Robot Rhapsody looks like a good one if you're into pixel-styled JRPGs, a cyberpunk odyssey of techno-cults, rebels, & robotic bards. The developers said it will be fully compatible with Steam Deck (and so Steam Machine too) and likely any SteamOS / Linux system.

Coming from Rapturous Studio, who also made the Very Positive (Steam) rated Beloved Rapture released back in 2024.

What is it? A turn-based RPG following Selva, a retired mercenary; and a band of other survivors fighting back against AI-controlled "utopias". Recruit machines to your side, upgrade with salvaged tech, & explore bizarre pockets of human resistance. Seems like an interesting one for the times.
