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?

    Vampire Survivors seems to fit the bill: no story, a bit of tactics, you level up to get new items, and enjoy killing hordes of enemies at once. After every run you can unlock power-ups for the next run… It’s one of my most played games in the last few months. It’s one of the classic “just one more run” type of games

      Alternative suggestions:

      Halls of torment

      Soulstone survivors

      Hakls of torment is great. Much better than vampire survivors, in a lot of ways

      Great game unfortunately it’s finishable in about 40-50h. And there isn’t much to do after that. You can overnight farm gold but it doesn’t really get you anything

        Lol I honestly was not sure if your comment was sarcastic or not. I guess you’re saying that if you’re looking to spend 1000s of hours with a game (like what people do with Runescape) Vampire Survivors is not the best. Still, you can easily get 100+ hours out of the base game + another buch of hours with the DLCs.

        Also I think how quick you get tired of it depends on how much you’re looking to break the game with golden eggs farming. I personally have not done it but, if you do, it becomes pretty boring pretty fast.

          I enjoyed my 50h but it isn’t a super long grindy game like OP is asking for.

          Also there’s nothing to do when you farm golden eggs. You can just keep getting bigger numbers but there are no more unlocks etc. Also the lag is the real enemy at that point.

          So great game but not that long.

      I was so addicted to this game it was crazy. Finally able to pull myself away now . It’s also a fun game to just pick up and have a quick session commuting.

      Second this, it’s my usual go to when I want something that doesn’t take a ton of brain power. It can also be played with only one hand on the Deck (mapping A and B to L4 and L5).
