Slay the Spire roguelike adds full Steam Deck support
It's already one of the best card games on PC, now Slay the Spire patch 2.3 has added full Steam Input support so it can conquer the Steam Deck too. Additionally, one of its most popular mods has gone standalone, and developer Mega Crit reveals it is working on multiple "secret projects".
A fusion between card battler and roguelike game, Slay the Spire launched over three years ago and quickly rose in popularity, selling more than 1.5 million copies in two months. In February 2022, the game is still going strong and has been verified as Steam Deck compatible - although only 'playable' as it's noted that there are some control issues.
With the game's latest update, Mega Crit has added full support for Steam Input, allowing users to play with "a wider variety of controllers and customise input settings through Steam's Controller Configuration". As the Steam Deck uses Steam Input, the developer notes that "Slay the Spire will work nicely out of the box". Alternatively, if you want to keep your current controller setup you can easily disable Steam Input instead.
