Arc Savior, a new space combat game from developer Squid Monkey Studios is releasing later this month and it looks quite interesting. Turns out the developer is going to support Linux too.
If you would cry happy tears at the thought of a modern successor to 80s games like Thrust and Gravitar, then brace yourself for a river. Developer John Watson is making that dream a reality with his first commercial release, Gravity Ace. And you can try it for free!
For those who just can't get enough of building sims, your next fix is coming soon. Meeple Station is to enter Steam Early Access on January 17th.
Here's a curious one. Evolvation, a space combat sim from HyperReuts originally supported Linux last year and after going through a revamp Linux support was removed. It's coming back though, as the developer has confirmed.
For those like me who love their space combat sims, Allspace seems like it may be one to watch for when it enters Early Access in June.
From the same developer who gave us the rather good roguelike space sim Deep Sixed, Precipice is a strategy game of Cold War chicken for 1-2 players.
Now that 2019 is here, let's take a look at what interesting games Linux fans can expect to see across this year.
Now that 2018 is coming to a close, let's have a little look over some of what we think are the top Linux games released this year.
One interesting title we missed over the holiday break (hello, we're back!) is Heartbound. It's an Early Access "non-traditional" RPG from developer Pirate Software.
I've been excited to try out Hypergate for a while, as a long time Freespace fan I'm always itching to play more space combat games. It's now officially out, with Linux support.
Space Haven from developer Bugbyte Ltd (Battlevoid: Harbinger) looks like a very interesting colony building sim with a difference. Your colony is a moving spaceship!
Oxygen Not Included, the excellent colony building sim from Klei has another update out. This time, they're more focused on gameplay improvements than new shiny features.
Jupiter Hell is a roguelike I'm following with great excitement, it's serving a the spiritual successor to DRL (previously DoomRL, now called DRL since ZeniMax flexed their legal muscles) and it's looking good.
Meeple Station, the space station building sim that the developers say is like Rimworld in space can now be pre-ordered with instant beta access.
Now that the dust has settled and I’ve been able to put plenty of time into the new Danger Zone mode for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, I have some more thoughts.
For those who prefer their survival games to be single-player and a little sweeter, MewnBase is now on Steam.
The day I'm sure many have waited for has arrived, a new Steam Play beta has been officially released today which includes the important FAudio project. On top of that, even more titles have entered the Steam Play whitelist.
Valve are continuing to support as many devices as possible with a new Steam client beta now available.
News in the last week, heck, in the last few weeks and months have the potential to shake up the games industry significantly. It certainly may have huge repercussions for Linux gaming. It’s also been a little hard to follow sometimes, so I decided to explain many of the developments of the past few months and put them within an easy-to-understand context.
If you like your sci-fi co-op games, EmptyEpsilon might be one to take a look at which is free and open source.
