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?

Nobody has said Hades or Cult of Lamb yet? Uh
I forgot about cult of the lamb, grabbing that, did play hades 1 a while back and have 2 installed rnow.
+1 for cult of the lamb, that one was really fun. Actually, I’m going to have to start that one again tonight!
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
Been playing through persona 4 golden on my deck, it’s about 9 gigs on size off the top of my head
Also dark souls
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.
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.
Guild wars reforged is good. Only 8 skills means you can map 8 or 4x2 buttons easily.
Never played it orginally, seems interesting
Stardew Valley works pretty well with a controller
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).
Here’s my list of currently installed below 10 gigs:
- 20 Minutes Till Dawn - 128 MB
- Katana Zero - 220 MB
- Donut County - 310 MB
- Mini Metro - 325 MB
- Hyperlight Drifter - 510 MB
- Yes, Your Grace - 740 MB
- Motorslice Demo - 960 MB
- Battle Chef - 1.3 GB
- Tunic - 1.7 GB
- SEKTORI - 2.7 GB
- Deaths Door - 3.6 GB
- BallisticNG - 4.5 GB
- Ruiner - 10.61 GB (Just a tad over 10, but such a good game for Deck)
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.
DREDGE
Also Skul the Hero Slayer
Check out portmaster
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
UFO50 runs great on my R36S via Portmaster.
I’ve played loads of it on my anbernic GBA
Absolum is a nice new roguelite / beat-em-up, played it in local co-op with a friend. Size was around 5 GB.
Silly Poly Beast - 3 GB Another Crab’s Treasure - 7.7 GB
Rabbit and Steel - 376 MB, coop PVE game, plays a lot like FFXIV raids
Haven’t seen Dead Cells mentioned. Love that game.
Pico8 has some fun games.
