The Necromancer's Tale is Steam Deck Verified!

[p]We're delighted to announce that Valve has now certified The Necromancer's Tale as "verified" on the Steam Deck! As big fans of the Steam Deck, we put a lot of work into this so it's great to get through this rigorous review process.[/p][p][/p][p]Controls[/p][p]The schematic below shows the game controls for the Steam Deck. You can play the game entirely using the two joysticks and buttons.[/p][p][/p][p]The joysticks move your character and virtual mouse pointer. During normal play the D-Pad is used for cycling through nearby hotspots (and you can use A to interact with one and automatically walk up to it). The D-Pad cycles through your chat choices during conversation, and through menu buttons etc. The triggers and bumpers do a variety of camera controls and other in-game things that you would normally do with the mouse buttons/wheel. [/p][p][/p][p]Virtual Mouse[/p][p]The right stick controls the mouse pointer. We have found this to be a very good replacement for mouse/touchscreen, and it's generally only needed during combat, inventory management, and on the settings window (when the D-Pad is a bit too limiting). In general, ‘A’ is equivalent to clicking the left mouse button, and ‘B’ is equivalent to pressing Escape. [/p][p][/p][p]Keyboard [/p][p]An onscreen keyboard appears when you need to enter text (which is rare- it’s generally just at the start when naming your character, when renaming a save file, or when making entries in your journal). You can use the virtual mouse (or of course the touchscreen) to type. [/p][p][/p][p]Steam Cloud [/p][p]The game saves to Steam Cloud so you can move seamlessly between Deck and PC play. [/p][p][/p][p]Touchscreen [/p][p]The Deck's touchscreen works just fine, of course, if you wish to use it, but the game plays perfectly without it.[/p][p][/p][p]X Box Controller[/p][p]If you're playing on PC, all of the above should work on your X Box controller too.[/p][p][/p][p][/p]
