This The First Berserker Khazan Steam Deck guide will discuss how well the game moves to the portable console. Games are an absolute roller coaster with the portable device with some working perfectly and others being a walking disaster/more volatile than a sick baby. This time around I’ll be looking at a game that I admittedly expected to fall short. The First Berserker Khazan is a very popular new soulslike, action RPG with lots of swift combat and stellar graphics that has made it a hit over on Steam.

The First Berserker Khazan Steam Deck Performance Review
With a game like this I honestly expected it to fall apart on the Steam Deck. It’s a good console but TFB is a game that’s available on PlayStation as well as PC which got my sensors up for a bad experience.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that this game can run smoothly on Deck pretty easily. If you trust your battery then you can get a consistent 60FPS frame rate by just turning down the graphics a bit and turning off shadows, there’s no visual glitching or lag for inputs like I’ve come to expect in strenuous action titles.
The problem there being, this game WILL eat up the device’s battery and can cause some heating. To get any sort of consistent game time you’ll have to basically lock it at 30FPS with all of the graphical settings as low as can be.
That’s definitely the biggest trade off with this one. It is a smooth-running, good looking game but it is absolute hell on the portable console’s battery, making it less appealing to take on the go with you.
There are no other issues that often crop up however, there’s no reports of the game crashing or worse, not even being able to launch on the Steam Deck. So if you’re willing to tinker with this one then it will be a useful addition to your Steam Deck’s library.
