"Video game publisher Devolver Digital and indie games developer Four Quarters are today very excited and happy to announce that their old-school-like strategy/RPG “Loop Hero” is coming to PC via Steam on March 4th, 2021.
Furthermore, Devolver Digital Four Quarters has also just announced that a playable PC demo of "Loop Hero" is now available via Steam! And not only that, but a brand-new gameplay video is now available for "Loop Hero" as well." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
42 Steam Deck-compatible games that you can get for free right now, but you'll need an active Amazon Prime subscription for most of them.
I've noticed when I was still paying for Prime that those supposed free games they give through Epic are just free games epic gives without the need of Prime. Rugrats is in the list in the article and it's available to get without Prime so that's pretty shady on Amazon's part, or maybe it's Epic being scummy.
Tales from the Borderlands (the original, good one), Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Borderlands the pre-sequel, Borderlands 2, Loop Hero, Trek to Yomi, Greedfall, Shadow of Mordor, Hard West 2, Figment 2. Some great gets there.
Amazon never give steam codes away so the steam deck link here is silly unless you are modding and installing epic launcher.
Yeah I get a ton of free games on epic, It works but having to launch the Epic browser and games though it is pain vs just using the Steam deck OS. Once the game is running no issue though,
They give away quite a few GOG versions of games though, I suppose you can just slap those onto your Steam Deck (I've done this), although it's not always ideal.
You can but it’s a pain to launch them and doesn’t it require installing windows?
You don't need windows, personally, I just download it on PC, then transfer it to the Steamdeck via network sharing or USB stick. Then you add it to the Steamdeck as a "non-steam game" like you would if you were using a PC. The only downside is if you play the game on both PC and Steamdeck, you'll have to manually transfer save files.
Supposedly you can use Hero launcher or something, but I can't seem to get the games to work after download it via GOG on Steamdeck. So manually transfer it is for me.
Four Quarters' Loop Hero is an addictive roguelite with deceptively simple mechanics and a story that is far from an afterthought.
