It was definitely not the smartest move of mine to play Batora on the Steam Deck. At the beginning, I had too many problems with the interface and the distant camera on the small screen. But this is a personal fault that I can't hold against the game.

What I do criticize, however, is the lack of courage to break out of the known boundaries of its genre a little. For me, Batora is a prime example of a "solid game" that doesn't want to and won't make a big impression. Too many story and gameplay elements I have somehow already experienced before and surprises were in short supply. But what was there was largely fun and varied. The challenge is also balanced by the different types of magic and enemy types.
