Murnatan, a free to play humans vs aliens FPS that supports Linux

Need a new FPS shooter? Murnatan [Steam, Official Site] released into Early Access on Steam recently. This free to play FPS is quite a lot like Natural Selection and Tremulous.

Powered by Unreal Engine 4, the initial release suffered a few Linux issues like no download, then no mouse cursor and so on which have thankfully now been patched, so I was able to actually get into a game and test it.

Each side is quite different of course in terms of abilities and weaponry available. Humans preferring their precious guns, while the aliens use their teeth and claws to eat you alive. Gameplay is based on three stages of development, the more you kill the higher stage your team will reach enabling you to pick more powerful weaponry or alien class.

It does feel quite rough and it's a fair bit faster than Natural Selection 2, with a much more arcade like feel to it and it's free so what do you have to lose?

I will be interested to watch this one develop, as they have all the basics down they just need to keep polishing it. It certainly loads a lot quicker than Natural Selection 2, which feels like I suddenly age every time I try to play it.
