I love playing roguelike games and Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel looks like a very interesting one. Taking place within Norse Mythology, the fast-paced action looks insane, and I like the challenging missions you can find while in your run. It sounds like a great time, and it is only getting better on the Steam Deck, thanks to the newest update.

A hotfix for the game, which was released a couple of days ago, fixes framerate spikes that appeared on the Steam Deck that could happen during the curse of Winter. That is the only Steam Deck-specific fix, but there are some other improvements that can make playing on the Deck a lot better, like the game now reflecting the FPS limit you set, and the options scroller is working correctly.

Outside of these, a bunch of different bugs and improvements are included as well. Unnecessary error logs have been reduced, the skill points reset is working correctly again, the Ranger weapon accuracy in Insane Difficulty has been adjusted, and lowering texture quality will not lower the HUD's texture quality as well.

There are more improvements for this update, and you can check them all out via their Steam Community Post.
