Overall works great. For multiple controllers, priority may need to be manually set by user.
When using multiple controllers, only one controller could be resposnsive to the game. It is necessary to manually set the active controller to the top priority.
Given >30 FPS, steamdeck performs much better than some other hand-console. However, frequent crash could be extremely discouraging.
I'm playing the asia version (simplified chinese). The fonts of text may probably be better randered/smoothed/anti-alising. But it is also probably the game's own problem, instead of steamdeck or proton.
我游玩的是简体中文版。我想中文字体如果能有更好的反锯齿，那么字会更清晰一些。但这更可能是游戏本身的问题，而非由于 steamdeck 或 proton 导致的问题。
Pre-rendered video in the game (such as skill/action demonstration) frequently causes the game to lock-up. Also refers to reports from Galm and Solid Snack Drive; I think I've encountered almost the same issue. For my case, lock-up means that only graphics freezes, including performance overlay (level 2). Still, pressing button on the frozen graphics, will give the sound effects as usual. So I believe that the game itself and sound are still working when locked-up, but only graphic frozen.
游戏中的演示视频 (譬如技能或动作演示) 经常导致游戏界面锁屏。我相信我遇到的问题与 用户 Galm 和 Solid Snack Drive 所碰到的问题非常相似。这里的锁屏是指，游戏画面、包括性能界面 (等级 2) 都被锁住不动；但同时按下按键可以听到游戏的声音是正常且符合运行逻辑的。因此，在锁屏发生时，我认为游戏和声音并没有停止工作，但仅仅是画面停止工作。
This game works well and enjoyable. But some minor problems may occur for frequent controller change and achievements.
When changing Xbox gaming controller (北通) and steamdeck, sometimes keys will be mapped to another layout (A->X, B->A, X->B, Y->Y, RB->RB, LT/RT/START/BACK not fully works). This may not be convenient when frequently changing TV output to deck output, or vice versa. This situation does not occur on other games, so I guess that's not the problem of controller manufactor, but controller mapping itself.
Rarely stucks (could not continue by pressing B for Xbox controller). For this situation, simply save and then load will solve the problem, so this issue may not really affect game play.
Achievements
This game may not properly pop out achievements. I have already cleared "fate" route and first 13 tiger dojos, but only one achievement (prologue) pops. I replayed some scenes in flowchart and regained some of achievements.
Loading and Saving data works well. As a minor problem, I could not delete saved data on Deck OLED. Syncing latest saved data (but probably not all data) via Steam Cloud seems working well.
This game performs good with default settings (medium quality), most time >55 FPS (no battery optimization, or >16 Watt on average); even for worse cases (such as many people on street of "honolulu"), >35~40 FPS could be achieved. I personally spent and enjoy more time on battle and in-game cutscenes, so I perfer capping FPS to 60. No major bugs found and no game crash encountered. Really enjoyed playing on Deck.
On 1280x800 screen, much higher quality is also playable (generally >40 FPS), given that AMD FSR is activated. Also, on 1920x1080 screen, even medium quality could be overwhelmed; much more aggresive AMD FSR setting is probably required.
This game seems not suitable for frequently changing output display. Pluging to other displays after opening the game, may cause some strange display behavior. So make sure the game starts after desired display monitor prepared.
