I bought an OLED Steam Deck recently, and although I was looking at it being primarily an emulation machine, I found out that Steam has a ton of exclusives that are not available on consoles.

I found Ex Zodiac and now I want to know if there are any good exclusives to Steam that I should play.

Also, Ex Zodiac is a spiritual successor to the SNES version of StarFox and is amazing. Here’s a link to it:

I appreciate any and all suggestions. Thanks!

My GotY so far. It’s like NES Legend of Zelda reimagined as a twin stick shooter w/some light RPG elements.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Should control nicely with the Deck's gyro.

Dome Keeper is a simple rogue-like with a mix of tower defence & mining. Not super great, but I put in 67h innit. It's pretty chill and good to play while you listen to something.

Bloons TD6 is a PC exclusive simply because of the controls. Playing with a controller would be a nightmare.

Deus Ex

Didn't that one came out on some console?

Yea, PS2, but somewhat compromised. I'll allow it, but it probably doesn't play well on deck.

A few more:

Don't know how well this might run on the Deck tho, might be worth to check out some YoutTubes for that matter. Aside from that, it's a very nice remake of a classic.

This one has gotten a lot of praise. I haven't tried it, but I played a bit of Gothic and, surprisingly, it has pretty nice gamepad controls.

Thank you! There are so many awesome exclusives!

Dome Keeper got a major content update this summer. I've been meaning to get back in to it.

Yep, been playing it. 15-20 hours maybe and cleaned up some achievements.

Moonring looks like junk but once you play it, its amazing. I can't believe it's free.

Pro-tip: You can actually just play the demo and its the full game minus the current up the date patch. You'll be hooked for 1000s of hours.

Zero Ranger will become your new show-off game if you got the OLED. Won't make sense until you see it on the Deck. Then you'll get it.

Finally got around playing Dome Keeper with the new update. It's still great! And there's a whole lot new stuff to delve into.

Isn't Slay the Princess only on PC right now? I'd hit that game up in a hot second on console.(not sure if it is steam exclusive but perhaps at least currently PC exclusive)

Also, any chance Subverse gets a Switch 2 port, lol? Prudes man, amirite?

 

[Mister Wolf]

Legend Of Heroes: Trails In The Sky Trilogy. If you know you know.

 

[Codes 208]

One of my favorites, granted its been a very hot minute since ive tried playing it on a steam deck

 

[Dorfdad]

Some of you all need to be arrested!!!

I just bought the first one and I’m so excited to started it!

Welcome to the fanbase haha.

Pizza Tower

It's on Switch now.

 

[dorkimoe]

deep rock survivor is awesome (not the fps one)

Not sure if it has to be steam deck?

DCS wouldn't be on deck at least but one of my favorite all-time exclusive. Nothing like it and nothing like it will ever be on consoles. Simple as that.

Otherwise,

Want From Software King's Field spiritual successor?

Feels like Star Trek, exploration, customization, alien artifacts, etc.

Russian System Shock in a submarine, very well done immersive sim.

Vampire the masquerade Bloodlines was never released on consoles, a must play (patched)

This one either. The enhanced edition I believe will be released on consoles but yea, nightdive studios, god knows when. This is imo, the king of immersive sims.

I think this Klei game is not on consoles?
