I’ve tried playing this game via GameNative on an AYN Thor myself because I thought a handheld would be perfect for this kind of game. I’m on the steam version instead of Epic, but I can confirm that there’s a monsterous load time when playing the PC version through GameNative. Subsequent launches were faster, especially after I lowered a setting in the menus regarding how it loads data from disk.

But even then, I had a lot of broken textures and models and semi frequent crashes too. I really recommend playing on traditional hardware for the time being.

GameNative has been actual witchcraft for a bunch of games, I’m playing Mina that way myself right now. But yeah for whatever reason, Cassette Beasts isn’t playing nice with it yet.
