Welcome to this week’s version of the Steam Deck Weekly and the ultimate one for the month. Forward of the various gaming occasions and showcases in June, Might isn’t displaying any indicators of slowing down with recreation releases. I’ve been slowly nonetheless catching as much as older video games on Steam Deck and the various new releases. This week’s article has many critiques and Steam Deck impressions. Along with the video games I’ve reviewed, there are recreation updates, trailers, information, and extra as normal. Let’s get into the critiques and impressions first.
Steam Deck Recreation Evaluations & Impressions
This week’s version has many critiques and Steam Deck impressions masking new and previous video games. There are a couple of I’ve been taking part in for over a month now, that received main patches particularly for Steam Deck as properly.
MEGATON MUSASHI W: WIRED Steam Deck Evaluate
Degree-5’s first main launch within the West after Yo-Kai Watch 3 is right here a few years later, and it’s equal elements spectacular and stunning. I’m engaged on a full evaluation for MEGATON MUSASHI W: WIRED on Swap, however I’ve additionally been taking part in it on Steam Deck. Forward of my evaluation of the console model, I needed to cowl the way it feels on Steam Deck, and why I’m very impressed with Degree-5’s latest launch.
My early ideas on the sport itself are very optimistic throughout its story, music, and gameplay. MEGATON MUSASHI W: WIRED looks like a mix of what I really like from Degree-5’s video games with its allure and aesthetic accompanied by the bits I really like from the Gundam Breaker sequence. I’ve been very impressed with simply how a lot voice appearing the story has, and the way a lot enjoyable the sport is even in the principle story. I’m practically finished with the story, however even when there was nothing past the story, I’d be happy with this. There may be much more although fortunately.
Once you first launch MEGATON MUSASHI W: WIRED on Steam Deck, it installs Epic On-line Providers for cross platform on-line. What I didn’t know till just lately is that MEGATON MUSASHI W: WIRED additionally helps full cross development. I received my Nintendo Swap save to Steam Deck after linking my accounts and synced again with out points. I can’t wait to additionally do that for the PS5 model once I get it there.
MEGATON MUSASHI W: WIRED on Steam Deck has no points proper now. I performed on my LCD and OLED fashions on-line and offline. All the pieces works positive together with video playback in cut-scenes and it controls like a dream. The sport has Steam Cloud assist however doesn’t assist the 16:10 show. It’s 16:9. You may play at properly above 60fps on the OLED Steam Deck as properly.
On Steam Deck and within the PC port, MEGATON MUSASHI W: WIRED allows you to alter decision, toggle v-sync, toggle HDR (that is at the moment damaged on Steam Deck), change graphics presets, add a body fee restrict (limitless assist), shadow high quality, toggle visible depth, toggle bloom, use anti-aliasing, and alter texture high quality. I solely adjusted the shadow high quality and left all the things on default to play on Steam Deck in handheld mode. It performs quite a bit higher than the Swap model, however the latter is sort of spectacular given the visuals.
I’d suggest locking to 60fps for probably the most secure expertise as 90fps isn’t possible until you’re pleased with some drops to the excessive 70s. Exterior that, you possibly can safely get the sport on Steam Deck. I’m shocked it isn’t Steam Deck Verified already. I’m additionally glad I made a decision to play the sport on Steam Deck when a pal of mine and website reader informed me about it operating properly.
As of now, MEGATON MUSASHI W: WIRED has been one of many largest surprises of 2024 alongside Granblue Fantasy: Relink. I can’t wait to complete it for my Swap evaluation and likewise begin taking part in it on-line with pals on PS5 by cross save and cross play. Hopefully Degree-5’s subsequent releases are this good after they launch within the close to future.
The Rogue Prince of Persia Steam Deck Evaluate
The Rogue Prince of Persia was positively one of many largest shock bulletins of 2024. Evil Empire, most identified for its work on Useless Cells content material, has developed an motion roguelite within the beloved Prince of Persia sequence revealed by Ubisoft, and it’s at the moment accessible in early entry on Steam. I’ve been taking part in The Rogue Prince of Persia for a few week now on Steam Deck, and it’s already an excellent stable base for the longer term.
Given Evil Empire dealt with a number of put up launch and content material for Useless Cells, I assumed The Rogue Prince of Persia would possibly play prefer it, but it surely has sufficient occurring to really feel like its personal factor. I really like the aesthetic and animations, however the actual star is the gameplay and selection throughout the board. Even in its present state, The Rogue Prince of Persia feels quite a bit higher than most early entry video games, however it’s held again by some technical points. Be aware that I’ve solely performed The Rogue Prince of Persia on Steam Deck LCD and OLED, so I can’t verify if any of the problems additionally apply to the sport on Home windows.
For the reason that early entry roadmap mentions quite a bit coming, I’m not going to do a full scored evaluation for The Rogue Prince of Persia. I will probably be masking what is on the market proper now, together with the slick gameplay and stylish music. After a short tutorial explaining the fundamentals of fight and motion, you get to play the actual recreation. Ubisoft and Evil Empire have shipped fairly a bit right here with bosses, biomes, weapons, modifiers, and extra, however don’t come into this anticipating it to offer you as a lot freedom as Useless Cells.
Since launch a couple of days in the past, the builders have commented on optimization for Steam Deck, and likewise talked about that they’re ready on Steam Deck Verification proper now. The massive situation proper now on Steam Deck is micro stuttering that occurs even when taking part in at 30fps. I mitigated this considerably by taking part in at 45hz or 50hz on my Steam Deck OLED, but it surely isn’t excellent. The sport is 16:9 and never 16:10, but it surely does assist Steam Cloud and fortunately doesn’t have its personal recreation launcher to fret about.
Whereas this 12 months’s prior Prince of Persia launch was launched on principally all the things however Steam, The Rogue Prince of Persia is barely on Steam for now. Given the early entry launch, that is sensible, however it’s nonetheless fairly humorous.
I’ll be trying out all the main updates The Rogue Prince of Persia will get, however I’ve only a few complaints with the sport proper now. Exterior some efficiency points, it performs nice on Steam Deck, and I can’t wait to see the way it evolves over time. For those who get pleasure from roguelites and like platforming, The Rogue Prince of Persia is price your time proper now. Hopefully the few points will be ironed out quickly so the builders can deal with bringing in additional content material to the discharge.
The Rogue Prince of Persia Steam Deck Evaluate Rating: Early Entry/TBA
Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord 1.0 Steam Deck (and Swap) Impressions
Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord lastly hit 1.0 final week following its early entry launch earlier than on Steam. With its 1.0 launch, Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord is now accessible on PC, PS5, Xbox, PS4, and Nintendo Swap. I had already performed the early entry launch, however I’ve been taking part in the 1.0 model on each Steam Deck and Swap because of early codes from Digital Eclipse. Shaun will probably be doing a full evaluation of the remake on Swap subsequent week, however I needed to cowl the way it feels on each Steam Deck and Swap proper now.
For those who’ve not stored up with Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord, it’s a full 3D remake constructed upon the unique recreation, which is likely one of the most vital video games in RPG historical past. Whereas not a Gold Grasp sequence launch from Digital Eclipse, Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord does quite a bit to make the unique recreation expertise not solely accessible on trendy techniques with its old style choices, but additionally present some accessibility or high quality of life options for newcomers.
Once you begin the sport, you possibly can both use preset old style choices for contemporary, unique, console, or customized builds. It defaults to trendy, however you possibly can tweak issues manually and individually right here. Apart from that, I nonetheless love how the unique recreation is offered on the underside proper of the display screen when you’re taking part in with 3D visuals. I didn’t play a lot of the current updates, however Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord 1.0 feels fairly a bit extra polished and secure than the early entry construct I performed.
On Steam Deck, Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord runs with out points out of the field, however I like to recommend manually setting it to 800p. It’s capped at 60fps so far as I can inform on Steam Deck no matter your show refresh fee. It has no bother operating at 60fps, however you possibly can play it at 30fps should you’d like to avoid wasting battery. I caught to 60fps on Steam Deck. The Swap model additionally appears good, but it surely has extra enter lag and is capped at 30fps. It isn’t a foul expertise, and I’ll be getting the Japanese bodily launch when it goes up for pre-order for certain.
