Sky Force Reloaded [Steam, Official Site] isn't your average shoot 'em up, boasting some seriously good looking graphics and it's coming to Linux in two days.

I did quite like the previous game, Sky Force Anniversary, from the same developer which also supports Linux. It ran really well and it was quite challenging, so I'm looking forward to seeing how far the series has advanced with the latest title.

Judging by the trailer, it certainly looks amazing, the ending where the massive plane rises from the smoke looks extremely exciting!

Like all good shoot 'em ups, it will have varied enemy types, massive boss battles, co-op support, an upgrade system to turn yourself into a fortress and more. This time around, it will also feature weekly tournaments which will be battled out across five infinite stages to see who's the best pilot around.

It looks just as nuts as the first game that's for sure. Will you be grabbing a copy?

There's a 10% discount for the launch of the game, 8.99 is a steal ;)

Quoting: GuestBTW, by default, Sky Force recognized my arcade stick as the 2nd player, and my Logitech gamepad as 1st player. It it possible to exchange them, without tweaking the Steam configuration or USB ports ? If I start the game with my arcade stick, it starts in 2 players mode :(

Which ever controller is used first when game starts is generally considered the first one .

But... spent over £60 on Black Friday game sales, ack.... giving in, giving in...


EDIT:

And now it is bought and in my Steam game collection. Note - For a better discount, can get the bundle.

Yes, got an additional 10% discount via the bundle. Nice of the dev for owners of their previous game ^_^
