  Steam deck verified sucks because it tells you if it will run well on the deck, but doesn’t tell you if it’ll play well on the deck. If a game doesn’t have controller support then I’m not interested.

  Oh fuck! I hadn’t heard for DRG:Survivor. I LOVE DRG and now I can’t wait for this game.

  Also steam just started a big sale of these types of games that you should check out if you haven’t already. Shmup Fest.

  Coming from the computer with near 2000 hours of gameplay in Factorio I just couldn’t make the jump to the deck. I miss the precision of a mouse and the keyboard shortcuts (the deck buttons weren’t enough and I didn’t want to memorize a ton of shift/modifier-* type shortcuts)

  If you like HoT some other games to try:

  • Vampire Survivors - I actually like this more that HoT and I played HoT first

  • Brotato - Simpler version of this type of game, fixed map size but fun variant

  • 20 Minutes till Dawn - I just started this (got it in a Steam bundle with Brotato) and it’s ok, I don’t like the aiming very much but it’s a decent game.

  I really wish there was a distinction between “runs well on deck” and “plays well on deck”. I know that you can connect a monitor/mouse/keyboard but I’m mainly looking for games that I can play directly on the deck so mouse-heavy games are a pass for me (occasional mouse or only in certain menus is fine but not in regular gameplay).

  Thankfully protondb is an amazing resource and answers most my questions along with Steam’s “full controller support” badge. I just wish there was a simple badge that covered both. There are some “Great on Deck” games that I strongly disagree with, like Human Resource Machine. It’s a great game, I love it, but great on deck it is not. It runs fine but it needs a mouse, the trackpads are way too finicky and the text too small IMHO.

  I just got my steam deck a month or so ago during the summer sale but I think it’s be an instant upgrade for be.

  I love the thing and anything it improves on I’d want. Even better if they make the upgrade/migration seemless so I can just “clone” my existing deck to the new one.

  I left out an important word “left”, as in I get 25-30min into a run and it crashes. I’ll try performance mode!

  I sent in logs of my crash to the devs back when it happened.

  An actual release and not a shovelware shitty MMO. Look at the release cadence:

  • Arena 1994

  • Daggerfall 1996 (2 years)

  • Morrowind 2002 (6 years)

  • Oblivion 2006 (4 years)

  • Skyrim 2011 (5 years)

  • ??? (12+ years)

  Does anyone else have Halls of Tournament regularly crash on their steam deck normally when they’ve got about five minutes or less in a run? It’s like 30-50% of the time for me.

  I love the game but the crashing (and loss of progress) sucks. I need to pick up Vampire Survivors since I know it’s similar and look fun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - August 2023⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Stardew Valley and Halls of Torment
