Thanks to an early preview code from Koei Tecmo, I&#8217;ve been playing Nobunaga&#8217;s Ambition: Awakening on my laptop and Steam Deck. Despite being officially unsupported on Steam Deck by Valve as of this writing, it plays quite well out of the box. While things could change in the final build, I&#8217;m quite pleased with how Nobunaga&#8217;s Ambition: Awakening is shaping up on PC, but I was hoping one aspect would be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\"

The default Proton didn&#8217;t work for video playback. One thing to note is that the issue I had with the image shaking like in recent Koei Tecmo releases on PC is not present in Nobunaga&#8217;s Ambition: Awakening as of the latest SteamOS 3.4.8 release. It also worked with proper PlayStation button prompts. One thing to note is that as of the latest update, the game on Steam Deck is locked to 720p. I couldn&#8217;t force it to a higher resolution even when using the official Docking Station. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While I didn&#8217;t get enough time to do a full preview of Nobunaga&#8217;s Ambition: Awakening covering its gameplay and the new features, I wanted to cover the PC port and how it runs on Steam Deck in its current state at least. I&#8217;ll be discussing the gameplay and more closer to launch in my full review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nobunaga&#8217;s Ambition: Awakening releases on July 20 worldwide for PS4, Switch, and Steam.
