< 1 hour overallBarely enjoyable. The performace hit it is significat. Be aware.
Performance:Significant Performance Problems
Really low 25 FPS and Stutters.
It should only have slightly improved, given the nature of the game and the price, it would be fine then. But it need at least to reach 35-45 FPS stable with not shutter, otherwise it is not such a joy to play.

the game is playable, but it isn't the best experience on Steam Deck. Gamepad control needs to be improved, and performance as well.
Windowing:Size
the Steam Deck native resolution isn't available, max is 1280x720
Input:Controller Mapping
the game is meant to be played with the mouse. It's still possible to aim like a twin-sticker shooter, but since you need to aim the reticle on crystal patches to farm them, it's pretty inaccurate and the cursor flies outside the screen.
Performance:Significant Performance Problems
didn't try to tweak the game, but the default settings make it slow

Out of combat frame rate is fine, but in combat it runs like crap. Needs optimization.
