It works if you have internet.

Tinker Steps:Custom Proton: GE-Proton7-17

Battery Performance:

TDP to 4 Watts, Allow Tearing On, GPU Clock @ 400 MHz

Secondary Launcher Problem:

Game does not launch pass first load screen if there is no internet.

Instability:Not Listed

Game will not load offline and will not show an error, instead choosing to infinitely loop on load screen.

Significant Bugs:

Game will not load offline

Fun, well optimised game, though the Dpad of the steamdeck isnt always the greatest for this kind of game.

Runs perfectly and even better than Windows.

The game usually drops frames for an extended time under Windows, probably probably due to a bug with it's API or broken outdated libraries. This is not an issue under Proton at all, making it the definitive way to play the game.
