D&D and Gamma World are two influences intertwined in the DNA of the "newly" released roguelike RPG 'Caves of Qud'.

    This means the story part is finished, right? I had a perfect run up to the point where the story wasn’t finished last time I played, I wonder if my old save file will still work so I can just continue where I left off… 🤔

      According to the release post, yes

      The Caves of Qud 1.0 update includes:

      • The conclusion of the main quest, with multiple endings

      Old save won’t work, gotta start fresh

      And it’ll be worth it, depending on how long it’s been there’ve been a lot of changes and improvements

    I am super intrigued by this, might pick it up next time it goes on a big sale.

    Anyone try playing it on the Deck?

      I know it’s on the “other” site, but this post from a few months ago has several people saying they got it working quite nicely: https://www.reddit.com/r/cavesofqud/comments/1dcqyym/regarding_qud_on_the_steam_deck/

        Lemmy came through (below). Things are getting better here. I feel like we’re reaching critical mass, if only we could stop the infighting.

      It’s truly worth the price. DM me your steam handle if you feel comfortable and I’ll gift it to you.

      Yes, it works fine on the Deck! I find the controls less convenient than kbm, but that might just be me; everything you need is mapped and it feels quite intuitive after a bit.

    Caves of Qud is outstanding. I already had 400 hours logged before the 1.0 launch, and plenty more since!

      I was reading that the devs specifically did a revamp to map the deep control scheme for the Deck. So the answer to your questions is most likely yes.

      I’m playing it regularly on my Steam Deck with no issues. Just took a quick read through of the control mapping.

    Did they finish moving it to Godot before 1.0?

    It’s so good, but I’m a bit sad that my current playthrough from last week can’t load into 1.0…
