Running games off my microsd has a lot of issues and only works rarely (legion go s, not sure if its the reader or card, heard it’s just slow in general)
So I’m looking for more smaller games (at or below 10gb with exceptions if it’s multiplayer online, no bigger than 25gb in that case)
Right Now I Have (haven’t played or tried them all yet, I like variety when I do sit down to play)
Trackmania Stadium and Valley less than 2gb total
Trackmania 7gb
Helldivers 2 slim version 22.54gb
Warhammer speed freaks (suprisingly fun when theres a lobby with ppl) 17gb
Asphalt Legends 9gb (way better than I expected out of a free game)
Burnout Paradise Remastered 7.45gb
Flatout Ultimate Carnage 5.19gb
Redout 4.56
Risk of Rain 2 3gb
Astroneer 3gb
Valheim 2gb
Factorio 1.89gb
Slay The Spire 1.66gb
Monster Train 1.51gb
N++ 1.35gb
Rivals of Aether 351mb
Enter the Gungeon 343mb
Noobs are coming 311mb
Nuclear Throne 222mb
Brotato 213mb
Hypersomnia (topdown shooter) 500mb
Albion Online 7gb (tried it a few times, never really clicked but I crave a mmo)
Hades 2 11.4gb
Hollow Knight 7.6gb
I like all genres but prefer stuff that works purely with the controller.
Ideally, looking for multiplayer pvp game that isn’t a first person shooter since mouse and keyboard wins out there on pc.
Do topdown and sidescrolling online pvp shooters still exist?
Dark Souls 8gb
Raft 10gb
Blasphemous 1 & 2 4gb each
TMNT Splintered Fate 5gb it’s a weaker Hades, but still pretty fun.
Megabonk 500mb
Ball x Pit 600mb

Stardew Valley works pretty well with a controller
Been playing through persona 4 golden, it’s about o gigs on size off the top of my head
Also dark souls
Vampire Survivor is ~600 Mb. Balatro is ~150 Mb. I will second Brotato.
One of the smallest games in terms of disc space is Animal Well with under 40mb.
Really??? Watching the trailer I thought it would be at least 1-2 GB
That dev is a magician
Was going to say Animal Well. Amazing game
And it’s a great game at that
I’d just take a look at the Steam Deck Verified pages as that’ll give you a good idea about a game (at least though Proton).
Balatro
Drop Duchy
Into the Breach (I think this one works on Linux)
FTL
UFO 50
Crypt of the Necrodancer/Rift of the Necrodancer
Super Motherlode (since it looks like you used to play flash games)
Dave the Diver
Vampire Survivors
Hades 1 (it’s still fun even after 2!)
One Step From Eden
FTL is linux native. Last I checked works fine.
Cool, I updated my post. I remember for a long time it was only available on PC and iPad. Not on iPhone. So I just kinda assumed it wouldn’t
Dungeon clawler, breachway, cult of the lamb, and cobalt core are in a similar vein and have worked great on my deck
These seem solid, I put off a few of them like dave the diver and vampire survivors, because I wanted to get a handheld first and forgot about them
Can you tell I like rogue-likes? I do think they work great for mobile games since you can pick them up and put them down easily
Here’s my list of currently installed below 10 gigs:
Does ballisticng still have an online playerbase?
Not at random.
But you can definitley find people looking to play via the community, but you won’t have much luck just jumping into online.
Game is still getting updates.
Check out portmaster
UFO50 runs great on my R36S via Portmaster.
I’ve played loads of it on my anbernic GBA
this is on steamos like a steamdeck, think thats more for weaker handhelds
Ah I see. I think it’d be a good reference point on what’s on the lower end still though even if you don’t use portmaster itself
Nobody has said Hades or Cult of Lamb yet? Uh
+1 for cult of the lamb, that one was really fun. Actually, I’m going to have to start that one again tonight!
I forgot about cult of the lamb, grabbing that, did play hades 1 a while back and have 2 installed rnow.
Dark Souls 8gb Raft 10gb Blasphemous 1 & 2 4gb each TMNT Splintered Fate 5gb it’s a weaker Hades, but still pretty fun. Megabonk 500mb Ball x Pit 600mb
I heard demon souls ps3 works well (prob not a small file size), but I have a ps5 and I feel should just get it on there and play the remake
How does dark souls hold up if you’ve only beat/played elden ring?
DS feels slow and a bit clunky compared to Elden Ring, but it plays in the same way, except it’s more linear, and it’s not open world.
The weapon upgrade system is more tedious, as there are several types of upgrade materials and branching upgrade paths.
But overall, it’s still a solid game almost 15 years later.
Pico8 has some fun games.
Guild wars reforged is good. Only 8 skills means you can map 8 or 4x2 buttons easily.
Never played it orginally, seems interesting
helldivers has a build that is like 30 GB now. runs the same as before on my fedora system.
It’s like 22, I have it installed.
plus shaders its about 30 on my system. i probably need to clear the shaders bc theres no way it needs 8 GB of shaders
I remember I fit binding of isaac and an archlinux install into 10 gigs of storage using btrfs transparent compression.
The computer was a craptop with only 32 gigs of flash storage overall.
These are all smaller games that I’ve enjoyed playing on my steam deck, none of them are online multiplayer focused though:
Inscryption
Celeste
Crypt of the Necrodancer
Spelunky
Bad North
Carrion
Death’s Door
Anything emulated
Been meaning to play celeste, loved towerfall. Is spelunky 2 any good, kinda overplayed the original back when it was a free ps plus game.
