“Another very hard classic Shoot Them Up from Toaplan that works perfectly on the Deck.”

“Great casual Beat Them Up that's totally worth a try. Good roster with lots of combo possibilities, good enemy variety etc... It's really fun and works perfectly on the Deck.”

“Not a very good shmup. Normal is too easy and Veteran has bullshit like enemy bullets being hidden by your shots etc.. but it works perfectly on the Deck and normal difficulty can be relaxing I guess.”

“Updated version of an excellent free Shmup. Totally worth the cheap price. Works perfectly on the Deck. Check https://zakichi.itch.io/ if you wanna try the free version and some other free games.”

“Pretty good single-screen platformer for short sessions. It fits the Deck perfectly in my opinion, even more with its small size. Works out of the box.”

“Pretty fun shmup that's far more forgiving than most of the other games from the dev. Not the best looking game though. Works perfectly on the deck.”

“I have fond memories of this one on the SNES. Better switch to the japanese version and set the game speed to 1.3x at least for the best experience. Works perfectly out of the box.”

“Freaking classic! Especially the special version (which is included here). One of my favorites. Works perfectly out of the box.”

“The last game in the Zeno trilogy and this time it alternates between shmup and top down run and gun (which are kind of similar to the ones in Contra 3) stages. Works perfectly out of the box.”

“Classic that works perfectly on the Deck.”

“Pretty fun run and gun with some heavy Metal Slug influences. Works perfectly on the deck. Diagonals are not working by default but the only community layout available fixes that.”

“Fun air hockey game that works perfectly on the Deck. Obviously better suited for local multiplayer but singleplayer is pretty fun too with many things to unlock.”

“Well, it's not the best platformer out there but it's still a pretty cool little game in the vein of Sonic. Works perfectly out of the box.”

“Cool remake of the classic with 3 arcade modes and 30 challenges. Fits the Deck perfectly for some short sessions.”

“Very fun and original physics based puzzle-game with a good amount of content and unlockables. Great for local multiplayer (which you can mix with online). Works perfectly out of the box.”

“Another great shmup form Toaplan. Also includes the original japanese version V・V which has a Gradius-like power up system and no bombs. Works perfectly out of the box.”

“Far from being the best action platformer but what's there is pretty fun. Could have been better with some scoring mechanics etc...”

“Pretty fun as long as you play on easy difficulty so you don't have to deal with the food mechanic. Works perfectly out of the box.”

“Great Golden Axe-inspired Beat Them Up. It has some great pixel art but also some of the goofiest music I've ever heard. Works perfectly on the Deck.”

“It always feels like most people prefer Out Zone but this spiritual successor is also pretty freaking good with its different characters etc... Works perfectly out of the box.”

“Another unique game from Mindware where you dig tunnels in which you lure enemies to bury them alive. Takes a little while to get into but it's pretty good. Works out of the box.”

“Another cool shmup that finally came out of early access after almost 3 years without any updates. I find it more enoyable than Q-YO Blaster from the same dev. Works perfectly out of the box.”

“Pretty fun single-screen platformer that borrows the ladder mechanic from Rod Land. Kind of sad to not include any sort of scoring for the arcade mode though. Works perfectly out of the box.”

“Pretty fun isometric racer with lots of races to play casually here and there. I find Classic Mode more fun than Pointing Mode so I'd suggest selecting that.”

“Very unique sports game that's obviously much more fun against a human than against a bot. Simple but hard to master. Works perfectly on the Deck.”

“Well, it's Mount Your Friends in 3D. Fun party game too for some hot seat action.”

“Amazing Puzzle-Game which I suck at. It was marked as unsupported (and still is at the time of writing this) but now works flawlessly.”

“My least favourite game from Siter Skain (not counting the original Alltynex on FM Towns which I haven't played) but still a fantastic Shmup.”

“It's not bad but things like the fact that most of the stages only have 1 floor & that there's no ladders anywhere make it seem more like a rip-off than an official sequel.”

