Ground Pounders Turn Based Strategy Now Officially Out For Linux

Ground Pounders is the next game from the developers behind the Sword of the Stars series, and promises some heated turn based action. It's now out of Early Access and is fully available for Linux.

As far as turn based strategy goes it's a good one, but it can be a little overwhelming to get into, so it's a good job that it has a reasonably good tutorial to get you going.

It's not my cup of tea personally as even with the tutorial i still found it a little difficult to get into. For big turn based strategy fans I am sure you will love it.
