The game itself still feels a bit early-access - for example the list of controls only shows the keyboard bindings, even though the on-screen prompts are correct for a controller - but nothing Deck-specific. Overall I think this might actually be better suited to the Steam Deck than to a PC.
Set the sticks to control the camera, plus bumpers or left trackpad to zoom. Configured ABXY. Uploaded community profile.
The game's UI in general is small and crammed in so there wouldn't really be room to scale it up. This is fundamentally not a game well suited to a small screen.
Proton Experimental needed for cinematics. Technically it works fine so long as you set all the graphics options to low (or can tolerate 15-20 fps), but at the end of the day it's a game designed to be played on a full size screen with a mouse. So long as you're prepared for that going in, it seems to work about as well as you could expect for this style of game.
Runs on high at almost a solid 30fps but with occasional brief loading stutters. Haven't tried higher frame rates but you'd probably have to drop down to lower settings to get it consistent.
Past the first area, performance is a bit worse. Medium gives a stable 30fps but I doubt you'd get 60 even on low. It drops quite a bit in recon mode. Given the slow-paced gameplay, I personally don't find it detracts from the experience, and I'm finding it very fun on the Deck.
