Gamepad Support and the Itch.io Launch

A true adventurer adapts to their environment. Whether you are raiding the deck on a lunch break or settling in for a late-night Gauntlet run at your desk, we want the experience to feel seamless.

Today, we are thrilled to announce two major milestones for Soltura: our official launch on Itch.io and the implementation of full gamepad support across all platforms.

Soltura Hits Itch.io


We have always viewed Soltura as a tribute to the indie spirit—a game born from minimalist mechanics and focused design. It only made sense to bring the dungeon to Itch.io, the premier home for independent creators.

You can now find Soltura on Itch.io available to play directly in your browser. This provides a stable, high-performance alternative for those who prefer to keep their gaming off the mobile app stores.

Take Control


While Soltura was built for the speed of touch and mouse clicks, there is a specific kind of "flow state" that only a physical controller can provide.


We have completely mapped the dungeon experience to the gamepad. Using the D-pad or Analog sticks to navigate the room feels incredibly tactile. Snapping between cards, chaining monsters and discarding weapons, is all done with a button press that adds a rhythmic, arcade feel to the math of the deck.

Steam Deck Ready
With the launch of the Itch.io version and gamepad support, Soltura is now a dream to play on the Steam Deck. The neon-soaked "Crawler" deck looks stunning on the handheld screen, and the physical buttons make chasing that 'Frame Perfect' achievement more satisfying than ever.

The Precision of the Pad


For the speedrunners among you, gamepads offer a new level of precision. When every millisecond counts, being able to trigger a quick chain via simple button presses can be the difference between a Gold podium finish and a Blue coin on your calendar.

The UI now dynamically detects your input. Whether you’re using an Xbox controller, PlayStation DualShock, or a generic PC gamepad, the interface will update to show you the correct prompts, ensuring you never miss a beat in the heat of battle.

More To Come


Expanding to Itch.io and adding controller support is just the next step in our journey to make Soltura the most accessible and deep card-roguelite on the market.