Forward of Shaun’s full evaluation, I like to recommend studying his prolonged interview about Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord with Robert Woodhead and Digital Eclipse right here.
Ouros Steam Deck Evaluate
On this busy month of large RPGs or tons of high quality indie releases, it’s all the time good to seek out one thing to play as a option to chill out. Ouros from developer Michael Kamm has been that recreation for me over the previous few days. It’s a spline-based puzzle recreation transport with over 120 puzzles, elegant visuals, and enjoyable music.
The early puzzles introduce you to the essential mechanics of pulling orbs aside to kind curves. Your goal is to kind a curve for a shifting orb to glide on a particular path. With every new stage or space, extra modifiers are added requiring completely different approaches to what appears easy. For those who aren’t a fan of puzzle video games like this, Ouros received’t change your thoughts, however I can’t think about it received’t be definitely worth the low asking worth for the few hours you get out of it.
On Steam Deck, Ouros boots up at 16:9, but it surely really has full 16:10 800p assist. It runs completely in handheld mode at 90fps and performs totally with contact or digital mouse controls. I don’t suggest utilizing a controller for this, and it feels suited to handheld play with contact assist. I hope it does get a cell port as a result of I desire taking part in video games like this on my iPad. Till then, it’s nice on Steam Deck in handheld mode.
Ouros is a calming and nice puzzle recreation that looks like one thing we’d see hit iPad a decade in the past in a great way. It performs completely on Steam Deck with full touchscreen assist, and has sufficient accessibility in its development and trace system to be an incredible introduction to puzzle video games as properly.
Ouros Steam Deck Evaluate Rating: 4.5/5
Witch and Lilies Steam Deck Evaluate
Witch and Lilies is a recreation I first discovered about when my pal wrote about it. I am keen on the Etrian Odyssey sequence, and Witch and Lilies felt like a very good mix of relationship constructing with a dungeon RPG. It lastly launched on Steam Early Entry final week, and I’ve been taking part in it on Steam Deck to see the way it performs and feels in its present state.
Witch and Lilies is clearly Etrian Odyssey impressed. Actually, it looks like a extra accessible and relationship-focused tackle the Etrian Odyssey sequence. The mapping is computerized right here with no handbook mapping possibility that I see. The early entry model ships with the principle story full, but it surely has a number of deliberate updates to deal with recreation stability (this wants addressing quickly), and the updates which were launched since launch have already addressed two of my largest points. The primary was textual content velocity and skipping, and the second was the body limiter.
The category selection, fight, and exploration are excellent proper now, however that is very a lot an early entry launch. For those who’re pleased with shopping for it figuring out this, you’ll have a enjoyable time should you like DRPGs and yuri relationships. I’ve already gifted it to a pal after getting evaluation code to assist this launch, but it surely very a lot looks like a recreation that will be quite a bit higher should you play it in a couple of months.
On Steam Deck, Witch and Lilies defaults to 1080p. It’s really capped at 1080p proper now as properly. I set it to 720p and it performed principally at 90fps as of in the present day’s replace. The sport zooms into the 16:9 gameplay as an alternative of providing black bars so maintain that in thoughts. Apart from that and the textual content enter requiring manually invoking the keyboard, I’ve no complaints with how Witch and Lilies performs on Steam Deck. The beautiful colourful aesthetic shines on the Steam Deck OLED as properly.
Witch and Lilies is fairly wonderful proper now, but it surely appears like it is going to be price shopping for in a few month or two based mostly on its roadmap as soon as extra fixes and enhancements arrive. It performs properly on Steam Deck already except for some minor points, and is shaping as much as be a stable launch for followers of yuri and dungeon RPGs. I can’t wait to see the way it feels in a couple of months once I revisit it.
Witch and Lilies Steam Deck Evaluate Rating: Early Entry/TBA
Little Kitty, Massive Metropolis Steam Deck Evaluate
Similar to Ouros, Little Kitty, Massive Metropolis has been an incredible recreation to play in breaks between different longer releases. Little Kitty, Massive Metropolis has you exploring town in an open world whimsical journey the place each nook has one thing hilarious ready for you thru NPCs, quests, and even mild puzzles. It’s the first recreation to fill in the identical area of interest as Untitled Goose Recreation, and a rattling positive expertise after some fixes.
