PayPalThe invasion has begun. XCOM: Enemy Unknown is now available on Linux and you can help stop the alien invasion right now.
QuoteSince its inception, the XCOM Project has scoured the globe in search of the best and brightest military and scientific personnel to defend Earth from the alien invasion.
Today marks the availability of a new technology that will enable even more world-class recruits to join the fight, as XCOM: Enemy Unknown is released for Linux.
XCOM: Enemy Unknown is a SteamPlay title that runs on Ubuntu 14.04 and Valve’s SteamOS. The base game and all the add-on content, including the explosive expansion pack XCOM: Enemy Within, are available now from Steam.
Rookies should report to the XCOM: Enemy Unknown Steam information page for a briefing.

Let us know what you think to it, as for me it will be my first time playing it. Check it out on Steam now.
With the Steam sales happening very soon it may be an idea to hold off on buying it just yet. That is unless you want to support Feral with as much cash as you can throw at the screen for porting to Linux then go ahead right now.
We should have an interview with the guys at Feral soon, so keep an eye out for that too folks.

Quoting: MikeOh I didn't see Liam hadn't played it before. You're in for a treat, this game is so unique in many ways and incorporates a number of genres: strategy, sim, management, rpg.
I believe that he's played to original UFO: Enemy Unknown though (and the OpenXcom port), so he'll know what to expect. Saying that, he shouldn't expect too much. It's a fun game, but it's very "dumbed down" compared to the original games.

Kind of sad; this marks the last game I had been tracking on Steamdb, waiting for activity. But whatever, time to spend that time on some XCOM. I know have it on Android, Xbox, and Linux :P

Don't ruin the game by telling him who they reveal the enemy is at the end.

wierd requirements, an AMD HD6450 matches the recommended requirements but an HD5870 is not even up to the minimum requirements... anyone has tried to run the game on a system with low/medium end graphic cards? or on FOSS drivers?

I'd recommend getting it on sale during the Steam summer sale that is supposed to start today. Good timing :)

@wolfyrion : may I know where did you get that discount? :)
Sounds like a great offer, while XCOM complete is sold for 29,99€ on steam (for me, at least)

Its a shame than gaming in Linux still sucks. The r600 driver is still not good enough. Luckily I have windows too.

:D:D:D! Boy, has the last four weeks been a great time to be a Linux gamer! Being a long-time fan of turn-based games, I bought this for Windows ~16 months ago. Would have played it more, but that would require booting into the annoyance that I found Windows 7 to be. Now, I don't have that excuse!

Quoting: JoeI'd recommend getting it on sale during the Steam summer sale that is supposed to start today. Good timing :)Since we are Linux users, I suggest that we don't cheap out, especially for high profile games such as this. Developers and publishers should know that their efforts will be rewarded.
