The Darkest Tales – Steam Deck Performance

The Darkest Tales is a great story driven action platformer / metroidvania. You play as a teddy bear trying to rescue its owner.

The game offers great visuals, interesting art style and good voice acting.

Gain new abilities and skill points as you progress, allowing you to revisit old locations and re-explore areas that were previously unreachable.

Deck performance:

On max settings the game can be quite demanding, and often times frames may drop below 40fps. the game seems not very well optimized, so its recommended to play on low settings to get steady framerate and lower power draw.

  • Draws 10-25 Watts depending on settings used and level you are on.
  • You can expect around 2-4 hours of gameplay, depending on chosen settings.
  • Runs at 40-60 fps on high, steady 60 fps on low.

Overall if you play on Deck and care for battery life, its highly recommended to play on Low.
