Hi guys!
Following our last major update which introduced full gamepad support (check here for details), we're now super excited to announce that Of Blades & Tails has officially gained a VERIFIED Steam Deck compatibility rating!
This means that Of Blades & Tails makes full use of Steam Deck's capabilities and is fully playable on the handheld hardware without any fuss.
To celebrate this event, Of Blades & Tails is now on sale with a week-long -35% discount!
In order to achieve full compatibility, a bunch of changes have been made:
- Modified the game so that gamepad controls work nicely with the Deck's default controller layout
- Showing Steam Deck's controller icons in button hints/prompts
- Vastly improved text legibility by increasing font sizes in places where they were too small on the handheld screen
- Optimizing visuals & rendering so that the game has flawless performance on the Deck
- Make use of on-screen keyboard in places where we let players enter/modify texts
One thing that you might find missing on the Deck is that we had to disable the use of the game's pixel font, as it really didn't look great after bumping up the text size and we wanted to keep a uniform user interface across the board.
We hope you'll enjoy discovering (or rediscovering) Reik's fantastic adventures on your Steam Deck!
In other news: we'll be adding French language support very soon!
The translation is almost finished.
