THQ Nordic has done it once again for us, updating an older classic to improve platform support for newer systems. As was hinted only yesterday, Desperados - Wanted Dead or Alive has been updated to include official Linux support.
Features:
- More than 20 enemies with different profiles, from the lazy and cowardly bandit, to the fearsome mercenary.
- A team of 6 characters, each with their own very distinct characteristics, to manage in real time.
- 25 different levels provide nail-biting intrigue, with cinematic transition scenes and landscapes that will take your breath away. Amazing artificial intelligence!
- Each enemy is ranked on 10 different criteria, including intelligence, courage, marksmanship, resistance to alcohol, etc.
- An array of different settings: day-time, night-time, storms, dusk, villages, ghost towns, fortresses, gold mines, saloons, prisons, boats 6 training levels to allow the player to really get into the story
Interestingly, they also added in a lost demo level:
Includes a long lost demo mission where Cooper, Doc and Kate free a town from Outlaws.
A challenging level from back in the old days when some games still had rather difficult demos
On top of that, you can now select your language as well between French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian and English. The demo mission is limited to French, German, Spanish and English.
You can grab it from Humble Store (Linux icon should appear there soon) and Steam, it is not on GOG just yet.
Here's to many more from THQ Nordic!

Bought it, launched it, and now I cannot turn it off – ’cause the menu says “Exit to Windows” and I most definitely do not want to see Windows on my desktop after quitting. ;-)

I remember watching my older brother play this some years ago when I was little... I never knew the name of the game and had no luck finding it for a long time. So this is double the great news for me! Thank you!

Looks like they're old enough that Infogrames was on it (so before they assumed the Atari name.)

Yesterday I was having a small issue where the mouse pointer would get stuck in the middle of the screen, I let one of the devs know & I think they've patched it already.

Have they included higher resolution textures as well? The original release feels a bit blurred on current screen sizes.

Can you guys do me a favour and hunt down some information if the remastered version of Red Faction: Guerilla is coming to Linux as well? :D I tried writing them on Facebook but go no answer.

I'm tempted. Who tried it and can tell us more?

Well I just lasted 2 minutes on the demo, killed the first bad guy & then made the mistake of trying to shoot another one in the back, I didn't see the third guy with a rifle. Bang I gotta start again. :D
