Want to dive into a brand new fantasy world where magic, alchemy, and other fantasy elements are a thing? Well, look no further than the latest release, Brighter Shores. The game, from renowned designer Andrew Gower, has been developed and published by Fen Research Ltd. Featuring a unique system of professions that you choose, along with various classes, the game essentially is a typical point-and-click RPG but with mysteries around every corner. Well, since the game has debuted on both Windows and macOS systems, it is obvious that handheld owners will be looking for details regarding its compatibility with the Steam Deck, Asus Rog Ally, and Lenovo Legion Go. So, in this article, we have shared everything there is to know about the same.
RPGs and handheld gaming are a perfect match, as most RPG games are better enjoyed on handhelds, given that the players don’t need to be glued to their PCs to spend countless hours in-game. Similarly, the gameplay and features of Brighter Shores align perfectly with handheld devices, which is why the curiosity among handheld players is quite valid. So, does the game offer handheld compatibility? Let’s find out.

Brighter Shores Steam Deck, Asus Rog Ally, and Lenovo Legion Go Support Details
Steam Deck
Now, while it’s disappointing that Brighter Shores is neither listed as Playable nor Verified for the Steam Deck on Steam, there is some good news. Like many other games, despite lacking official compatibility details, Brighter Shores does run on the Steam Deck, and this has been confirmed by many players who have tried the same. For the majority of the players, the game has been reported to run right out of the box, without the need for any tinkering with Proton settings and such. However, the only thing to take care of while playing the game on the Deck is the controls. Since Brighter Shores doesn’t offer controller support, you will have to manually map certain in-game controls to suit the Deck or use a custom layout for the best experience.
Lenovo Legion Go & Asus Rog Ally
Similar to the case with the Steam Deck, Brighter Shores runs perfectly well on the Lenovo Legion Go and Asus Rog Ally. Well, this isn’t surprising since both these handhelds are basically Windows PCs but with compact hardware that can run almost every AAA title. However, when it comes to controls, you will have to manually adjust them. Apart from controls, the game has no issues running on the Deck.
