Vaporum looks nice, but sadly the combat system is in real-time. Does anybody know of a decent single-player single-character dungeon crawler with turn-based combat?

Unepic is awesome. I do not like many Metroidvania games but this one had me from beginning to end.

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, Cogmind (no native Linux port, but runs perfectly in steam), Tales of Maj'Eyal.

I refuse to install the Linux versions of GOG games until they make a Linux version of the Galaxy client. Being able to share saves between a Windows and Linux install of a game is a big advantage of Steam. Not having cloud saves and automatic updates is so 90s.

Ever since a couple of updates ago Vaporum includes a "freeze time" option, which makes combat almost turn-based-like. Also extremely useful for a couple of time-based puzzles with very narrow error margins.

What will refusing to install them do, if you already bought them? I'm confused as to how that's meant to encourage them to give us the galaxy client

Nothing. I know making statements is kind of the hip thing on Linux, but I'm just stating facts - no auto updates, cloud saves and cross platform save compatibility is a just not something I'm going to put up with. Which is why I play the GOG version of Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun solely on Windows.

Thanks for all your suggestions, I think I will give Vaporum a try once I am done with Pillars of Eternity 2.