As a brief journey that you’ll probably see during in below 5 hours, Little Kitty, Massive Metropolis will get quite a bit proper with its characters, collectibles, puzzles, and soundtrack. Video games like this often dwell and die by their exploration or puzzles, however the actual stars of this present are the forged interactions and the music. In a number of methods, I ended up liking this greater than Stray which is an excellent recreation.
Little Kitty, Massive Metropolis debuted on PC, Swap, and Xbox platforms, and I’ve performed it solely on my Steam Deck. It ships Steam Deck Verified, and is principally with none main situation on the system proper now. I like to recommend turning it to medium settings if you wish to play at 60fps or above constantly although. Even setting it to the low preset leads to dips to the 70s typically.
Apart from some bugs that I’ve not run into since launch, Little Kitty, Massive Metropolis is a simple advice. Simply remember that it’s a brief recreation so that you would possibly need to wait on a sale if the asking worth is an excessive amount of proper now.
Little Kitty, Massive Metropolis is a recreation I didn’t suppose I’d get pleasure from a lot after a trailer, however I’m glad I received to play it on Steam Deck.

Alone within the Darkish Steam Deck Evaluate
As somebody who by no means performed a lot of the unique, I used to be curious to see how the re-imagining of Alone within the Darkish would really feel for a newcomer. When it was launched, a couple of of my pals stated I’d get pleasure from it. I ended up lastly taking part in it on Steam Deck a couple of weeks in the past, and thought it was an excellent horror recreation, however one with some points on Steam Deck. Quick ahead to this week, a main new replace not solely enhanced the sport usually, but additionally made it quite a bit nicer on Steam Deck.
Apart from Alone within the Darkish being a horror recreation, I didn’t know what to anticipate once I first performed it. I used to be shocked at the way it felt like a contemporary survival horror recreation in elements, however nonetheless had a number of puzzles and an incredible ambiance. Alone within the Darkish is a 3rd individual recreation the place you select considered one of two protagonists with various viewpoints. These aren’t utterly completely different playthroughs, however are price doing for the reason that recreation itself isn’t very lengthy. Count on to get 11 or 12 hours out of it. None of it felt like padding although, making this a neater advice.
Alone within the Darkish on Steam Deck has been attention-grabbing. The sport scales down very properly, and you may even get it wanting good on the Deck’s personal display screen whereas aiming for 40hz. Alone within the Darkish is formally marked as Steam Deck Playable, however I really feel prefer it could be up to date to be Verified quickly following this week’s replace. The brand new replace provides a default video possibility for Steam Deck, controller icons, Steam Deck UI assist, and hides the keybinding possibility when performed on Steam Deck. Whereas FSR will help you get to larger body charges, it doesn’t look good in Alone within the Darkish. The HDR possibility at the moment doesn’t work on Steam Deck OLED both.
With regards to the controls, Alone within the Darkish performs properly, however I like to recommend enabling gyro for one of the best expertise on Valve’s handheld in case you are pleased with it. Alone within the Darkish doesn’t have tons of fight, however gyro aiming all the time helps on a handheld. You may additionally use the trackpad for precision aiming should you desire that.
Once I first performed this 12 months’s Alone within the Darkish re-imagining, I assumed it was an excellent however flawed expertise. After this week’s large replace, I’m glad I waited a bit longer to do my evaluation as a result of it’s now in a a lot better state, and is price your time even should you by no means performed the unique. Simply concentrate on the visible cutbacks wanted to get this operating on Steam Deck. I preferred it sufficient to get it on PS5 for a replay.
Alone within the Darkish Steam Deck Evaluate Rating: 3.5/5
SKALD: In opposition to the Black Priory Steam Deck Evaluate
When a pal of mine despatched me a screenshot of SKALD: In opposition to the Black Priory, I knew I needed to play it, however was involved about how it could really feel on Steam Deck. Video games constructed for keyboard and mouse controls can generally have points even with neighborhood layouts on Valve’s handheld, however I used to be hopeful. Uncooked fury and Excessive North Studios’ retro-style party-based RPG appears like a recreation from years in the past resurrected with beautiful and crisp pixel artwork accompanied by trendy visible results. It jogs my memory slightly of how Octopath Traveler dealt with its visuals, however extra according to older PC RPGs.
