I absolutely adore platformers and metroidvanias on the Steam Deck. With how easy they are to run and how great they are to pick up and put down as necessary, these genres are just wonderful to play on the go, and that's what makes this new deal so awesome! Fanatical's Platformania bundle is a build your own deal where you can choose a specific amount of games and pay a set price for each one. The more games you choose, the lower the cost of each one is, and all of these should be fantastic on the Steam Deck:

Fanatical Platformania Bundle Choices:
- Ugly (Verified) (SDHQ Review)
- Gibbon: Beyond the Trees (Verified)
- Boti: Byteland Overclocked (Unsupported, but reported playable)
- Pumpkin Jack (Verified)
- Batbarian: Testament of the Primordials (Verified)
- ICEY (Verified)
- Imp of the Sun (Playable)
- Valfaris: Mecha Therion (Verified)
- Mail Time (Playable)
- 9 Years of Shadows (Playable)
- Elderand (Verified)
- Magenta Horizon (Unknown)
- The Legend of Tianding (Verified)
- GRIME (Verified)
- Teslagrad Remastered (Verified)
- DARQ Complete Edition (Verified)
This is a build-your-own bundle, which means you can pick and choose the games you want and pay a small price for each game. In this case, you can get:
- 3 or 4 Games for $1.66 each ($4.99 or $6.66)
- 5 or 6 Games for $1.60 each ($7.99 or $9.59)
- 7 or More Games for $1.43 each ($9.99 - $22.84)
Like I said before, these types of games are truly perfect on the Steam Deck, and almost all of these titles hold up on the portable device easily! Ugly, Elderand, ICEY, Pumpkin Jack, Teslagrad, and GRIME are all games I know are awesome on the go, but Tianding and Magenta Horizon look fantastic too, making me want to pick them up right now. You can't go wrong with these games, that's for sure, and it's a great way to expand your Deck library!
