This is ridiculously annoying, but thankfully, Nioh provides an option away from it. It is also worth noting Nioh uses a 3rd party launcher. I fixed this by changing the keyboard+mouse input to keyboard only and the quick attack button was still working even after I relaunched the game multiple times. Switching to the keyboard input for the button did fix it, though when I had restarted the game, the button deactivated again. I have uploaded the layout with the name 'SDHQ Steam Deck Nioh Layout', though there is literally only 1 button change (the X input is now emulating the letter J). After initial testing, I elected to make my own entire controller layout, but about 4 hours into on and off working on it, I realized I only needed to change 1 input and that fixed it. All the controls worked fine for me except the quick attack button.which is a big one.

The game actually runs quite well with shadows at high, but I found more stability having them off and, on a portable screen, I personally liked it a bit lighter. When playing around with the settings, I realized that, for whatever reason, having shadow quality at low actually makes the game perform significantly worse in shadow heavy areas as opposed to the high setting. But there are 2 main issues plaguing the game. The game sticks around a pretty stable 40 FPS, looks great, and while there are some random framerate spikes, they are largely not noticeable. Once figured out though, and the game is working, it runs incredibly well. I have read and seen many horror stories of how this game runs on Deck and, for the most part, I was able to figure it all out.

Nioh's performance on Steam Deck, however, is a bit of a mixed bag. And with 3 full expansions piled into this edition, Nioh is a difficult and grindy game that, in the end, feels like a massive accomplishment once beaten. Think Diablo meets Dark Souls and slap in a Japanese setting. Though, unlike other souls games, this one has a much heavier emphasis on randomized gear and grinding. Nioh: Complete Edition is a souls-like game set in Japan where a lone traveler must fight his way through vicious and supernatural warriors to find what he seeks.