“Collection of classics that works perfectly on the Deck. You can safely ignore the EGS shit if you don't plan on playing online against friends who use this version.”

“Classic & perfect for short sessions.”

“Another good metroidvania with lots of puzzles.”

“Cool little roguelite Beat 'em Up with tons of unlockables. Far from the best but pretty fun nonetheless.”

“Cool collection with more NES exclusives compared to the first one (Mendel Palace, Mappy-Land, Legacy of the Wizard, Dragon Buster II). Also a cool Gaplus NES port made especially for the compilation.”

“This and its sequel are super relaxing to me. Perfect for short sessions since you play each stage separately. Change the Proton compatibility to 4.11-13 otherwise the game won't start.”

“Works & looks great on the Deck. Would have been cool to have some kind of scoring system & leaderboards (local or online) in the game considering the arcade length etc...”

“Fun metroidvania with a cool artstyle.”

“Fun tag-based fighting game that works perfectly on the Deck. Too bad there's an updated version with more characters etc... that seemingly will be forever stuck on consoles.”

“Quite cool Mech game from Astroport that plays more like a run and gun than something like Cybernator because of its linear level design. Works great on the Deck.”

“Cool collection packed with games. The ones that were originally made for rotary sticks/spinners controls can be buggy with directions getting stuck (nothing to do with the Deck though).”

“Cool puzzle-game with simple but effective gameplay.”

“Great puzzle-game/point and click that works perfectly on the Deck. Kind of short.”

“Great short and tight twin-stick shooter/beat'em up with a cool artstyle.”

“Pretty fun fighting game with simplified controls but lots of mechanics. Runs perfectly on the Deck.”

“Amazing horizontal Cute'Em Up with some cool mechanics. Would have been better if the local coop mode from the AC version was included. Beautiful on the Deck.”

“Still in Early Access but already pretty great. Better change the render API to Vulkan in the game options for much better performances in some places. Outside of that it works out of the box.”

“Cute and fun puzzle-platformer. Download the only controller configuration there is and you're good to go. Good luck beating the dev times.”

“Not much content but what's there is quite enjoyable if you're into hi-score chasing.”

“2 great Shoot Them Ups from Visco + a mediocre one specifically developped for this collection. Works perfectly on the Deck.”

“Fun action platformer but too easy due to infinite lives and pretty forgiving checkpoints. Would have been cool to have a harder difficulty with a continue system. Works perfectly out of the box.”

“One of my favorites + Ghoul Patrol. Not sure why it's unsupported, it works perfectly out of the box. Local multiplayer works too.”

“Excellent puzzle-game with a lot of single-player content. Local multiplayer is great too with some cool modes. Works perfectly out of the box.”

“Pretty fun game if you're looking for some dumb helicopter action. Works perfectly out of the box with max settings.”

“Excellent top down racing game with randomly generated tracks, an editor and steam workshop support. Works perfectly out of the box.”

“Pretty cool Super Puzzle Fighter clone with multiple singleplayer modes that let you unlock new characters etc... Works perfectly on the Deck.”

“Pretty unique and challenging roguelike in which you run, use your grappling hook and steal vehicles to avoid (or kill) giant aliens. It works perfectly but you'll need to grab a community layout.”

“Pretty fun dungeon crawler roguelike inspired by King's Field. Quite challenging to play without a ranged weapon. Works perfectly out of the box.”

“Pretty cool take on Castlevania with some challenging bosses. Wish we would see more doujin games from the 90's and 2000's getting rereleases on Steam. Works perfectly on the deck.”

“Pretty cool fast-paced arena fighting game with some fun singleplayer content and mech customization. Works perfectly out of the box.”

“Good beat 'em up. I had some bad framerate issues the first time I launched the game, restarting the Deck was what fixed it. No problem outside of that.”

“Pretty good sequel and a good choice if you're looking for a challenging megaman-like. Works perfectly out of the box.”

“Pretty cool beat 'em up that works perfectly out of the box. Plenty of modes and unlockables.”

