Fantastic looking shoot 'em up 'Sky Force Reloaded' releases for Linux in two days

By -

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?

Seems to be an update that fixes some controller issues. I couldn't get my PS4 controller to work out of the box like on the Anniversary and had problems mapping buttons so I hope it fixes that.

Improved general controller support (fixing bug with unwanted Player 2 activation).
I had this one, good to know it's fixed now ;)

one of the best shoot'm'ups available on Linux. If you love the genre and would like one that isn't retro themed, this is a must-have!
