From the award winning studio that brought you Ravensword: The Fallen King and Aralon: Sword and Shadow, comes Ravensword: Shadowlands.
After the fall of Ravengard, the world descended into chaos. The Kingdom of Tyreas stood alone against a sea of dark elven invaders. The Ravensword was lost, and the dark times began. As a descendant of an ancient line of kings, you alone have the power to wield the Ravensword again and restore that which was lost.
Features
Explore a vast and richly detailed world, gather powerful weapons and items, increase your skills, and follow a deep storyline to solve the mysteries of the Kingdom of Tyreas.
Trailer
They are getting a bit of a back-lash on Steam due to it being originally a mobile game ported over to PC (it's a Unity game).
The main problems I can see are price which is a fair point it's more than double the price on Steam than Android for me and graphics, but that's not a valid point in my eyes since you can see the graphics in the trailers and screen-shots you get exactly what you buy.

Unless they upgrade the graphics, there's really no point in this for me. Granted it would be better played on a pc, but I've already bought this game twice (ouya and phone).

Bleeding skeletons... Interesting...

That game is among the better games for Linux purely from a graphical standpoint. No joke.

I'm on this as soon as they put controller support in.
Well, maybe not as soon as, I've got a lot on my plate already.
I'm on this as soon as they put controller support in and it gets a decent discount.

If it's an Android game why such high CPU requirements? Ultra bloated Java?

I have it for android already, play it on my nexus7, it's a really good game. Also bought it on steam, unfortunately at the moment its quite buggy.

It actually looks nice, even if rather low-poly. Reminds me of Gothic. But there’s no demo and the description doesn’t tell anything about the gameplay…

Played it through twice already on PC in Linux, and from a graphical point of view I wouldn't judge the graphics to be bad.
Rather content and only a few side quests, and a single-threaded storyline and only a few side-skills via runes make it the indie game.
It's a good title, would buy it again.

I've played it a bit now, and although it definitely has flaws it's quite enjoyable. It's obvious the interface wasn't designed for pc, but with all console ports of recent years I've seen worse. The gameplay is somewhat simplistic, but fun to play.
I've seen it compared to skyrim on a few sites, but that's not a fair comparison imo. This game is in a completely different league than the elder scrolls games.
All in all no waste of money!

Eww, hard to find something valuable among this cheap clichés avalanche. "Stunningly impressive".

Eww, hard to find something valuable among this cheap clichés avalanche. "Stunningly impressive".I know, but having not played it and going just on videos and screenshots on the Steam page and here it looks like you can stab a T-Rex!
It's an old Final Fantasy cliche hidden super mob, the T-Rex was hidden in a small patch of late game forest and would beat the crap out of you.

Interesting - someone compares Skyrim to this title? Well, that they already do speaks for this game, an indie game being compared to a AAA title.

To be fair, it's only been compared because of it's nickname "Skyrim for your phone!" It's not even close. But for a mobile game? Sure. It's about as close to skyrim as you can get ATM.

Twice already? Two days after release? Seriously?
Wow! Not wasting my money on that game.

Picked it up in Humble Bundle and Can say I'm pretty impressed. I'd call it a Skyrim lite and runs natively in Linux. Gets a big tick from me. On caveat, I found it froze in full-screen, Running in a window - no problem though.