“Another excellent shoot them up that works great on the Deck. If you played it on your PC and changed the resolution above 1024x768 it won't start. Just revert it back in the config menu.”

“Great Robotron clone that's perfect for short sessions on the Deck.”

“Another awesome shoot'em up from Picorinne Soft with an excellent weapon/power-up system. Much better than the original game. Works flawlessly and looks great on the Deck.”

“Another good remaster from Nightdive. The game doesn't start with the native linux version, just switch to the most recent proton (or another version I guess) and you're good to go.”

“There were beat them up with better gameplay even when it came out but it's still pretty fun in my opinion. It being linear unlike the other games in the series is a + in my book. Works perfectly.”

“Takes a little bit of time to get going but it's a really cool action RPG that plays like a good beat them up. The tag mechanics are cool when you play solo. Works perfectly out of the box.”

“This game is not great outside of the pixel art and kind of too easy. It works perfectly on the deck though if, like me, you got nostalgia for some mediocre platformers from the 16-bit era.”

“Great Shoot Them Up with a very unique artstyle. Pretty easy to 1CC on default starting rank. Works perfectly on the Deck.”

“Excellent fighting game from the Neo-Geo Pocket Color. Default controller layout won't let you move, just chose another one and you're good to go.”

“Pretty good survival horror that works well on the Deck.”

“Very enjoyable single-screen platformer where you throw boxes around either to kill enemies or to reach the keys you need to clear the levels. Works out of the box.”

“One of my favorite Psykio Shmups. Download the only controller configuration there's and you're good to go.”

“Pretty fun platform fighter with lifebars for up to 8 players in local/remote play together (only 1vs1 online). Works out of the box.”

“Another fun metroidvania with great some pixel art.”

“There are far better brickbreakers on Steam in my opinion but Wizorb is cool eventhough I remember it becoming pretty annoying near the end of the game. Works perfectly.”

“Excellent metroidvania that works perfectly on the Deck. For some reason, I've noticed slowdowns in 2 rooms in a full playthrough, nothing too bad though.”

“Excellent Beat Them Up that works perfectly out of the box.”

“Not the best FPS but still a pretty cool one, especially if you like some good old secret hunting (which is kind of necessary for the skill tree). Works perfectly out of the box.”

“Many people seem to dislike this one. It's a pretty competent old-school beat'em up in my opinion and it works perfectly on the Deck.”

“Awesome and pretty unique run and gun that feels like a puzzle-game at times thanks to its time travel mechanics. Works perfectly out of the box on the deck. Great for short sessions.”

“A charming roguelite. I had to download some controller configuration but it works perfectly.”

“Pretty fun roguelite with some great pixelart and lots of unlockables. Better play in multiplayer (local or online). Works perfectly out of the box on the Deck.”

“Good Windjammers clone that works great on the Deck. Only buy it if you plan on playing locally or using remote play together because the real online is dead and there's no much to do in singleplayer.”

“One of my favorite games. Works well on the Deck but I wouldn't play it without a mouse to aim.”

“It's a fun arcade racer with some unlockables and online leaderboards. The VS mode is not particularly interesting. Works perfectly out of the box.”

“Fun platformer that kind of looks and feels like a GBA game with its big sprites etc... Works perfectly out of the box.”

“Fun old-school Metroidvania with some Berserk influences thrown in.”

“Excellent Roguelike that's challenging as hell.”

“Great metroidvania with multiple characters you can switch between. Can get kind of frustrating with the backtracking before you un lock some upgrades.”

“Most of the complaints I've seen about Nidhogg 2 is that it's not the 1st game. Whatever, it's good. Works perfectly out of the box.”

“Another amazing Shoot'em up that runs perfectly on the Deck. Supports Tate.”

“Very good old school racer focused on drifting with branching paths like Outrun and multiple modes.”

“Very fun and much better than I expected. Comes with a fairly large roster of selectable characters which are all pretty different from each other. Works perfectly out of the box on the Deck.”
