Modern/futuristic/cyberpunk CRPGs for (Steam deck)

[Haggisman]

Started playing BG3 with a few mates a couple of months ago, which has really gotten me into a CRPG mood - I've been playing through Divinity Original Sin on the Steam Deck to scratch the itch between the times we can all get on to play together, but I was wondering if there are any similar games in a more modern/futuristic/cyberpunk setting?

I've played the Shadowrun games, but they're pretty short, and I have Wasteland 2 (which is a post apocalyptic type setting?) and I think I have one of the Xcom games in my library too.

Anything I should look at picking up?

I really enjoyed this and prophecy. Also playing grim dawn on the Xbox, but think it would have been better on PC

Rogue trader looks good, didn't realise that was turn based. Wasteland 3 I'll give a go once I've played 2 Thanks

I have Grim Dawn on GOG, but I couldn't get it running on the deck; that being said, I started it a few years ago, and seem to remember it used quite a few key bindings, so not sure how controller friendly it is - it's also realtime rather than turn based, as is that WH40K game

Otherwise the obvious answer would be The Ascent

There's a couple more Warhammer 40k games that might be worth checking out, Mechanicus and Chaos Gate Daemonhunters, both XCOM style games.

Mechanicus will have controller support as it released on the consoles, Chaos Gate I can't remember if it did but I believe is actually releasing on consoles in the coming days, so it might be something that's now implemented.

 

[Haggisman]

Thanks, those look like fun

Mechanicus is deck verified, but chaos gate shows unsupported due to graphics settings

I've wishlisted anyway, will keep an eye on it in case it gets some updates after the console release.

Nice selection to get started with there, cheers peeps

Rogue trader looks and runs like ass on deck I wouldn't bother. Source, I have it on pc and tried on deck.

Damn, ok thanks :s

Damn, ok thanks :s

Bloody good game though. Unfortunately people will say oh the game runs great on deck because they can get a 30 FPS on low settings when nothing is happening. But as soon as there is some action it's like into the teens.

I have a 4090 and the game utilises all the GPU at 4k so that should say a bit. It could be optimisation thing. I don't know to be honest

 

[Haggisman]

It looks like a game I'd be happy to play on PC anyway, so might wait till it's on sale, and I can always stream to the deck when I'm at home anyway.

Just noticed the fallout classic collection is on sale at fanatical for less than the price of a pint, might pick that one up

Baldurs Gate II is 'gold' verified in protondb but not tried personally.

Not sure how Arpgs snuck in here as 'similar' to a crpgs though. Chaos Gate again is not a crpg at all but still a good game.

Worth checking the old classics like planescspe torment, Icewind dale etc but again no first hand experience on deck.

Steam deck verified so should be good.

i forgot about battetech but i consider it a tactical more than an crpg.

You may have noticed I don't really understand what CRPG games are

 

[LostCorpse]

also worth a look : Colony Ship: A Post-Earth Role Playing Game
Shadowrun Returns

Only just noticed you said you wanted to play the games on steam deck, I have tried the game I recommend on steam deck but Shadow run returns is another nice rpg that should run well.
