Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. At the end of the day, the use case where Vulkan and DirectX12 make the most sense is when you have hundreds of thousands of objects, which are all different (different geometry, textures, etc.),

The engine should be able to render and simulate 200+ lightweight game objects -- frame-animated sprites with simple collision, no fancy physics or shaders. Which game engine should I use to maximize ease of learning and compatibility, and manage hundreds of simple objects on-screen? and no WASM.)
