Quoting: AnzaVictor Vran is great. Story and setting are above most ARPG:s as setting is not the most generic fantasy one. Also dialogue is witty enough to keep things entertaining.

If you're still hungry for more after it, there's Torchlight II. It should be playable on Steam Deck and there's no complaints about gamepad as such. Complaints were about manually having to bring up on screen keyboard and not having Steam Deck specific button hints.

It might feel bit generic after Victor Vran, but should still be fine specimen of the ARPG genre. There's also Torchlight III, but based on the reviews it's just Torchlight lite.

Thanks, really enjoying it and yes the dialogue is very entertaining. Have to admit hearing Doug Cockle do the voice acting takes a bit of getting used to - I still think of him as Geralt from The Witcher :grin:

Torchlight II looks cool too so will add it to my list, thanks. Think I might actually already own that too (but never played it) - vague recollection of it being an Epic freebie at some point in the past... :smile:

Are there any other games out there that play like Diablo 3, work on the deck and support gamepad controls? I got D3 working and it looks great but I hate playing it with the trackpad. :unsure:

Since the update my fan has become significantly quieter... in fact it doesn't seem to come on at all when playing a lot of indie games now. Beforehand it would be blasting away even when I was simply messing around in desktop mode!

Thanks guys, I need to go do some research (best version of Linux to go for and all that kind of thing).

Quoting: 14You could solve that problem by adding another drive and dual booting. :grin:

I might just give that a try... can you recommend a good guide to doing that with Win 11?

I have to say I love all the little indie games that this site keeps brining to my attention. Most of them would have passed me by otherwise which would have been a real shame. This one in particular takes me right back to my childhood when I spent many, many hours playing Thrust on my C64. I do still play it from time to time too but this puts a modern glitzy sheen on everything and I love it. Too bad they're not selling it for £1.99 for extra authenticity! :tongue:

By the way Thrust had a story too! Sure, it wasn't displayed on the screen before the game started but that's because it was a physical release (remember those?) and it was written inside the cassette inlay card.

Had this on my wishlist for ages now so I'll deffo be getting this. Assuming of course that 'supplies' haven't run out and they fix the glitch that's preventing me claiming it! :neutral:
