![]() The Z1 Extreme is an 8-core Zen 4 processor with RDNA 3-powered graphics, and can be cranked up to a maximum of 30W when plugged in. ![]() The ROG Ally is the first handheld gaming PC to use AMD’s new Z1 Extreme mobile processor, which is notably more powerful than the Steam Deck’s custom APU, as well as the thus-far mobile king, the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U. Both devices ran up similar battery depletion when using these settings as well, averaging about 4-5 hours on most play sessions. Indie titles tend to run well on both devices, with the likes of Vampire Survivors, Dead Cells and Hades all running at an easy 60fps on Steam Deck and ROG Ally without issue. You’re going to be limited to that excitement for around 1-2 hours at most, but, this also isn’t unexpected as the Ally runs a similar size battery to the Steam Deck. 1080p on the Ally’s 7-inch screen looks amazing and the detail is wonderful, especially for a handheld device. When it comes to performance while gaming, we tested the Ally on a few different games with various launchers. Specs: ROG Ally vs Steam Deck Performance and Battery Life: ROG Ally vs Steam Deck Here's how the PC handhelds compare across the board overall. But, overall, Steam and other launchers work just fine on the Ally, while also feeling a tiny bit clunky at the best of times. There’s still plenty to love, and the Ally has a clear ambition to be a jack-of-all-trades handheld device, while in comparison the Steam Deck specialises in being a portable Steam machine, with the added bonus of other launchers if you’re willing to tinker. All the while we're each allowed our own opinion, that being said this is my own.Generally, as a handheld device, the ROG Ally is not as initially intuitive as the likes of the Steam Deck. I'm not trying to rip on you, merely pointing out that there are countless aspects to consider when forming an opinion on something as potentially immersive as a game. Some of the most ambitious games have been swept under the rug for the stupidest reasons. There was depth in this game's skill/class system I still have only seen dabbled with by comparison a few times at most since back then. if you could do that you'd see what a gem it was, a diamond in the rough due to developers which couldn't even see what they had, if only to clean it up and perfect it, none of which happening was their flaw in turn the game's downfall sadly enough. One of a kind dynamics here, honestly just needed to wade through some atrociously murky waters of that treacherous sewer that ended up being the state of coding to bring it all together. Nether Katal being a sort of alchemy never seen before in games before or since (as far as i'm aware) allowing for the mixing of components to create spells for later use, from everything to summons to damaging spells. Each magic having it's own select type of fuel source for spells as to not interfere with one another. A class system tied together with 5 different forms of magic & specialties to make one's character truly unique, catering to the player's style of play. Though lets not forget where it succeeded. that is what makes a game worth someone's time. The game itself what it stood up trying to do, what it brought to the table that was/is standing the test of time as being unique, what it did differently. There are many reasons to think a game is bad, but to think a game is bad simply because it's broken is like saying that someone who is poor is a piece of sh!t because of it. Crosmando: Wow, for once GOG curation is doing something right, considering that Dungeon Lords is one of the worst RPGs ever made. ![]()
