I just wish Slay the Spire worked as well. I mean it works, but you can tell controller support was definitely an afterthought. But those 2 games are probably most of my played hours on it.
eh? the controls for slay the spire are very simple, you could easily get away with mapping keyboard keys to the controls or just using the touchpad…
If you wanted to get fancy you could even map the touchpad to the card selection area (for easy peek and choose) and use the buttons for everything else.
I’m more talking about peeking itself doesn’t let you see everything. As in, everything is frozen in place while peeking, so if I’m checking enemy HP, it usually blocked by whatever card is selected, and you can’t back out of the selection you’re peeking through, so you’re stuck. That is just a problem with the game itself though, not the controller support.
But selecting a card should be visually more obvious, at least for non attack cards. I can’t count how many times I’ve selected a card intending to consider my move but accidentally playing it because I didn’t see it was already selected quickly enough. Now that’s maybe my fault for going too fast sometimes, but a better visual indicator would be nice.
Also, defaulting the enemy selection to the one I targeted last instead of the one closest to the left would also be super helpful.
I only play on the deck now since I found out about the recent Intel microcode issue the hard way, and I can’t afford to replace the 2nd and 3rd most expensive parts of a computer. Fixed disability income means I won’t get that done until I get my next job.
Not sure why you specified “previous” phone. I don’t tend to carry that around at all. The battery lasts a few hours if the screen stays off, said screen is cracked and it runs nothing “fine”. Everything haha and glitches around. It remains useful as a cat TV mainly.
Assuming that’s some kinda typo, the current one runs it much better, but getting the correct card when my hand is full is very unreliable, and the UI is cramped to hell since it is a smaller screen but can’t be scaled down as much due to readability. It does come in handy when the deck is at home though.
I’ve specified that because I’ve mainly played it on a 2013 Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (yes, wit a stylus), a FullHD beast that Steam Deck can’t even dream of matching even a decade later.

Ohhhh… yeah, fair enough.
I’ve faced both of these, specially the playing cards by accident bit.

Slay the spire works fine on your previous phone. You know, that 3x lighter machine with 2x the Pixel count you already carry everywhere anyway.
