For those that for whatever reason love the world of Shadowrun and never picked up the PC games, currently a huge discount as part of the Steam summer sale.
Anyone here have experience with these on Steam Deck?
Looks like it says compatible but small text always worries me since I’m old and my eyes are shit.
Is it Dead Rising Xbox bad or just a little inconvenient?
100% natively compiled binaries for Linux since forever. Should be exactly 0 issues on a Steam Deck. I don’t own one, but according to the protondb page, seems like my suspicions are correct.
EDIT: Oh. Looks like the native version has some audio issues with the deck, and people are recommending using it with Proton instead.
Thank you for doing the leg work for me kind stranger! Excited to revisit these on Deck.
Barbarian said it well, I played 2 of the games on Linux and even though they did technically work they weren’t that smooth of an experience, I’d recommend starting the proton version!
I played through the second one, Dragonfall, on the Deck and quite enjoyed it. It’s a mouse driven game and I found using the right stick to move the cursor easier than the trackpad. It helps that it’s turn based so there’s no need for precision.
How did you find reading the text? My spouse has a Steamdeck, and we both have the Shadowrun trilogy, but we played them on linux laptops so much bigger screens. Love those games. Really hope Harebrained schemes take their learning from Battletech and give us as much more graphically updated Shadowrun game in the not too distant future. (ie Close up/more visually interesting camera angles when making moves, taking shots, casting spells etc in combat), rather than just being locked in isometric view all the time…)
I didn’t find it too bad but it is small so I can see it being more challenging for people with below a erage vision (which will be me in a few years here).
I use reading glasses, but can still manage small text so long as I’m wearing them. I don’t actually have a steamdeck of my own yet, although my spouse has one.
