I don't get how people play RTS/city builder style with controller. I tried to do it for mob rule a long time ago and I just couldn't get used to not being able to just pan with mouse.

Anyone can, why would someone want to play with a controller what I am questioning.

Tbh its more for the portability of the console over anything else - i can just pickup a game i left off on pc and play on the go, or in bed or anywhere, i dont have to just sit in a chair struggling to stay comfortable for hours on end ^^

Steam deck has trackpad though?

It controls just fine.
The OP's question was how it performed.

As someone playing on deck - It runs just fine.

My main criticism is that the text is a bit difficult for me to read at times and i can't find any UI scaling options. Maybe they will add this later.

I'm playing on Steam Deck OLED and get 45FPS/Hz at medium-high settings. Text is pretty small. Controlls are great as mix of gamepad and trackpad.

EDIT:
To add to this the game is also on the Nintendo Switch.
It has clearly had some time put into it to ensure that it plays well with a controller.

Set shadows to medium for an FPS boost.
