When you boot up the game for the first time, you have to activate fullscreen in settings, the first time you do this the game will close, but once you boot up again it will stay in fullscreen with no more issues.
Game seems to run at around 47-50 fps on GE-Proton7-14
Game runs as expected outside of the lock at 50 fps. Not a big deal since the game is turn-based anyways.
Works just as well as it does on my Windows PC. Played through a dungeon and boss fight and noticed no glitches or performance issues.
have to do a lot of tweaking with the steamdeck performance settings just to get the deck's fan to stop howling so loud, bad battery life
This game is very poorly optimized. It will tear through your battery charge if you stick with default settings, turn on TDP and set the battery wattage to about 6 or 8. Set the FPS down to 30 and use FSR.
Cutscene subtitles are customizable (i recommend 4x), text boxes are readable, but the tool tips and descriptions of attack effects in battle are very small, I had to squint to read the MP costs of spells.
I honestly have no idea why this game got a verfied check from Valve. I suppose it's because the game can run and probably be played to the end, but the readability on some UI elements are really bad, and the poor optimization basically kills the battery life and makes your fan very loud if you don't do some very meticulous tweaking of the performance settings.
Play this on a (strong) PC. The game as it is now is just not an ideal experience on the deck.
Game seems to run perfectly on the Deck with GE Proton. Haven't tried official Proton.
