About the game
QuoteChoose from nine heroes with an assortment of weapons and abilities to suit your playstyle, from swords and rocket launchers to laser turrets, bongo drums, and boomerangs. When you die, you’ll leave behind an Echo of your hero on the battlefield. The next in the line of heroes will be able to resurrect your Echo as an AI battle companion. Take turns continuing friends’ games, fighting and dying until you have an entire army of Echoes by your side, and enough strength to finally defeat those jerk monsters. Everyone dies. Heroes continue.
While the Steam store only lists Windows right now, the official email being sent out clearly states Linux support. It seems it will go into Early Access this year as they said sometime this "fall" and release in full "in early 2018".
Looks like Aspyr Media is really pushing up their publishing game, with less of their own ports being announced and more of a focus on helping other developers with publishing. Good to see another announced with Linux support for sure!

Looks like Bastion with hero chosing ability.To me it looks like Bastion on the Wii. Definitely one for playing over the Steam Link.

Looks like Aspyr Media is really pushing up their publishing gameAlways good to have more choice/diversity though it's a pity their recent higher-profile releases have not been ported to Linux (Mafia 3 and CoD:MW3):

Hopefully Feral can help fill the holes in our AAA line-up. ;)

There are only 0.032155% whose surely can run the game with decent performance.I'd argue the percentage on people capable of running AAA games on Linux is proportionally higher than that of macOS, Apple will always play catch-up in the gaming hardware market relative to Windows and Linux PCs.

Mafia 3 would be nice.
Agree about Apple , don;t mind them doing their own thing , hate how they sell more hype than hardware.
Also , I think plenty of us on Linux have decent rigs. It's less of a budget thing (i think) and more of a freedom of choice/used to it thing.
