“Thumbs up. If you love FE you will love this”
“Simple little fire-emblem like game. A bit buggy but fun”

“I came as a Fire Emblem player and I do think that if you're familiar with those titles then this can be an enjoyable experience. They had a lot of ideas in this, many of which were really cool, and then some that were…”
“I like it Army building is my passion and I like the lore”
“A great Fire Emblem like game! I am enjoying the story so far and I like the characters! Definitely worth checking out, looking forward to playing the 2nd one!”

“If you're a FFT or Fire Emblem fan, truth is, I wouldn't recommend this game. It lacks polish in everything and you will be disappointed. Pros: - Cheap when on sale - Support a smaller dev - Sprites look pretty good…”
“7.5 out of 10 great game play love the classes and sprite work only wish the story did not feel so rushed in places.”

“Ok, TBS game. Gameplay is simple yet has some interesting elements. The story is trying to do something, but the game throws at you characters left and right going wide not in depth. I guess that's why I didn't get into…”
“Surprisingly awesome for the price tag. If you enjoyed Shining Force on the ol' genesis you will probably enjoy this. Some people complain about the writing but compared to other modern games this seems a step above so…”

“To anyone coming to this game late and wondering if they should play this for the sequel, I'm here to tell you no. It can be entertaining based on its Fire Emblem-derived strategic gameplay, but it is severely lacking…”

“I bought Dark Deity because it says it's Steam Deck verified and seems like a great game to play on deck. Got through the opening dialogue, started the first battle, and the controls stopped working. Sticks, buttons,…”
“"Full Controller Support", "Steam Deck Verified". The very first gameplay scene doesn't progress in any way unless using the touchscreen, at which point controller controls immediately stop working even for the menus.…”

“It's good, it's like the old Fire Emblem games. The only issue is that normal mode is a little too easy and the hard mode gets too hard eventually.”
“This game is hard. It is clearly inspired by fire emblem, the last air bender, and the storm light archive, and i love it. You have a lot of build choices with your team, but you will hit some sharp difficulty spikes…”

“Dark Deity is similar to Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade and Sacred Stones from the early 2000 GBA Era. I loved those games and since I don't own a Switch or Switch 2 this will be the closest thing I ever get to play resembling those games on Steam.”
— a player, Steam review · 18 hrs played“At its core, Dark Deity is a good game, but it's myriad of issues make the whole package feel subpar. Combat is definitely the best part of Dark Deity, I like the enemies having different weapon and armor types so you have to plan your units around that. It really gets you to…”
— a player, Steam review · 18 hrs played“Not Recommended (but not without merit) Dark Deity ended up being a perfect storm of design choices that, individually, might have been fine, but together created a frustrating experience. There is a solid strategy RPG underneath. The story and characters are decent, enemy AI is…”
