[Game] Caves of Qud gets a huge new Beta released with the big UI redesign
An update many have been waiting for, Caves of Qud, one of the best roguelikes ever has a Beta available that includes a huge overhaul to the UI. Much better for gamepad and Steam Deck players.
There's a new beta for Caves of Qud, available by opting into the beta from the game's steam properties.
Noteworthy changes for Steam Deck users:
-
🚨ALL NEW INTERFACE🚨 Our transformational UI redesign is complete! Fully mouseable, fully gamepaddable, and much prettier, but all carefully designed to maintain the essence of what makes Qud Qud. More polish is coming, but everything functional is in.
-
Support for Steam Cloud saves. Play between PCs or between Steam Deck and PC, at your leisure
There are a lot of other good changes too, full patch notes are here.. This patch will exit beta on June 6th.
Oh snap that's cool. I have been wanting to get into the game.
Caves of Qud is an outstanding game. If you're on the fence, allow me to push you over: just gat it!
To be honest I have never really gotten hooked on Caves Of Qud into the core gameplay loop like I have with CDDA, I think it is because Caves Of Qud feels more straightforward beat ‘em up, whereas CDDA is more of a creative survival anarchy.
I know I am wrong though and that one day I will get hooked on Qud, I absolutely love the atmosphere of the game, the universe is 10/10 the most vivid hallucination tile based games have ever managed to conjure.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
An update many have been waiting for, Caves of Qud, one of the best roguelikes ever has a Beta available that includes a huge overhaul to the UI.
Caves of Qud is a science fantasy roguelike epic steeped in retrofuturism, deep simulation, and swathes of sentient plants.
Come inhabit a living, breathing world and chisel through layers of thousand-year-old civilizations.
They said this transformational UI design works fully with mouse or gamepad (on top of keyboard) and is much prettier.
