One-handed games?
-
Hi people, I currently have two friends who have issues with their dominant arm and can't do anything but sit around and watch movies.
I'd like to gift them some games to play with just one hand. Not the hentai variant, but something to keep them occupied with.
Both own a steam deck. One is more into cozy games like Dorfromantik and the other into RPGs like BG3.
One Finger Death Punch would be a good example as you can remap controls so you only need to press left and right on the D-Pad, but both of them don't really like that game.
Do you know any games which can be played with one hand, preferably a controller or Steam deck? Using a mouse with your non dominant hand is annoying...

You might be interested in the videos made by Champutee, a one-armed gamer who has done several experiments with both genres and controllers to continue enjoying gaming.
That's an incredible username!

Ben Heck made a couple of one handed controllers a few years ago. One of these controllers might open up more games than remapping buttons.

A Short Hike might be a solid pick. It's super chill, no stress, and you can get away with playing it mostly with just the left stick and a button or two — easy to remap if needed. Spiritfarer could also work, though it might take a little tweaking depending on how much movement they can handle.

One Finger Death Punch and One Finger Death Punch 2
What more is there to say? The reason why that works perfectly is already in the title of the game.
Caution: this game is addictive

FTL is life.Especially with the Multiverse mod!
(though it's much harder to install on Linux than it has any right to be)

Papers please should be playable with one hand only and is great at burning time

My first thought was FTL as well. Great game

Most my time with Crypt of the Necrodancer was during a hand injury. It's of course a pretty intense game though, so it's not for everyone.

I've been playing Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel recently on PC and despite being relatively action heavy it's 99% left hand (WASD + Q + space)
-
No problem; I'll play it more for you!
Thanks. Give those baddies a couple good rolls for me!
-
All I'm hearing is excuses over excuses!
They could easily solve the double right handed problem by sewing one to the other upside down.

If this is a long term thing, you might consider a left handed gaming mouse with programmable side keys.
I hate to recommend Razer cuz their build quality has taken an absolute nose dive, but the only one I know of is the Razer Naga: https://www.razer.com/gaming-mice/razer-naga-left-handed-edition/rz01-03410100-r3m1
Setting some of the side keys as WASD and the usual surrounding support keys (Q, E, R F, G, X, C) and you can play almost any game one-handed.
The learning curve to get your brain to accept mouse movement and clicks with your left hand is annoying as fuck though.
I have a couple Nagas and they’re excellent!

Oh my god! I didn't know about the mod! I have to check this out! Thank you!

Crypt of the Necrodancer is great fun if they don't have it already.

You're welcome! I've played it a bunch, it's essentially FTL 1.5 and extremely well made. Hope you have fun playing it!
In case you're running on Linux, be warned that you might have to add a SELinux exception. Hit me up if that's the case, I'll try to find the commands.

Good to hear.
I've had 4 - the 1st was around 2012 I think, and it was fucking amazing.
The second was around 2016, and even before plugging it in, it felt cheap. Actually using it, problems started popping up like measles in a red state - one of the side buttons stopped working, scroll wheel was janky.
The 3rd was around 2016, after exchanging the second via RMA. The L-click button was super fucked up right out of the box - it'd do this annoying thing where you push it down once, and like multiple clicks would register (the internet called it the 'double click issue' but was was WAY more than double... happened when I was using some art software and I'd have to ctrl+z like 10 times to clear all the actions it registered from a single click).
4th was around 2016, after exchanging the third via RMA >_< it made it a couple weeks without incident, but just when I thought I was in the clear, the cursor started jumping upwards a shit-ton randomly, which was hell trying to click-and-drag on anything. Then the internal LEDs went out (oh well, don't really care if it's pretty, but did like being able to see it in the dark). Then the double click thing started again.
Dealt with that for a while cuz I couldn't afford to replace it and was tired of dealing with Razer's customer service.
Then I joined the Air Force and didn't have any time at all to game, so kinda fall out of the scene for a bit.
Separated around 2020, got myself a Corsair Scimitar, and lived happily ever after. Doesn't come in lefty though.

I'm interested and for $3 I thinnill give it a shot. How does this compare to rimworld, as they look similar?
