Independent developers' quirky RPG platformer Beyond Galaxyland is now officially Steam Deck Verified, allowing players to enjoy it on Valve's popular handheld console. This news comes alongside the release of a new patch that aims to improve the overall gameplay experience.

Beyond Galaxyland Premise

Beyond Galaxyland combines turn-based combat, exploration, and platforming in a universe where Earth has been evacuated due to an unknown infection. Along with their sentient guinea pig companion Boom Boom, players assume the role of Doug, a human survivor, as they explore different planets in quest of answers. The game's intriguing plot, lighthearted tone, and role-playing game features—such as a strong party system and the ability to capture and summon creatures during battles—have already garnered a lot of attention.

Performance on Deck

Anyone curious about the game's performance on the Steam Deck can rest assured that players can expect responsive controls and smooth gameplay on the portable platform thanks to the recent verification. It now doesn't matter if you're playing on a desktop or mobile device; the developers claim that all UI issues have been fixed. Here at Steam Deck HQ, we gave Beyond Galaxyland a perfect score of 5/5 for its Deck performance, further establishing the game as an absolute must-have for the portable device.

New in Patch 1.0.2.2?

In addition to Steam Deck verification, a new patch has been released, addressing several gameplay issues and improving controller compatibility. Some of the key fixes include:

• Corrected an issue with the ‘Enter’ key not functioning during dialogue choices.
• Adjusted deadzone settings for easier ship navigation in space.
• Improved platforming sections for smoother gameplay.
• Fixed PlayStation DualShock and DualSense controller support.

The improvements on the Steam Deck, along with these fixes, make Beyond Galaxyland more enjoyable and accessible to a wider audience. If you haven’t done so already, perhaps add it to your Wishlist on Steam today for future updates.
