Torment: Tides of Numenera is another game heading to Linux from inXile entertainment that was funded on Kickstarter. They have released a new video to show off just how amazing it looks.
I'm going to be honest here and say that I wasn't remotely interested before, but that video has pretty much sold this one for me. The game is heading to Linux as confirmed by their previous Kickstarter.
You can still pledge by grabbing a copy from their official website at a minimum of $30. The price will rise when they stop their crowdfunding.
They have hit in total over $4.6M and it's now pretty easy to see why.
Official About
Thanks to its more than 80,000 backers, Torment: Tides of Numenera continues the thematic legacy of the critically acclaimed Planescape: Torment. Set in Monte Cook's tabletop role-playing world, Numenera, the newest Torment asks: What does one life matter? We're creating a rich experience that explores deep, personal themes.
The Setting
Numenera's Ninth World is a fantastic vision of a world in which hyper-advanced civilizations have risen and fallen and left their inventions behind. Their achievements became part of the accumulated detritus of eons… and now this assortment of ancient power is there for the taking. The humans of the Ninth World take and use what they can. They call these artefacts the numenera.
What did you think to the video? Fantastic that we are getting such an RPG on Linux. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Such games don't need multiplayer since they try to be close to pen and paper RPGs but in game form. To make it similar with multiplayer one needs a serious environment with GMs and such like some MMORPGs do to be conductive for roleplaying. And that's a completely different scope of a project.

so what you are saying is it's not diablo. That's all I needed to know. Highly highly doubt this will be my "cup of tea" then. It does look nice though for the people who will enjoy it.

I don't pre-order crowdfunded games any more. But it does look great, and once the Linux version is out, I'll buy it.

It surely isn't. If you want a historic comparison, take a look at what inspired this game: https://www.gog.com/game/planescape_torment

Never doubt anything. I thought all hack & slash games like Diablo were dull until I actually played a lot of Path of Exile. Now I'm hooked on the genre.
You should definitely buy Planescape Torment or Baldur's Gate 2 from GoG. You may end up liking them.

A sort-of-sequel to the very best story-driven RPG ever, Planescape:Torment, is precisely what I have been waiting for, and if it doesn't come out before 2015, it'll still be oh-so-well worth waiting for, and so will Pillars of Eternity.
And if anyone reading this hasn't played Planescape:Torment, I urge you to go to GOG.com and buy it and play it (it runs great under wine, as every Infinity Engine game has, ever since they were new games).
You'll be amazed at the story.
No kidding!

Quoting: EKRboiSo this will not be "diablo like"?Hell no! This a story driven cRPG where the decisions of your character affect the story.
Diablos are not RPGs. They are hack n slash action games with RPG elements (ie level up and skill points system).
