Hey everyone!
So I recently bought the Steam deck, and love every second of it. It allows me to play games that I normally never play on PC. Like some indies.
But I have a question. I want a game where I can just braindead level. Bit like Runescape back in the day. Is there some game like that for the Deck?

Loop Hero
Hades
Persona 4 or 5
You absolutely can’t play Hades at a braindead level
You’ll get there honestly. It took me around 16-20 tries to get my first clear but now I cant even imagine not clearing a no heat run.
64 heat though…
Warframe is pretty grindy and is free to play.
Second this, though it can be a bit rough for new players to get the hang of all the many systems they use. Once you figure out how to build around specific frames though, it’s totally brain dead slaughterfest for the most part
Total braindead slaughter, until you start New War. Then it’s souls-like gameplay that you can’t back out of. The only way I can play again is if I get someone to play on my account and beat those bosses for me.
It’s souls lite for like 30min. I wish I could go redo just the teshin mission. But honestly it’s 1 not that hard 2 not that long.
“Not that hard” if you are at all good at souls-likes. I am not, so it’s impossible.
I’ve played the first 5min of DS3 and couldn’t stand the camera. No other souls games to my name. It’s far more of a beatemup action brawler from say early oughts than souls. You don’t really need to dodge. Just spam attacks.
The kahl missions were kinda weird bc you could be doing great and then out of nowhere take a ton of damage. Or the stealth missions where the view cones were funky.
…now I don’t want to get back to Warframe.
Why does everything have to be souls-like these days?
It’s only souls-like for the duration of the quest - but you’re locked into the quest and have to complete it before you can use your frames again.
Ah I see. I think I can live with that.
Grim dawn
Serious question: I have hundreds of hours in GD, but never installed it on my deck because I never imagined playing it with a controller. Does it work well?
It works surprisingly well! I beat the game with my second character on the Deck exclusively.
It works great, but needs a bit of tweaking. Targeting distant foes and picking up specific loot from a pile of items can be tricky sometimes, but nothing remotely game breaking.
I personally changed the touch pad tu function as a mouse for inventory management.
For comparison, I have a few hundred hours in Diablo 3 (PS4 version) which have a great controller scheme and for me it’s the best controller experience of an arpg on the market so far. GD its not far behind, but you might need to personalize it.
Thanks for mentioning Grim Dawn. Now I have the mightiest urge to play that again :T
Or Path Of Exile. Virtually interchangable.
Dorfromantik
Halls of Torment. Cookie Clicker. Vampire Survivors.
The Disgaea games are a great grind, tons of Post Story content to delve into and days of pure grinding.
Tactical RPG is the genre, fyi.
Came here to ask if Disgaea was compatible and recommend it if it was.
Siralim Ultimate maybe? The Steam description: “Siralim Ultimate is a monster catching, dungeon crawling RPG with a ridiculous amount of depth. Summon over 1200 different creatures and travel through randomly generated dungeons to acquire resources, new creatures, and loot.”
At some points, you need to rethink your setup and incorporate the new stuff you’ve found along the way to be able to mindlessly grind on but I’ve played for 160 hours so far and having a blast trying different strategies. Evoker is my favorite class so far - casting so many spells before the battle even begins that the enemy never gets their turn.
I played Siralim Ultimate on my deck while my newborn was sleeping on my lap pillow. It is absolutely great for just mindless numbers go up gameplay. It’s also fantastic if you want to spend hours theorycrafting and tinkering to get the perfect team for you.
Animator for lyfe. My Animatus goes first, punches one thing, and corpse explosions start rolling.
Path of exile new league (season) drops in 9 days, perfect time to familiarise yourself with basics and hit the grind, and oh boy is there grind to be had.
Why not Runescape/Old School Runescape? I dont have a Deck but I know a bunch of people who play OSRS on one
Its more like, I have played OSRS for soooo long now. Really want to try something new.
Ah ok, when you said “back in the day” it made me think that youd taken one of those “prolonged breaks”
Melvor Idle is an idle game inspired by OSRS (Now published by Jagex) if you’re looking for something directly inspired by RuneScape.
If you like RuneScape from back in the day we have OldSchool RuneScape based on the game from 2007 and still being updated weekly. Polls control most updates so players get to choose and have feedback with the development of the game. 2 weeks ago they just released Desert Treasure 2, one of the biggest quest updates ever.
Forager is a prettty good small indie not quite idle zelda-like, where you gather resources and craft to progress along a whole tech tree. It’s pretty fun and chill to play without too much focus.
I read the title wrong, and now I’m picturing an angle grinder simulator that uses the motion controls on the deck.
Try Dinkum, it’s like a mixture between Animal’s crossing and Srardew Valley and a very chill and relaxed game. There are a bunch of levels for pretty much every one of your skills and it takes a while to progress into the game.
