Dread Delusion: A Handheld Gaming Odyssey

As a gamer on-the-go, I’m always on the lookout for new adventures to embark on. And what better way to do so than with the latest release of Dread Delusion, a first-person adventure RPG that promises a unique, rotten world filled with never-seen-before creatures? But before I dive in, I had one question on my mind: is Dread Delusion compatible with my trusty Steam Deck, Asus Rog Ally, and Lenovo Legion Go?

The Rise of Handheld Gaming

It’s no secret that handheld gaming has reached new heights, and it’s all thanks to Valve’s Steam Deck. The surge in popularity has led to a new era of gaming on-the-go, and I’m excited to see where it takes us. But with new games being released left and right, it’s natural to wonder: will they work on my handheld device?

Dread Delusion: A Promising Start

Dread Delusion has been in early access for a while, and I was excited to try it out on my Steam Deck. And I wasn’t the only one - many players reported positive experiences during its early access phase. But now that the full version is out, things have taken a turn for the worse.

Steam Deck Compatibility

According to the developers, Dread Delusion is a Verified game for the Deck. However, running it on the Steam Deck after its v1.0 version release has been a pain for many. During its early access phase, the game did run well, despite not having any official compatibility. Even one of the developers on the QA team mentioned that it worked pretty well out of the box, with only small quirks to keep in mind.

But now, reports suggest the game is able to run at only 20-30 FPS, which is almost half of what it used to run on. This laggy nature of the game is prevalent on PCs too. The developers are actively working on fixing the game’s performance by optimizing it, so rest assured that an update will be released soon.

Asus Rog Ally and Lenovo Legion Go

Compared to the game’s performance on the Deck, you will get a slightly better experience when trying the game out on your Asus Rog Ally and Lenovo Legion Go. Since both of these handhelds have superior hardware and run on Windows OS, there is no room for compatibility issues. But as said earlier, the game’s performance isn’t quite satisfactory, and the developers are currently investigating the matter.

The Future of Handheld Gaming

Conclusion

Dread Delusion may not be perfect on handheld devices just yet, but with the developers working hard to optimize its performance, I’m excited to see where this game takes us. As a gamer on-the-go, I’m always looking for new adventures to embark on, and Dread Delusion promises to deliver. So, if you’re willing to overlook its current performance issues, I say give it a shot.