SKALD: In opposition to the Black Priory being an retro-style recreation additionally has the identical problem, but it surely ships with fairly a couple of customizable problem choices with its presets. With regards to accessibility, it additionally has font and coloration choices to tweak the expertise to your liking. Once I began taking part in SKALD: In opposition to the Black Priory, I anticipated a reliable recreation, however I used to be shocked at how a lot depth it had. This actually looks like a steal at its present asking worth, however I want it had a demo in order that newcomers to the style can pattern the controls.
On Steam Deck, SKALD: In opposition to the Black Priory isn’t excellent out of the field. The sport shows in a small window, isn’t fullscreen, doesn’t management properly. There are a couple of neighborhood layouts which are price attempting, however I settled on SpeeDy_G’s “SKALD Steam Deck Intuitive Controls” neighborhood structure. I used that and the touchscreen for one of the best expertise. You will want to manually convey up the onscreen keyboard for textual content entry although. With regards to the visuals, set the sport to windowed and mode scale to 2 so it runs at fullscreen. I disabled the CRT filter, however you possibly can allow it if you need that.
SKALD: In opposition to the Black Priory is a beautiful shock of an RPG. After a little bit of getting used to it and a few visible tweaks, I loved my time with the sport on Steam Deck utilizing contact controls. For those who’ve needed an old-school RPG expertise that’s constructed for in the present day with out compromising on the imaginative and prescient however one with some accessibility choices, SKALD: In opposition to the Black Priory is for you.

The Quintessential Quintuplets – Reminiscences of a Quintessential Summer time has management points the place even mouse controls don’t work accurately. Utilizing a bluetooth controller can be not dependable in-game. Some menus work, however the precise recreation has points proper now. Apart from controls, the audio works and the sport appears good on Deck.
The Quintessential Quintuplets – 5 Reminiscences Spent With You controls positive and appears nice, however the audio for voices doesn’t work. I examined a number of Proton variations together with two completely different GE Proton variations with no luck.

Hopefully Spike Chunsoft, Mages, or Valve can repair these points within the close to future. Lately, I’ve been attempting to expertise particular anime or manga tales by video games first to see how they really feel for newcomers. I used to be planning on doing the identical with The Quintessential Quintuplets video games from Spike Chunsoft, however I will probably be ready for patches or grabbing them on Swap

The Rogue Prince of Persia Steam Deck Evaluate
The Rogue Prince of Persia was positively one of many largest shock bulletins of 2024. Evil Empire, most identified for its work on Useless Cells content material, has developed an motion roguelite within the beloved Prince of Persia sequence revealed by Ubisoft, and it’s at the moment accessible in early entry on Steam. I’ve been taking part in The Rogue Prince of Persia for a few week now on Steam Deck, and it’s already an excellent stable base for the longer term.
Given Evil Empire dealt with a number of put up launch and content material for Useless Cells, I assumed The Rogue Prince of Persia would possibly play prefer it, but it surely has sufficient occurring to really feel like its personal factor. I really like the aesthetic and animations, however the actual star is the gameplay and selection throughout the board. Even in its present state, The Rogue Prince of Persia feels quite a bit higher than most early entry video games, however it’s held again by some technical points. Be aware that I’ve solely performed The Rogue Prince of Persia on Steam Deck LCD and OLED, so I can’t verify if any of the problems additionally apply to the sport on Home windows.
For the reason that early entry roadmap mentions quite a bit coming, I’m not going to do a full scored evaluation for The Rogue Prince of Persia. I will probably be masking what is on the market proper now, together with the slick gameplay and stylish music. After a short tutorial explaining the fundamentals of fight and motion, you get to play the actual recreation. Ubisoft and Evil Empire have shipped fairly a bit right here with bosses, biomes, weapons, modifiers, and extra, however don’t come into this anticipating it to offer you as a lot freedom as Useless Cells.
Since launch a couple of days in the past, the builders have commented on optimization for Steam Deck, and likewise talked about that they’re ready on Steam Deck Verification proper now. The massive situation proper now on Steam Deck is micro stuttering that occurs even when taking part in at 30fps. I mitigated this considerably by taking part in at 45hz or 50hz on my Steam Deck OLED, but it surely isn’t excellent. The sport is 16:9 and never 16:10, but it surely does assist Steam Cloud and fortunately doesn’t have its personal recreation launcher to fret about.
