I first off don't want to compare it to Dark Souls. Sure there are times you can, but its more 'Rogue Souls'. It's the dungeon crawler I have been missing all these years. Yes, there are some performance and qol issues. However it's in EA and they will get those resolved. Highly recommend

To run on Steam Deck currently use Proton 8.5

This isn't as much as much a review as it's more about the Steam Deck.

When I first downloaded the game it would crash every time on the oled steam deck. If you run into this issue change the compatibility settings to run on Proton 8.5.

When you first set the setting to 8.5, if you haven't installed it before it will automagically d/l the needed files for this.

At first you will see a black screen, but let it stay up and eventually you will see the Unity logo.

TBH there is some slow down, but the controls work fine, no issues with readability that I have come across as of yet.

I have never had the opportunity to learn chess, but that doesn't mean I haven't wanted to. This title gives me the ability to learn and have fun doing it while challenging me with various different scenarios to be able to learn chess. Plus given the price point and it runs perfectly on Steam Deck, this is a no-brainer.

What seals the deal for me is the remarkably affordable price point coupled with flawless compatibility on the Steam Deck.

Prepare for checkmate, both in chess and in making an astute choice. This opportunity is too compelling to resist.
