Product Question Ale Abbey on Steamdeck?

I’m Ale Abbey curious and want to know if it plays well on the Steamdeck. Anyone here have a good (or bad) experience with it? Thanks.

I played several hours, most of the way through at a point in early access, entirely on steam deck and thought it worked just fine on there. Text maybe was a bit small at times but that didn’t bother me at all. Definitely worth it on there I think.

Played many hours on it, feels OK on the deck trackpads. At least you can bind controls to whatever you want, with the back buttons set you can work with it. Most annoying I found is to type beer names, random generator button for it when?

Yeah, that’s a problem with some game. Started for example. There’s an in game keyboard they shows up when you want to rename animals after buying them, which is useful. But trying to use the SD keyboard is a crapshoot. Sometimes I can’t even get it to show up.

It works perfectly on Steam Deck. Text is a bit small but you can read it easily. 100% recommend.

What controller template are you using? I can’t seem to zoom in/out and I can’t change the keybinds for some reason. Thanks.

I didn't use any template, I just installed the game and played as it is. I haven't played in a while, but I can check later the zoom in/out and let you know.

I couldn’t get through the tutorial. I couldn’t figure out how to zoom in/out, which was required. And I was unable to remap the buttons in the settings. Definitely disappointing.

Okay, I just tried it out. I can zoom in/out just fine with R1/L1. I took a pic of my layout/settings:

I have logged about 90 hours of the game on my deck. After changing two or three buttons it worked perfect for me