Whereas this 12 months’s prior Prince of Persia launch was launched on principally all the things however Steam, The Rogue Prince of Persia is barely on Steam for now. Given the early entry launch, that is sensible, however it’s nonetheless fairly humorous.
I’ll be trying out all the main updates The Rogue Prince of Persia will get, however I’ve only a few complaints with the sport proper now. Exterior some efficiency points, it performs nice on Steam Deck, and I can’t wait to see the way it evolves over time. For those who get pleasure from roguelites and like platforming, The Rogue Prince of Persia is price your time proper now. Hopefully the few points will be ironed out quickly so the builders can deal with bringing in additional content material to the discharge.
The Rogue Prince of Persia Steam Deck Evaluate Rating: Early Entry/TBA

With its 1.0 launch, Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord is now accessible on PC, PS5, Xbox, PS4, and Nintendo Swap. I had already performed the early entry launch, however I’ve been taking part in the 1.0 model on each Steam Deck and Swap because of early codes from Digital Eclipse. Shaun will probably be doing a full evaluation of the remake on Swap subsequent week, however I needed to cowl the way it feels on each Steam Deck and Swap proper now.
For those who’ve not stored up with Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord, it’s a full 3D remake constructed upon the unique recreation, which is likely one of the most vital video games in RPG historical past. Whereas not a Gold Grasp sequence launch from Digital Eclipse, Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord does quite a bit to make the unique recreation expertise not solely accessible on trendy techniques with its old style choices, but additionally present some accessibility or high quality of life options for newcomers.
Once you begin the sport, you possibly can both use preset old style choices for contemporary, unique, console, or customized builds. It defaults to trendy, however you possibly can tweak issues manually and individually right here. Apart from that, I nonetheless love how the unique recreation is offered on the underside proper of the display screen when you’re taking part in with 3D visuals. I didn’t play a lot of the current updates, however Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord 1.0 feels fairly a bit extra polished and secure than the early entry construct I performed.
On Steam Deck, Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord runs with out points out of the field, however I like to recommend manually setting it to 800p. It’s capped at 60fps so far as I can inform on Steam Deck no matter your show refresh fee. It has no bother operating at 60fps, however you possibly can play it at 30fps should you’d like to avoid wasting battery. I caught to 60fps on Steam Deck. The Swap model additionally appears good, but it surely has extra enter lag and is capped at 30fps. It isn’t a foul expertise, and I’ll be getting the Japanese bodily launch when it goes up for pre-order for certain.

Ouros Steam Deck Evaluate
On this busy month of large RPGs or tons of high quality indie releases, it’s all the time good to seek out one thing to play as a option to chill out. Ouros from developer Michael Kamm has been that recreation for me over the previous few days. It’s a spline-based puzzle recreation transport with over 120 puzzles, elegant visuals, and enjoyable music.
The early puzzles introduce you to the essential mechanics of pulling orbs aside to kind curves. Your goal is to kind a curve for a shifting orb to glide on a particular path. With every new stage or space, extra modifiers are added requiring completely different approaches to what appears easy. For those who aren’t a fan of puzzle video games like this, Ouros received’t change your thoughts, however I can’t think about it received’t be definitely worth the low asking worth for the few hours you get out of it.
On Steam Deck, Ouros boots up at 16:9, but it surely really has full 16:10 800p assist. It runs completely in handheld mode at 90fps and performs totally with contact or digital mouse controls. I don’t suggest utilizing a controller for this, and it feels suited to handheld play with contact assist. I hope it does get a cell port as a result of I desire taking part in video games like this on my iPad. Till then, it’s nice on Steam Deck in handheld mode.
Ouros is a calming and nice puzzle recreation that looks like one thing we’d see hit iPad a decade in the past in a great way.

Witch and Lilies Steam Deck Evaluate
Witch and Lilies is a recreation I first discovered about when my pal wrote about it. I am keen on the Etrian Odyssey sequence, and Witch and Lilies felt like a very good mix of relationship constructing with a dungeon RPG. It lastly launched on Steam Early Entry final week, and I’ve been taking part in it on Steam Deck to see the way it performs and feels in its present state.
