Robothorium, a futuristic tactical RPG with turn-based combat is heading to Linux

Robothorium [Official Site], a futuristic tactical RPG with turn-based combat from developer Goblinz Studio is heading to Linux, with a release due this year.

Check out the trailer:

The developer, Goblinz Studio, previously worked on Dungeon Rushers which also has a Linux version. Going by the trailer, it seems it shares some gameplay mechanics too (likely built with the same engine).

I like the look of the game, but the exploration bit looked too flat with you clicking a circle around in different directions (much like the dungeons in Dungeon Rushers).
