I wrote about Stellar Tactics [Steam, Official Site] in October last year, as it looked like a pretty decent space exploration RPG and the developer was planning Linux support. It seems the Linux version is now coming closer!
I was pointed out to a Twitter post from the developer:
Sounds promising!

About the game
QuoteBringing back the nostalgia, excitement and wonder of classic RPG's, Stellar Tactics will thrill you with a compelling narrative, deep strategic squad-based ground combat and rewarding open world space exploration. To survive, you will need to build your team's skills and equip your party and ships with the best weapons, armor and equipment you can find. With 10,000 sectors, tens of thousands of solar systems and millions of planets to discover, you can spend countless hours exploring, fighting, trading and building a party of seasoned veterans that can dominate the challenges of deep space.

Quoting: ExpalphalogAnd, to be fair, I don't think either of those games fit the Action RPG mold very well either.
Yeah agreed. They are closer to strategy than action rpg imo, judging from the gameplay videos I've now seen.
Quoting: ExpalphalogI do understand your frustration - I am first and foremost a fan of Strategy games but I have loathed every single real-time strategy I have ever played so to see even classic turn-based series like Master of Orion jump to real-time combat disheartens me.
Here's the funny thing: When it comes to strategy, I too find turn-based to be excellent. The Xcom games are amongst my very favourites released for Linux so far, regardless of genre. Fantastic games.
But in a RPG I want to be immersed in the world! Not just the strategy. I want to explore, want to BE the character(s) that I am. And that's where the turn-based mechanics comes SO in the way. All of a sudden my characters are just pawns on a board. Breaks the flow for me, in RPGs.
Like, the Shadowrun games. LOVE the setting, love the atmosphere, the artwork, love everything. I'd so totally love to dive into that world, chat with NPCs, figure things out, explore the world and abilities and skill trees and all those things that makes a great RPG. But man, those interruptions when the game freeze! Kicks me out of the immersion every time. How I wish it was one fluid uninterrupted experience!
Quoting: iiariwhat would someone say is the last really good space real-time action-strategy RPG for Linux?
Well, you do have pure sci-fi strategy games that are realtime. But a really good realtime sci-fi RPGs? Not a single one. Not within how I define "RPG", at least. Nill!
And I just so happen to first and foremost be a sci-fi fan. Fantasy/medieval settings do not appeal to me. So yeah - the frustration is real. :D
