Hey folks, here's the state of steam deck performance 2 weeks out from launch.
Performance
In my own testing the game runs on steam deck between 40-50fps during most gameplay. If you're looking for the most consistent experience I'd recommend locking the game at 40fps. As you might expect with a roguelike it does dip a little as your run continues but it mostly stays above 40fps.
Recommended Settings
Framerate Cap: 40fps
Vsync: On
Effect Quality: Low or Medium
Shadow Quality: Low or Medium
Text Scale: 1.2-1.5
Of course I'm always keeping an eye out for more opportunities to optimize the game so if things reach a point where I'd recommend other settings I will update this!
I hope you'll enjoy the game on deck, I love gaming on the go so it has been a priority for me to make the game feel good there.
