I have it on both and they’re pretty much identical. Having buttons available can be sorta nice for specific actions, but on the other hand a phone is easier to carry around. Both are great with minor pros and cons.

ahal@lemmy.ca 4 weeks agoI’m debating getting this on mobile or steam deck, is it largely the same experience?

I haven’t played it on mobile, but it does seem made for it. And everything is turn based with absolutely no timers.

Touch controls are better on the phone.
Personally, I prefer playing with buttons, but I’m old like that.

I just set the track pad to be like a mouse and the R1 and R2 to be left and right click and it’s the best way to play it imo.

I prefer to play it on mobile (pirated it to try it out) but I bought it on Steam. As much as I like the mobile version I really don’t want to kill my battery.

Like the others have said, it’s pretty much identical. What makes it perfect on mobile (imo) is dragging the cards feels more natural (especially being a board gamer).

It’s the same experience, imo. On mobile, you can drag and drop the cards into a buy/sell/use section; on the steam deck, there are Xbox control indicators to buy/sell/use/select. I haven’t noticed any other differences. Google play keeps a save file in the cloud, like steam.
