Dispatch is the #1 Steam Deck game of November
For a new release to climb this quickly is impressive, and it highlights how well the game fits the Steam Deck. Dispatch is described as “a superhero workplace comedy” that leans heavily on narrative and player choice. It is developed by AdHoc Studio, and Dispatch is their first game. The team behind the studio includes industry veterans from Telltale Games, including creators and writers behind classics like Tales from the Borderlands and The Wolf Among Us.
Choice plays a huge role in the game. Nearly everything you do affects the story in one way or another. Small moments, like how you talk to coworkers, can change how characters feel about you. Bigger decisions, like choosing which hero to send on a dangerous mission, can impact how the story unfolds later.
The game follows an episodic structure. The final two episodes were released on November 12, giving players the full experience during the same month it topped the charts. Another big plus is that Dispatch is Steam Deck Verified, meaning it runs smoothly on the handheld without any extra steps. AdHoc Studio released the episodes in pairs, on the following dates:
