I will start this off by saying, I don’t know jack all about the Retroids, looking it up when you asked me about it here is the first I’ve ever heard of them. But looking at the specs I think it would probably run fine. I’ve played Qud on some absolute potatoes of desktop PCs before. I feel confident it would run on the processing power of an Android phone and the Retroid 5 has a snapdragon 865 in it. It’s a good bet. Late game might lag a bit but it’s turn based so who cares.
I primarily play on PC and don’t have a problem with screen size. When I’ve played on the Deck I’ve found myself peering a bit at the smaller text, toolbars and item descriptions and so on, but it was all readable and my vision isn’t exactly stellar. If the Retroid has a smaller screen than the Deck though, it’s possible you could run into trouble there. I think the dev team has accounted for that with some UI size multipliers in the settings menu but I might be misremembering that. I’ll check that tonight when I’m off work and I’ll update here if I remember to.

Oh. May I ask your thoughts on the screen size, with this game?

Thank you so much. That is my concern. However, I’m willing to give it a try as I can still play it on PC. Thanks again for your feedback.
I’ve just checked and there are indeed UI scaling options in the menu. Up to 2x normal! So I think you’ll most likely be fine.
Thank you. Much appreciated
That’s good enough for me. Thank you so much for the feedback. I’ll take the gamble. The game looks right up my alley
