Install using Epic Launcher in Lutris, add the line beginning '-dxd11' to the Arguments box in the Game options found in configure.
Also select the wine-ge I have listed in the Runner Options.
Game info Runner I have selected as Wine.
Make sure to rune winetrickes and install DX11 otherwise it won't work.
I hope this helps somebody cos it took me half a day to figure out - I'm a noob.
I had to follow this guide to get my 8bitdo controller to work - https://gist.github.com/ammuench/0dcf14faf4e3b000020992612a2711e2

Visual C++ Runtime required
tiny text in menus
lowest settings + 720p+ fsr isn't enough to maintain 30
(Heroic Launcher/Epic Game Store Review) Installed from Heroic EGS, worked by installing Visual C++ Runtime
installing a Visual C++ Runtime 2022
Without Visual C++ Runtime, the game refuse to boot. mess around with Winetrick is required. Also, I made mistake, I used Wine - Wine-GE-Proton8-26, actually.
Menu text is a bit small, but discernible. Gameplay uses few text prompts.
Players can expect an average framerate in the mid-20s.
Use the standard launcher. Game will not launch with the DirectX11 launcher.
Game is enjoyable due to its loose and laid back gameplay, not requiring precision or quick reactions. Players can expect no more than 90-120 minutes of play time on battery. The game looks good and plays well, but at the mentioned sub-30 framerate. No crashes or game-breaking issues, thus far.

General poor performance in open areas even at medium settings
Slight slowdowns in areas with lots of lights
Game will not launch unless forced to DX11 mode.
Update about a month after launch on Steam works out of the box on Steam Deck, but, as far as I can tell, only if you select DirectX 11 mode.
Graphical settings can be difficult to read.
Even at lowest settings, you will experience some performance slowdowns.
Tried only a tiny bit, but despite some slowdowns, the game seems perfectly playable to me.
However, as other users already reported, you will need vcrun2019 to run this game, otherwise the game wont launch. Considering I did struggle figuring this step out, heres a short step by step guide:
Go to desktop mode, find the Discover app and launch it, then search for protontricks inside the program. Once protontricks is finished downloading, search for it through taskbar and launch it. (Launching protontricks through the Discover app didnt work for me for some reason). Protontricks might startup with a permission requirement and a command you might need to use in your terminal, if it does, make sure to do just that. After you get Protontricks to run, find The Eternal Cylinder in the game list. (Throughout the following steps you might get some error messages to pop up, just ignore them and press ok on all of them). Once you select The Eternal Cylinder in the game list, select the default wineprefix and install it. Then choose the Install a Windows DLL or component option. Then find the vcrun2019 in the list and install it. (Again, if you encouter any error popups just ignore them and press ok on all of them). Then launch the game and use the DirectX11 option.
vcrun2019
You have to install vcrun2019 via protontricks or it will not start.
By default, the game tries to run the DirectX 12 version. This will result in an error message.
Run the DirectX11 version instead - you can select it when launching the game.
visual c++ runtime was not installed in the wine prefix. The version installed by protontricks was not new enough. Downloading the visual c++ runtime version from microsoft and installing that under the wine prefix, then launching as Directx 11 allowed the application to load and have not encountered any new issues yet.
It required tinkering to get it to run.
Out of the box, graphics set to high, FPS are sluggish in some situations, those become more and more frequent as you advance in the game, so I set FPS Cap to 40, refresh rate to 40Hz and ingame graphics to medium. This was an improvement but still it would be a bit sluggish sometimes, there's probably much better tweaks for this as it seems a minor issue, but I'm new to the Deck.
