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.

    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.

    If you prefer some story-heavy games, you can try Eastward. It has gorgeous art style and controls and UI are a great fit for handheld devices such as Deck and Switch. It takes ~15% battery a hour and can be completed in 10 to 15 hours.

    If you’re fine with longer games which will take 45-70 hours total, try some 2D JRPGs like Trails in the Sky FC (which also has nice touch input in menus!), Trails from Zero and Chained Echoes. All tree aren’t battery-heavy at all.

    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 😅.

        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.

    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!

    I have flown twice with a deck-like windows pc and with a switch.

    Both times i loaded them up with all the games. Probably 10 times more i could ever hope to play.

    I ended up playing only Lumines.

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