Final yr, Blades of Hearth was launched, and regardless of some points, it was lots of enjoyable. Developed by MercuryStream, this Metroidvania-esque sport has a incredible gameplay loop with nice selection due to its smithing system, the place you need to continually make new weapons. It is superior, and now, it is coming to Steam with help for the Steam Deck.
Right now, the sport was introduced to be coming to Steam on Might 14th this yr, so we’ll solely have to attend 3 months so as to add it to our Steam libraries. Earlier than this, the sport was launched solely on the Epic Video games Retailer, and whereas it might be performed on the Deck by way of Heroic or one other methodology, it nonetheless lacked a few of the nice options Steam offers to assist efficiency, just like the shared shader cache. Now, Blades of Hearth is formally coming, and never solely will it embody these nice Steam options, however it’s going to even have devoted Steam Deck help.
The launch on Steam will coincide with the sport’s 2.0 replace, which incorporates tons of recent content material, a brand new problem degree, and New Sport Plus. Nonetheless, it additionally mentions that will probably be getting Steam Deck help as properly. The sport was already decently playable from Epic, nearly hitting 30 FPS enjoying by way of Heroic, however having official help ought to imply a better-looking sport that may follow a secure framerate.

Blades of Hearth may be wishlisted on Steam now, forward of its Might 14th launch date. It additionally has a demo accessible now to check out for your self, however I do not see any indication that this demo consists of the two.0 replace, so efficiency on Deck might not be a very good indicator from this.
