I’ll be travelling soon and was wondering what are good games for low power-usage and offline?

Previously I enjoyed:

  • Into The Breach
  • Baba Is You
  • Vampire Survivors
  • Super Mario All-Stars (SNES)

At the moment I’m planning to set up:

  • Lufia 2 (SNES)
  • Shadowrun (SNES + Genesis versions)
  • Golden Sun (GBA)
  • A Link To The Past (SNES)
  • Minish Cap (GBA)
  • A Link Between Worlds (NDS) - never played it, hopefully the controls map well!
  • Fire Emblem: Awakening (NDS) - same as above, never had a NDS
  • Oracle Of Ages (GBA)
  • Chrono Trigger (SNES)
  • Ogre Battle 64 (N64) - not sure how bad the power usage is on the N64 emulators

Maybe the Ace Attorney and Professor Layton series too which I haven’t played. Also GTA1, London and 2 if they work. I love Advance Wars too but I’ve played it too many times already.

Basically anything that is easy to run, low power, and easy to play with just the controls and small screen in a cramped space. Ideally nothing too difficult / stressful like Hollow Knight that could be hard to play without good screen brightness or cramped.

I like a lot of older PC games but unfortunately they’re difficult to play without a mouse and on the small screen - e.g. Ultima VII and Arx Fatalis.

    Here’s some recent games I enjoyed that all run well on Steamdeck

    • fan patched (tweak romhack) copy of FFTactics:WotL (PSP) (the fan patch for this game fixes many of my grievances)
    • Chrono Trigger (NDS) has some extras
    • FF12 Zodiac Age (Steam) doesn’t burn through power too quickly (hasn’t gotten hot yet)
    • FFTA (GBA)
    • Persona 3 Portable (Steam) gets okay battery time
    • Stardew Valley (Steam)
    • FF7 (PS1)
    • Inscryption (Steam) was quite good; the klunky controls work OK on turn base games
    • Fallout: New Vegas (Steam) is very playable
    • Hades (Steam)
