Why on Deck

CrossCode is already a masterpiece of a game, but on the Deck it becomes something else entirely. This is a 30 to 80 hour pixel art action RPG with puzzles so clever you’ll want to pause, think, and maybe pace around a bit, and being able to do that from your couch or bed makes every “aha” moment feel that much better. The combat is fast and satisfying with a controller in hand, way more natural than mouse and keyboard ever felt. You can dip in for a dungeon, knock out a puzzle shrine, or just wander the open world for a bit, and it all fits perfectly into whatever time you have. This is exactly the kind of epic sci-fi adventure you want to sink into over a few weeks of evening sessions.
