How does this run on Steam Deck?
I've already bought it, mostly just wondering if it's worth trying to put on my Steam Deck, and if it's not working, if there are any plans for it to be supported.

Store says Valve hasn't reviewed it yet.

Yes it works. I recommend turning on the CRT (Dispaly) mode in the games options - this will strech the picture even it distorts it.

However, there are two issues with the game right now:

1.) The Controls are split between keyboard and mouse, there is no true gampad mode yet. The default profile will suffice, it's just a bit annyoing to have to use the mouse on ocasion -> trade etc. You can change the profile to include the buttons 1-6 instead of other stuff - this might speed up things since almost all actions are bound to these...

2.) Despite the games looks, you will encounter the occasional slow down, this shouldn't be a problem in a turned based game - it's just not nice when you move around quickly.

Aside from that the Dev wrote he was planning to support the Deck -> keep in mind it's a single due who just release his game -> he will have other things to do right now, like bugfixing and hopefully some celebrations, too.

It's not like it's a major install to try on your Steam Deck - it does work, but it helps if you have a keyboard. tbh the interface is pretty annoying even on a PC.

Thanks for the responses, I know it's not a major install, I just admit I wasn't in the mood to experiment with it at the moment. Sounds like it's playable but might be wise to wait before I try and use it as a "go to" on my portable.

I'm a big fan of games like Ultima and Deathlord, so am pretty happy this was made.
