Looking for something that won’t kill my battey and has some depth. I have Vampire Survivor but that get stale after about 30 minutes.

Slay the Spire is a deck mainstay for me. A good run is 40 minutes to an hour.

How about SNES or GBA emulation? For what it’s worth, many flights now have a power outlet between the seats

Seconding the emulation idea. Plenty of outstanding SNES games out there.

Chained Echoes. 16 bit RPG with great art and gameplay, but it’s not hard on the battery and it has modern day QOL features.

100% support this. Feels like it was made for the deck. Gives me super big Game Gear vibes but like you said, with 2023 qol.

Emulating Gamecube games is pretty low-spec if you compile the shaders beforehand. Battery life nets 2-3 hours on flights for me (Steam Deck). I have nearly 2000 hours of Animal Crossing GC combined, pls don’t judge me 😅.
