Rotwood is an interesting dungeon crawler that was launched last year by the awesome Klei devs, and it has some awesome production quality! While playable on the Steam Deck, the small text and some weird crashes have prevented it from being a perfect fit. However, a new patch that dropped this week fixes some of these odd issues on the Steam Deck.

These patch notes are fairly small and mainly contain crash fixes. For us, the main problem was that an invalid keyboard input could be added when playing Rotwood on the Steam Deck, which tended to crash the game entirely. Some other crash fixes include when the Anomaly Progress UI was updating during a room change, destroying objects when playing online, and when removing a local player. The only other change is that the sign physics sizes near farming plots have been reduced to stop players getting stuck on them, which is always an annoying thing to deal with.

Luckily, all of these issues are fixed, and that's great.

Rotwood is $19.99 on Steam and is rated Playable due to small in-game text and needing to manually bring up the virtual keyboard.
