There's a lot of cyberpunk games, steampunk and more but what about Woodpunk? It's an action roguelike that looks good and it's coming to Linux.
It released for Windows a few days ago, after checking it out I thought it looked pretty sweet.

The answer from the developer was surprising "We're aiming pre-christmas!" and so we should hopefully see it soon.

Follow and wishlist on Steam. As a reminder, be sure to set your platform preference (at the bottom here) on Steam to "SteamOS + Linux" only, this ensures developers see your wishlist entry show up as Linux.