Witch and Lilies is clearly Etrian Odyssey impressed. Actually, it looks like a extra accessible and relationship-focused tackle the Etrian Odyssey sequence. The mapping is computerized right here with no handbook mapping possibility that I see. The early entry model ships with the principle story full, but it surely has a number of deliberate updates to deal with recreation stability (this wants addressing quickly), and the updates which were launched since launch have already addressed two of my largest points. The primary was textual content velocity and skipping, and the second was the body limiter.
The category selection, fight, and exploration are excellent proper now, however that is very a lot an early entry launch. For those who’re pleased with shopping for it figuring out this, you’ll have a enjoyable time should you like DRPGs and yuri relationships. I’ve already gifted it to a pal after getting evaluation code to assist this launch, but it surely very a lot looks like a recreation that will be quite a bit higher should you play it in a couple of months.
On Steam Deck, Witch and Lilies defaults to 1080p. It’s really capped at 1080p proper now as properly. I set it to 720p and it performed principally at 90fps as of in the present day’s replace. The sport zooms into the 16:9 gameplay as an alternative of providing black bars so maintain that in thoughts. Apart from that and the textual content enter requiring manually invoking the keyboard, I’ve no complaints with how Witch and Lilies performs on Steam Deck. The beautiful colourful aesthetic shines on the Steam Deck OLED as properly.
Witch and Lilies is fairly wonderful proper now, but it surely appears like it is going to be price shopping for in a few month or two based mostly on its roadmap as soon as extra fixes and enhancements arrive. It performs properly on Steam Deck already except for some minor points, and is shaping as much as be a stable launch for followers of yuri and dungeon RPGs. I can’t wait to see the way it feels in a couple of months once I revisit it.
Witch and Lilies Steam Deck Evaluate Rating: Early Entry/TBA
Little Kitty, Massive Metropolis Steam Deck Evaluate
Similar to Ouros, Little Kitty, Massive Metropolis has been an incredible recreation to play in breaks between different longer releases. Little Kitty, Massive Metropolis has you exploring town in an open world whimsical journey the place each nook has one thing hilarious ready for you thru NPCs, quests, and even mild puzzles. It’s the first recreation to fill in the identical area of interest as Untitled Goose Recreation, and a rattling positive expertise after some fixes.

Video games like this often dwell and die by their exploration or puzzles, however the actual stars of this present are the forged interactions and the music. In a number of methods, I ended up liking this greater than Stray which is an excellent recreation.
Little Kitty, Massive Metropolis debuted on PC, Swap, and Xbox platforms, and I’ve performed it solely on my Steam Deck. It ships Steam Deck Verified, and is principally with none main situation on the system proper now. I like to recommend turning it to medium settings if you wish to play at 60fps or above constantly although. Even setting it to the low preset leads to dips to the 70s typically.
Apart from some bugs that I’ve not run into since launch, Little Kitty, Massive Metropolis is a simple advice. Simply remember that it’s a brief recreation so that you would possibly need to wait on a sale if the asking worth is an excessive amount of proper now.

Alone within the Darkish Steam Deck Evaluate
As somebody who by no means performed a lot of the unique, I used to be curious to see how the re-imagining of Alone within the Darkish would really feel for a newcomer. When it was launched, a couple of of my pals stated I’d get pleasure from it. I ended up lastly taking part in it on Steam Deck a couple of weeks in the past, and thought it was an excellent horror recreation, however one with some points on Steam Deck. Quick ahead to this week, a main new replace not solely enhanced the sport usually, but additionally made it quite a bit nicer on Steam Deck.
Apart from Alone within the Darkish being a horror recreation, I didn’t know what to anticipate once I first performed it. I used to be shocked at the way it felt like a contemporary survival horror recreation in elements, however nonetheless had a number of puzzles and an incredible ambiance. Alone within the Darkish is a 3rd individual recreation the place you select considered one of two protagonists with various viewpoints. These aren’t utterly completely different playthroughs, however are price doing for the reason that recreation itself isn’t very lengthy. Count on to get 11 or 12 hours out of it. None of it felt like padding although, making this a neater advice.
Alone within the Darkish on Steam Deck has been attention-grabbing. The sport scales down very properly, and you may even get it wanting good on the Deck’s personal display screen whereas aiming for 40hz. Alone within the Darkish is formally marked as Steam Deck Playable, however I really feel prefer it could be up to date to be Verified quickly following this week’s replace. The brand new replace provides a default video possibility for Steam Deck, controller icons, Steam Deck UI assist, and hides the keybinding possibility when performed on Steam Deck. Whereas FSR will help you get to larger body charges, it doesn’t look good in Alone within the Darkish. The HDR possibility at the moment doesn’t work on Steam Deck OLED both.
With regards to the controls, Alone within the Darkish performs properly, however I like to recommend enabling gyro for one of the best expertise on Valve’s handheld in case you are pleased with it. Alone within the Darkish doesn’t have tons of fight, however gyro aiming all the time helps on a handheld. You may additionally use the trackpad for precision aiming should you desire that.
Once I first performed this 12 months’s Alone within the Darkish re-imagining, I assumed it was an excellent however flawed expertise. After this week’s large replace, I’m glad I waited a bit longer to do my evaluation as a result of it’s now in a a lot better state, and is price your time even should you by no means performed the unique. Simply concentrate on the visible cutbacks wanted to get this operating on Steam Deck. I preferred it sufficient to get it on PS5 for a replay.
Alone within the Darkish Steam Deck Evaluate Rating: 3.5/5
SKALD: In opposition to the Black Priory Steam Deck Evaluate
When a pal of mine despatched me a screenshot of SKALD: In opposition to the Black Priory, I knew I needed to play it, however was involved about how it could really feel on Steam Deck. Video games constructed for keyboard and mouse controls can generally have points even with neighborhood layouts on Valve’s handheld, however I used to be hopeful. Uncooked fury and Excessive North Studios’ retro-style party-based RPG appears like a recreation from years in the past resurrected with beautiful and crisp pixel artwork accompanied by trendy visible results. It jogs my memory slightly of how Octopath Traveler dealt with its visuals, however extra according to older PC RPGs.
SKALD: In opposition to the Black Priory being an retro-style recreation additionally has the identical problem, but it surely ships with fairly a couple of customizable problem choices with its presets. With regards to accessibility, it additionally has font and coloration choices to tweak the expertise to your liking. Once I began taking part in SKALD: In opposition to the Black Priory, I anticipated a reliable recreation, however I used to be shocked at how a lot depth it had. This actually looks like a steal at its present asking worth, however I want it had a demo in order that newcomers to the style can pattern the controls.
On Steam Deck, SKALD: In opposition to the Black Priory isn’t excellent out of the field. The sport shows in a small window, isn’t fullscreen, doesn’t management properly. There are a couple of neighborhood layouts which are price attempting, however I settled on SpeeDy_G’s “SKALD Steam Deck Intuitive Controls” neighborhood structure. I used that and the touchscreen for one of the best expertise. You will want to manually convey up the onscreen keyboard for textual content entry although. With regards to the visuals, set the sport to windowed and mode scale to 2 so it runs at fullscreen. I disabled the CRT filter, however you possibly can allow it if you need that.
SKALD: In opposition to the Black Priory is a beautiful shock of an RPG. After a little bit of getting used to it and a few visible tweaks, I loved my time with the sport on Steam Deck utilizing contact controls.

The Quintessential Quintuplets – Reminiscences of a Quintessential Summer time has management points the place even mouse controls don’t work accurately. Utilizing a bluetooth controller can be not dependable in-game. Some menus work, however the precise recreation has points proper now. Apart from controls, the audio works and the sport appears good on Deck.
The Quintessential Quintuplets – 5 Reminiscences Spent With You controls positive and appears nice, however the audio for voices doesn’t work. I examined a number of Proton variations together with two completely different GE Proton variations with no luck.

Hopefully Spike Chunsoft, Mages, or Valve can repair these points within the close to future.

I used to be planning on doing the identical with The Quintessential Quintuplets video games from Spike Chunsoft, however I will probably be ready for patches or grabbing them on Swap
