Steam Deck Support

Hi Defenders,

Great news! Rogue Kingdoms now fully supports controllers and runs perfectly on Steam Deck.

No complicated setups—just install and play. We genuinely think playing with a gamepad or Steam Deck is the best way to enjoy Rogue Kingdoms.

Here's what's included:

Full Input Compatibility: The Steam Deck’s controls work perfectly right out of the box.
Optimized and Rebindable Controls: Controls feel smooth and responsive. Move the hero with one stick and your skills with the other—or swap them around. Customize controls to your preference!
Docked Mode Ready: Want to play on a bigger screen? Easily connect a Bluetooth controller or keyboard to play docked.
Clear, Easy-to-Read UI: Text and icons are designed specifically for the Steam Deck’s screen—no squinting needed.
Long Battery Life: Game optimized to help your battery last longer.
Smooth Performance: Enjoy stable, smooth gameplay at all times.
Steam Cloud Saves: Switch effortlessly between PC and Steam Deck without losing progress.
Native Compatibility: Runs perfectly on Steam Deck’s Linux system. Zero adjustments required.
Quick Resume: Pause anytime and instantly resume gameplay without any issues or crashes.

Let me know how it works for you!

And soon we're going to announce the release day. Excited about it!
