Is Manor Lords Steam Deck compatible?

If you’re in the mood for some medieval-themed RTS-ing, maybe give Manor Lords a go. It seems to be doing pretty well on Steam, with a current review score of “very positive.” I know it’s early days yet, but there seems to be a bit of buzz surrounding Slavic Magic’s strategy game.

Also, if you have a Steam Deck, you may be wondering whether you can play it on the go. Get a bit of gaming in before you have to clock in at Evil Corporation, Inc. Who am I to judge?

Anyway, if you want to be able to play Manor Lords mobile, it looks as though the game is indeed playable on Steam Deck. There are some caveats to that, of course, but the notes on the Steam page show that the visual options are running well, but there may be a few issues here or there. In any case, it should run on the device.

What does it all mean?

Before you go rushing to play it on your Deck, remember that it’s been declared “playable.” This means it’s comparable to playing the game on a home PC, but may lack some of the functionality. In this case, “some in-game text is small and may be difficult to read.”

When it comes to the Steam Deck, only things that are labeled as “verified” are 100% compatible. In these instances, the game in question has either been built with the device in mind or the developer has sent out some updates to make it more mobile-friendly.

In its current state, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to play Manor Lords on the move, but don’t expect it to be quite on par with a gaming PC. No doubt if the game does well, the studio will send out a patch, so keep an eye out for that.
