Hi guys!

Following our last major update which introduced full gamepad support (check here for details), we're now super excited to announce that Of Blades & Tails has officially gained a VERIFIED Steam Deck compatibility rating!

This means that Of Blades & Tails makes full use of Steam Deck's capabilities and is fully playable on the handheld hardware without any fuss.

To celebrate this event, Of Blades & Tails is now on sale with a week-long -35% discount!


In order to achieve full compatibility, a bunch of changes have been made:

• Modified the game so that gamepad controls work nicely with the Deck's default controller layout
  
• Showing Steam Deck's controller icons in button hints/prompts
  
• Vastly improved text legibility by increasing font sizes in places where they were too small on the handheld screen
  
• Optimizing visuals & rendering so that the game has flawless performance on the Deck
  
• Make use of on-screen keyboard in places where we let players enter/modify texts
  

One thing that you might find missing on the Deck is that we had to disable the use of the game's pixel font, as it really didn't look great after bumping up the text size and we wanted to keep a uniform user interface across the board.

We hope you'll enjoy discovering (or rediscovering) Reik's fantastic adventures on your Steam Deck!


In other news: we'll be adding French language support very soon!
The translation is almost finished.

Hey everyone!

We're happy to let you know that one of the most requested features - FULL GAMEPAD SUPPORT - is now available in Of Blades & Tails!

Over the past few months we have put a lot of effort into making Of Blades & Tails controller friendly and improving Steam Deck compatibility!

We gathered a lot of feedback from players. Everything that you shared with us, we took to our hearts and we're very excited to finally bring the news to you!
We genuinely hope that you like what we achieved.

Most of the aspects of the gamepad support were covered before in our beta preview post (read here).


Additionally, we took some time to work on some bug fixes and other improvements which include:

• New options in settings to automatically switch between directional mode and cursor mode (helpful between fights).
  
• Gamepad icons next to gamepad prompts (previously was text only).
  
• Updated translations to support new features (including gamepad prompts).
  
• Increased label size that indicates number of items in item stack.
  
• Second tutorial variant for gamepad.
  
• Fixed long lasting issue causing random crashes when switching between scenes.
  
• Virtual keyboard support.
  

With this we're hoping to get the Steam Deck verified badge very soon!
