Bionic Attack, A Real Time Strategy Game Made On Linux & It Looks Brilliant

Bionic Attack is an interesting looking mix of real time strategy and tower defence. An interesting tidbit is that the developers are actually programming for it on Debian Linux.

Since I am sucker for a good-looking strategy game this took my interest straight away. The trailer sells it quite well that's for sure. It looks like the game-play is already quite well polished with asymmetrical game-play to make it a real test of brains.

Features

• A campaign for the story with more than 40 missions
• Independent maps for the challenge
• 3 levels of difficulty
• Multiple graphic themes
• Asymmetric gameplay with 2 factions for a more varied gaming experience

I reached out to the developers before writing about it to make sure it already had a Linux version not one "planned" like so many others, imagine my surprise when I got this reply:

QuoteHello,

We are working on Debian, so the most advanced version is on Linux.
Windows version will be released at the same time, and Mac version a bit later.

Thank you for showing interest.

I think this is a project we can all show our support for. We will be keeping an eye out for when the beta lands some-time thing spring.

You can vote for it on Steam's greenlight here and also follow it on IndieDB.

Game background
In a far-off solar system, on an isolated planet, the war rages on between the Democratic Alliance and the Conglomerate. More than for the planet domination, the two factions are confronting for the control of resources.

The noxious air and the incessant fights have compelled the population to shelter in bunkers with endless galleries.

Solely the mechanic units are sent to the surface in order to collect the resources and to build defences.

The peace will come only with the destruction of one of the factions. Bionic Attack will immerse you into the story of this conflict at a turning point. The emergence of a new technology in the army of the Democratic Alliance rushes the Conglomerate into a global and unprecedented offensive which leads the two factions to the ultimate battle.
