This game would be perfect on the steam deck.... but it's unsupported. That's the bad. Everything else is nice, fast paced bullet-hell game.

It's a fun game. It can be very challenging as well. You really have to learn the mechanics.

If you enjoyed other Housemarque games like Alienation, Resogun, or Matterfall then you will enjoy this game. It is the same frenetic yet readable arcade based gameplay that you loved in those other games. Usually on sale, this is certainly worth a go.
