Settings/Accessibility/MiscThe game runs well on steamdeck.
If I may nerd out briefly here, Milkstone also once again included a welcome nod to the 1994 fantasy FPS Heretic in the Gauntlets of Necromancy weapon, functioning very similarly to that game- it even gains lifesteal and its blasts change from green to red when you evolve it, much as it did in Heretic when boosted by the Tome of Power!
Keyboard, mouse and gamepad support with key rebinding available.
