Today I took a look at running Astral Chain on the Steam Deck. This game originally came out for the Nintendo Switch(2019).
This has been a highly requested game on the channel.
Does the Steam Deck have what it takes? Or is this another unplayable mess that only the ROG Ally could hope to solve?
I took a look at it on Yuzu (Early Access) as well, the latest build of Ryujinx.
I did try a 60 FPS mod, however it did not yield any better results.
