My only complaint so far is that meta progression seems to require large amounts of play time.

[–] instamat 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

One. Hunnerd. Per. Cent. Luckily I have no life and a steamdeck so this wasn’t an issue for me.

How well does it run in the Deck?

[–] grayhaze 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Most games built using the Godot engine run flawlessly on the Steam Deck. It's much lighter in resource requirements than the likes of Unity or Unreal.

So far been running at a solid 720p60 even capped at 6 watts. No bugs that I've noticed.

How worth it is the steam deck at the current price point? Thinking of buying one.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I love mine. Just depends on what you want. It's an emulation powerhouse. It's going to struggle with AAA games. Lower graphics and older games will work great, for the most part.

[–] 9point6 3 points 1 year ago

I've had one for a little under a year and I pretty much use it most days. Typically I'm playing more indie titles, but it'll play most games at a playable frame rate with a bit of settings tweaking

I've had one since a few months after release. For the most part it has been a brotatodeck. Play at least one game most days. I put a fair number of hours of HOT into it last week. I have a few most hardest level brotato characters to finish. Then I'll focus on HOT. It has totally been worth the money for me. I was playing the led switch and basically quit when I got the deck. There is still a lot of battlebit being played on my PC, but if I'm going anywhere the deck comes.

I can’t recommend it enough. The compatibility rating on the steam game pages is pretty conservative but that’s a good indication on what you can expect to play. I installed emudeck recently so that opens up a lot of possibilities.

Best value per buck you can get in gaming IMO. It's super versatile, just works and all around brilliant machine. I use it as home desktop as well.

[–] Weylandyuta 2 points 1 year ago

Very well, in both game mode and if you plug into a 1080p monitor at a desk.

[–] instamat 1 points 1 year ago

Very well. I’ve had a few random crashes but performance wise no complaints.

That is where you just use Cheat Engine to hack in gold for yourself. Why go through the treadmill to unlock items from the well when you can just give it to yourself?

[–] EthicalDogMeat 2 points 1 year ago

Cheat engine is one of the best things for modern gaming. I love many roguelites but when it gets too slow to progress, I'm using chest engine to make things more fun.

[–] ABCDE 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And there are only three halls. Feel like I've done everything now so haven't picked it up in a bit.

[–] Noxvento 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I bet more is coming fast. They made a lot of money.

[–] ABCDE 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Hopefully! I need a reason to pick it up again, high scores or other progress indicators. Oh, while we're talking, can the walls of soldiers on the bridge/aqueduct/viaduct be killed?

[–] Noxvento 1 points 1 year ago

I don't know. Just started 3 days ago. ;-)

[–] instamat 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The green ghost guys? You can push them back to make a hole in the line but I haven’t killed any yet.

[–] ABCDE 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah I've done that with the fire blast perk, just wanted to know if it was possible!
