Steam Deck7 Reports
Runs just fine in Linux. The Steam Deck hardware does struggle a little and you need to set the game graphic settings low.
Text a little small, but still readable.
Some stutters, especially once reaching the factory.
If vaync was enabled, the game would lock up. Disabling vsync in the game settings resolved this.
Low settings, 80% scaling with FSR, 60 Hz in game settings and disable Vsync in SD overlay. The game runs at 60fps most of the time
The game itself is a good Souls like. But the handheld experience is horrible. Best to play it on a desktop instead.
Low on all graphics settings. 40Hz cap on display refresh rate. Nets me 2 to 2.5 hours of game time.
All text in game is small: stats, item descriptions, menu, etc. Good thing subtitles can be enlarged.
This game is basically unplayable for me. The Steam Deck can technically reach 40FPS or even 60. But frametimes are abismal. This game is a stuttery mess.
Launch version of the game has bugs with regards to progressing quests and achievements. Still waiting on any patch as of the posting of this review.
The unstable frametime is also present in desktop. But at least we can throw as much compute power and an adaptive sync display to overcome it. Too bad. This game seems perfect for a handheld.
The game runs at 30 fps most of the time. I only encountered one area where fps were a bit lower (25 fps). Graphics look nice on steam deck, plays very good 😀
Also tried on my linux desktop, but the game seems to refuse to run on Linux when you have a Nvidia GPU
Steel rising works on steam deck with no customization. It runs ok initiall but turn on fsr performance in the advanced graphics options.
The game sets itself up at low settings but is a battery eater anyway - turn on FSR and performance mode in the game settings and limit to 45fps seems to cut power use a little.
Text is small in some windows, not unreadable, but uncomfortably small.
Reports of black screens are for NVidia GPUs - this game does NOT work on my gaming laptop with an NVidia, but runs nicely on the Deck's AMD.
