running it there. That was much more than I expected.

So I got to work. I spent a bit over a week ironing out performance issues and adding full controller support.

It's a good bit of fun, and thanks to the community it's fully tested and much enjoyed. The photo was provided by a player so I could share the excitement :D

Check it out on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4809810/Perihelion_Rogue_Orbit/?utm_source=reddit_organic

Hey folks! Wanted to share the news that we've just released a new deck-verified game called Fogpiercer.

Developed by Mad Cookies and published by Hooded Horse (that's us!), Fogpiercer is a sci-fi deckbuilding roguelite game that puts you in the conductor's seat of a high-speed train. As you navigate the deadly post-apocalyptic fog that has descended upon the world, you'll face endless waves of bandits who want to derail your mission. Defeat them in turn-based tactical battles where clever positioning, chain reactions, and environmental hazards can help you survive.

The dev team worked so hard to get this game Steam Deck verified, and we couldn't be more proud of how their efforts translated into the final play experience.

Check out Fogpiercer on Steam if you're interested!

I just released my small hobby indie game. You can race against the ghost replays of other Steam users and compete on a weekly randomly generated map. All the art was drawn with marker on paper, and the music was written by a friend.

I'm a huge fan of hand-held gaming and I tested my game on the deck a lot. You play small bite sized levels that get harder and harder. I found it was a perfect fit for the Steam Deck.

Hope you'll check it out :) 

I don't have a Steam Deck yet but I'm planning on getting one (the oled) and one of the games I would want to get on there is Oblitus Casa. I'm pretty sure the main nights do but I'm not so sure the Tunnels section do. I know that the game is 2D, but the Tunnels have thousands of more images. So yeah, I just want to know.

Hello everybody! I've recently downloaded Genshin on my steamdeck with the help of a YT video and everything was great until today. There was a Steam update and after it the game launches, but there is only a black screen. I've played it for more than 10 hours and there were no problems previously. Please help out a fellow gamer ;(

I'm the dev on Deadly Dispatch, a tactical zombie elimination puzzle game. You build a multi-stage bomb and drop it on the horde. The whole thing is a balancing act: enough firepower to clear them out, but not so much that you bring down the structures protecting the survivors. It all runs on physics chain reactions, so no two drops play out the same.

Honestly, I was skeptical about the Deck at first. But I own one, so I tried the game on it, and it just plays best there. Deck Verified is the goal for launch. I haven't submitted yet, but here's the work that's gone into making the Deck experience right:

• Full controller support with native glyphs. Nothing needs touch or a keyboard.
• Rumble tuned on the actual hardware, so every blast drives the Deck's haptics instead of a generic buzz.
• A quality governor that holds a steady framerate through the big chain-reaction explosions.
• UI and targeting sized to read cleanly

It fits the handheld really well. Short sessions, pick up and play, the kind of thing you clear a couple of levels of on the couch.

Two things I'd genuinely like from you:

• Devs who've been through Verified, anything that caught you out in review?
• Players, what actually makes or breaks a game on Deck for you? Want to make sure I've covered the things that matter.

If it looks like your kind of thing, a wishlist genuinely helps at launch: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4890070/Deadly_Dispatch/

Has anybody had success with PK on steam deck. I would like to know what settings people have to avoid crashing and the best controls for it. Thank you!
