- Aliens of Gold is perfectly playable on Steam Deck, but requires extensive controller configuration due to its keyboard-focused design. I suggest using the mentioned "Blake Stone: AoG - Edge's Steam Deck Optimized" community controller layout and other mentioned configuration adjustments to turn the game into a near-modern FPS.
- Strafing and other movement cannot be done simultaneously, but you quickly adjust to this quirk of the game.
