Looking for something that won’t kill my battey and has some depth. I have Vampire Survivor but that get stale after about 30 minutes.

    Slay the Spire is a deck mainstay for me. A good run is 40 minutes to an hour.

    How about SNES or GBA emulation? For what it’s worth, many flights now have a power outlet between the seats

    Chained Echoes. 16 bit RPG with great art and gameplay, but it’s not hard on the battery and it has modern day QOL features.

      100% support this. Feels like it was made for the deck. Gives me super big Game Gear vibes but like you said, with 2023 qol.

    Hades was practically made for Steam Deck

      Hades is great, but it’s not very battery friendly for a 2d game in my experience.

        You can turn on practically all the power saving features and it still runs great. I haven’t timed it, but it can go on pretty long.

    Emulating Gamecube games is pretty low-spec if you compile the shaders beforehand. Battery life nets 2-3 hours on flights for me (Steam Deck). I have nearly 2000 hours of Animal Crossing GC combined, pls don’t judge me 😅.

    Dunno if it’s your jam, but I just picked up Dead Cells and it’s super light weight power wise. Also, retro emulation is usually pretty good on the battery. Get Emudeck going and some GB or GBA games and have a blast.

      can’t recommend Tunic enough. Such an amazing game with extremely deep lore.

        The Golden Path is probably one of the coolest puzzles I’ve done in a game, ever.

    Baba is You can last for over 6 and a half hours - the longest battery life I’ve ever seen on my Deck. You just need to enable the minimum TDP limit.

    I also believe Brotato lasts a lot, Pixross too.

    Check out Celeste if you haven’t already. For me it’s the perfect 2D platformer and works really well on the deck. Think I clocked around 100 hours on it just on it alone!

    Most planes nowadays have a charging port where you can plug in your phone for the duration of the flight. Therefore, I recommend getting an emulator on your phone and playing games on it. Usually if I want something casual, I get an NDS emulator and play Pokemon Platinum or HGSS. Other recommendations are FFIV, Etrian Odyssey III, Shin Megami Tensei, DQ4, some of these are ports but they run well on DS emulator.

    You could get Idol Showdown. It’s a 100% free fighting game that’s only 200 MB. It might not be the only game you’d want to take along though.
