GAMES

owners playing Eclipsium now have a stable option for handheld gaming, though they must manage their expectations regarding frame rates. The latest free update from developer Critical Reflex adds full compatibility for the handheld, resolving previous performance issues that frustrated players. Buyers who prioritize smooth gameplay over maximum speed should lock their settings to 30 frames per second to ensure a consistent experience.

Eclipsium now runs on the Deck with a stable 30 FPS lock.

Stable 30 FPS gameplay replaces previous framerate drops

The update, internally dubbed 'Dark Tar', brings more than just technical fixes to the game. It introduces new story elements, a fresh location to explore, and a sprint function that changes how players move through the world. Critical Reflex described the patch as significant because it finally addresses the hardware-specific hurdles that had plagued the title on portable devices.

  • Steam Deck Performance (30 FPS): Stable 30 FPS, ~13-14W battery drain
  • Steam Deck Performance (60 FPS): Fluctuating framerates, extremely high battery drain
  • Price: $8.44

Performance testing reveals that the game remains quite demanding on the Steam Deck's hardware. Running the title at a locked 30 frames per second results in stable gameplay with a battery drain of approximately 13 to 14 watts. Attempting to push the game to 60 frames per second leads to fluctuating framerates and an extremely high power consumption rate that drains the battery quickly.

Eclipsium is currently available for purchase at a discounted price of $8.44. This sale price is valid until September 3rd, offering a low-cost entry point for players who want to test the new Steam Deck support. The combination of a low price and improved stability makes the game accessible for handheld users who want to try the latest content.
