Have you played Workers and Resources: Soviet Republic? One of the most Marxist games ever made along with Vicky 3. It's pretty intimidating but it has a lot of difficulty features so you can start with just the basics and ramp up at your own pace.
I'm not sure WR:SR would work well handheld, just fyi to OP.
OP mentioned CK, AOE, and Civ - I think W&R would work about as well as any of those three. The Steam Deck's got the touchpad mouses.
It's cool that it isn't a carbrained game, but the party loyalty thing is very weird.
Its part of “xaxaxaxa communist russia so silly” genre which has these reactionary elements to avoid being seen as “propaganda” in combination with appealing to soviet nostalgia to actually people from the former communist states, so it still has to be realistic.
It's a bit strange, but a good excuse to plop Lenin statues everywhere.
