Steam Deck plays Ark evolved ok but ASA is a unoptimized mess that really needs a high end PC to enjoy.

ASA is a UE5 game and the official minimum for UE5 from epic is a GTX1080 GPU.
As steamdeck is below 1080 it won't run acceptable, esp. without framegen and console commands.
Even if wildcard ever "optimize" ASA as best as for them possible it won't run sufficient.

There are exceptions where UE5 games run ok on steamdeck but those games don't use the actual new and interesting functions UE5 offers (like tekken 8 don't use nanite).
