First look at Lost Eidolons on Steam Deck - Gameplay and performance preview

Today I would like to show you Lost Eidolons, which is a turn-based tactical RPG heavily inspired by the Nintendo exclusive Fire Emblem series.

The good news is that Lost Eidolons is mostly playable on the Steam Deck out of the box. The game starts fine and there is full controller support.

You can even set the right trackpad as a mouse to move faster in the field and also use gamepad controls.

There is a problem with black screen in cutscenes, but you can fix it with the latest ProtonGE.

As you can see, fonts and the whole UI are pretty small. I can read everything on Deck’s screen, but It’s not comfortable. There is no way to improve it at this moment, but the developers are working on a fix.

Let’s talk about performance. The game is running on Unity Engine and sadly there are not many graphical options here.

I couldn't find a way to improve and stabilize the framerate to 40 FPS even with lower resolution forced in SteamOS.

At this moment I recommend playing at native resolution with medium-quality preset and v-sync turned on.

With those settings, Lost Eidolons works really nice on the battlefield view, but when the camera zooms in and there is a lot going on, FPS can drop below 30FPS.

Don’t get me wrong, this is a type of game where framerate is not that important, but I would like to improve it a bit and get better battery results.

The game looks really good and plays fine on Steam Deck.

I hope the most critical issues are fixed soon and I would love to see more graphical options like temporal antialiasing and resolution scaling. I know some people hate it, but sometimes it’s the only way to get a better performance without destroying the whole graphic quality.

I will show you the rest of the prologue. If you have any questions just ask in the comment section.

I hope you like this video and I will be very grateful if you subscribe to my channel. I’m working on more videos so stay tuned!
