Transistor, a game made by the developers of the well-received Bastion, is finally available on Linux.
About the Game:
Transistor is an Action RPG with an isometric camera much like its predecessor Bastion. And, like Bastion, it has plenty of style and atmosphere. Players control a singer, named Red, who finds herself drawn into a conflict involving the real and digital worlds. It is set in the backdrop of a futuristic city which is beautifully rendered in the studio's vibrant art style. The combat is both real time action but also has turn-based strategic aspects. This, coupled with different abilities that can be acquired and upgrades give the game some depth and variety.

The game holds an 83 on Metacritic and I, for one, have been looking forward to playing it after having a blast with Bastion. You can buy it for 50% off through steam here.
I always thought they had it available on Linux but I was just waiting for a sale, guess I was wrong.
Otherwise, this is an definite purchase. I've heard good things about it.

Quoting: scaineI doubt this will be one of HiB 13's reveals next week, but experience tells me not to buy any games during the first week of a Bundle!

The game is 50% off already.... buy the game, help the devs which deserve our money and score one more Steam sale for Linux :)

Yeah, it's not like I haven't done it before, it's true. But I've already dropped $30 (£18) on HiB13, so if I buy Transistor for £8, and they then release it for HiB, I'll be a bit annoyed. It would feel like buying it twice.
Definitely a game I want though... so we'll see. I generally have the will of a 5 yr old child at Christmas time, so there's a good chance that I'll buckle like a cheap belt over the weekend and end up buying it anyway!
supergiantgames for the win dudes, this game and Bastion are must haves

Oh and the name doesn't mean anything but coincidentally could be pronounced as "Buttery" which suits me just fine.
