We asked, they listened! Forgotten Myths now has a Linux version and is trying to get onto Steam via Greenlight too!

Speaking on their reddit post they said this:
QuoteHello Linux Gamers,
We are a small indie game development studio called Anchora Games. Earlier this year we released our first game Forgotten Myths which is a free to play online trading card game.
A couple of weeks ago we received an email from one of our users regarding platform availability. In order to play Forgotten Myths CCG, he installed virtualbox with win xp on his Ubuntu 12.04, but the game didn't work with it. That's the point when we decided this game should run on every platform, and we released Forgotten Myths on Linux a few days back.
Today we submitted Forgotten Myths CCG to Steam Greenlight for two of reasons: Users will be able to receive game updates much more conveniently and the game can get more attention in a digital distribution platform available in PC, Mac and Linux.
Steam Greenlight link: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=162580692
You can download and try the game @ http://forgottenmyths.com/
We are in early beta stage and hungry for feedbacks. Don't forget to join our community and state your opinion @ http://forgottenmyths.com/forum/index.php
You can also find us in the game in Dev Hours.
Hope to see you all in the game.


Features
  • Free to Play – You can acquire every card in-game by buying booster packs using earned currency, as long as you can devote more time in the game. This is the good free to play, no "energy gates" or "exclusive to buying with real world cash" cards.
  • Doma City - 3D Starting Zone- Players will be immersed in this 3D environment where they will be able to access main game features.
  • RPG Style Level and Rank Progression - You will be able to advance in levels and ranks to unlock special content and rewards, and compete in monthly leader boards.
  • Duel Mode - We're designing a hard core duel mode, where players will be able to bet cards from their collections against other players in a "winner takes all" duel.
  • Multiplayer Co-op Mode -You will fight against dreadful monsters and sinister characters in a co-op mode where you will be able to fight in groups of 2 or 4.
  • Immersing 3D Effects - Majority of the cards in Forgotten Myths have a specially designed 3D effect associated with an action or an ability; this is the true evolution of Trading Card Games to Digital.
  • Simultaneous Gameplay - Each attack turn is taken at the same time allowing for constant interaction and positioning tactics.
  • Remote Turn-Based Multiplayer – Play games with anyone in the world, from anywhere with internet access.
  • Hardcore Strategy - Most digital trading card games have oversimplified and gone all mainstream with their game mechanics. We've done the opposite and increased strategic depth by including positioning, and allowing different card types on the field.
  • Comprehensive Ever Changing Single Player Campaign - We have an in depth Single Player Campaign, that will have new maps, AIs and new quests added to it frequently.
  • Transformable Battlefield - The default 3D Battlefield can be changed by unlocking quest rewards that allows you to completely change or customize the table top battlefield.

Sounds pretty awesome, will be looking to give this a go myself since Mojang's Scrolls still hasn't graced us with it's presence yet.

Looks pretty interesting and definitely a genre Linux is lacking in right now, so thanks to them for helping to fill the void! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.
