It’s nearly the holidays, which means some of you might be looking for something to play on your Steam Deck while you’re away visiting family. The choice just got a little harder: beautiful early access tactics gameSongs Of Conquestand clever fantasy citybuilderAgainst The Stormare both now Steam Deck verified.
That’s what changed for both these games via recent updates.
Songs Of Conquest has been revised via recent updates to support gamepads, so you can navigate its menus with the Steam Deck’s default controls or with an Xbox controller. There’s also now a new large font UI option for use with the small Steam Deck screen, and they’ve optimised the game across all platforms so it runs better, including a battery-saving system just for the Deck, asthe Verified announcement explains.
Against The Storm’sannouncementlikewise mentions support for gamepad input, increased font size, and revised UI elements to support 16:10 screens. Unlike Songs Of Conquest, however, Storm’s developers note that it has a “rudimentary version of basic controller functionality (for Steam Deck only)” and so playing on gamepad isn’t perfect.
