If it didn't crash so much, I'd recommend it.

Doesn't run 60fps on the deck, great game tho but i wish they had a demo to test the game's performance, u can play at 40 to 45 fps but 60 is still way better
Steam review, 17 April 2026 · 1 hours played · 1 readers marked it helpfulGame runs fine otherwise, (smooth 60-80 fps!).

A further 8 reviews call the game buggy or broken without saying how, which is why they are counted separately rather than assigned to a theme. Counted by keyword across review text, so a review discussing two problems is counted under both. Read the reviews yourself.
