Analysis — Space Empires IV Deluxe on the Steam Machine
Space Empires IV Deluxe is a 2006 release, built for PCs far older than the Machine, so frame-rate isn't the question here; controller support and text size on a TV are.
ProtonDB is more cautious than Valve's Deck Playable rating: 10 reports average Silver (runs with minor issues), so expect to read a fix or two before it's smooth.
