Some menu text is too small for the display. The in-game hud also contains small text but the important information is large enough to see.
There were massive framerate issues during gameplay. The Steam Deck struggled to run the game on low.
The game crashes after exiting settings menu but changes will persist on the next launch.
I played Celeros Demo using build Pre-Alpha 0.6.0. Even after setting the graphics quality to low, I only ever reached 30-45 FPS. The FPS would drop to 30 while moving and 45 when floating idle in the air. The performance overlay (Mangohud) did not report any power or thermal throttling.
The text on the welcome screen, HUD, and quest descriptions are very hard to read. The game does not have an option for scaling text but you can still read it if you get close to the display. Thankfully, this is more of a minor annoyance than something that ruins the experience.
I played this on version Demo 2.25g which is an early preview. The game contains some harmless movement bugs and lacks scaling options for small displays. These are not Linux-specific issues since they persist on other operating systems as well.
framerate drops are common when in water, there are in-game settings to disable some water effects and make the game run faster
Overall the game runs extremely well. The game's default graphics are too heavy for the Steam Deck but the developer has presets to fix this. I personally use the "Steam Deck Performance" preset since I prefer the higher framerate over the quality.
