It’s also currently not officially supported on Steam Deck. Controller support is slated to come later, which poses a problem for playing this on a Steam Deck where you rely on controller style gameplay most of the time. While it technically just came out of Early Access, the fact it doesn’t yet have controller support isn’t great when they’re indicating it’s a complete game. When you look at Darkest Dungeon 2 on the Steam store, you’ll notice a few things that indicate the state the game is in. It’s on Steam, but is it something you can run on the Steam Deck? Can Darkest Dungeon be Played on the Steam Deck? If you’ve played the first game, you’ll know that its character management, turn based combat, and exploration would make it an ideal game to be played portably. Darkest Dungeon 2 attempts to build on the original game by adding some interesting new ideas to the formula while retaining what made the original so good. You can build macros and chorded combinations with other keys and per-key turbo modes, and like I said, it’s dizzying - and Valve barely explains how any of it works.Darkest Dungeon 2 by developer Red Hook Studios is the sequel to the widely enjoyed Darkest Dungeon which featured roguelike systems and turn-based combat. and every one of the Deck’s 20-plus programmable controls can issue multiple different commands depending on how and when you press.

You can click, swipe, flick, and “spin” a virtual trackball press down on their pressure-sensitive surfaces and even set their edges to continually move or turn your character.

In addition to providing an entire traditional gamepad worth of analog joysticks, triggers, and face buttons - almost all of which feel fantastic, I might add - you also get four rear grip buttons and a pair of Steam Controller pads so customizable, calling them “trackpads” feels like a disservice. Okay, you might ask, but all the games I just named have gamepad support - what about the decades of mouse-and-keyboard fare? The Steam Deck lets you borrow or build a dizzying array of custom control schemes that make them feel at home, too.
