Deck support was planned from the very start of development. We have a lot of deck owners at @Lavapotion
(the 8-10 hour gameplay was also scoped from the beginning, but if the game sells well - who knows if we add more! :) )
Wielders of the Essence is a great survivor-like that has some fantastic ideas, but doesn't last long enough to enjoy them. However, it's great to play on the #SteamDeck.

The characters we used in Wielders of the Essence didn't come from nothing; they came from YEARS of iterations and awesome work from our artists when we did Songs of Conquest!

Thanks again to @Lavapotion for sending me the demo to Wielders of the Essence, it got me hooked immediately and the full game was even better than I could have hoped!

Wielders of the Essence by @Lavapotion is a certified bop. Loving the pixel style, rapid upgrades, and chaos. Might play some more tomorrow. Check it out: twitch.tv/videos/2925039692

How they grow!
Wielders of the Essence have had their first post-release devlog. Bug hunting is a beautiful thing.
Link in thread!

A pure pleasure to play, especially on the Steam Deck. We now have the easiest two winners in bullet heaven genre: Wielders of the Essence and DRG: Survivor. Two spinoffs, two games made with passion, two successes, both support Ukrainian localization from the start:)

Pilot review from GamingScope's newest critic - and what a fantastic time she had playing/writing this.
@Lavapotion - What a game you've got, can I have a key too? :D

REVIEW: Wielders of the Essence
"Wielders of the Essence goes off like a frog in the sock... in a genre of game that’s being oversaturated, this survivors-like makes a solid splash."

So many cool games coming out, aaah!
If you love your survivor games with a side of sweet warrior frogs, go check out Wielders of the Essence from our friends at Lavapotion!

Wielders of the Essence is one of the best bullet heaven games I have played in a while.
Each run is way shorter than games in that genre. So a good break between modding sessions.
Great work @Coffee_Stain

Another banger from one of my favorite small studios! Go get Wielders of the Essence (especially SoC-fans!), very nice "dad-game" if you need small intense sessions.
Bought it on @Steam and will buy it again on @GOGcom to preserve for future generations <<< @Lavapotion plz
Would love to play these on the deck 👀
Pillars of Eternity 1 and 2 are getting full-fat gamepad support and you can try it right now pcgamer.com/games/rpg/oh-hel…

The best kind of scope creep in the history of games? You decide. Prepare to lost track of... wait, why is it dark outside?
