Gladiabots makes me feel dumb, very dumb. It asks you to create various AI and assign them to robots, to face off against another team of robots in a battle arena.
It's a strategy game of sorts, while also being a logic puzzle programming game at its heart as well. It offers up a single-player campaign, which realistically is just a (quite good) extended tutorial to get you ready to compete against other real people. This is where it really gets interesting, as it offers online play but it's of the asynchronous sort so you're not playing at the same time, meaning it doesn't actually need people online to play which makes it pretty sweet.
Direct Link
It just left Early Access and I will admit I'm being a little overly dramatic on the dumb part, it's actually surprisingly easy to create a somewhat competent AI thanks to the very friendly drag and drop interface. When I say competent though, I mean I can make my robots not act like a potato. They still die often, quite quickly too but it's also damn good fun to try.
It offers up different game modes like elimination, domination and collection as well as a sandbox mode to fully experiment with your AI creations.
You can find Gladiabots on itch.io and Steam.

but its hard :D
Quoting: GuestHm, I don't see Linux support listed on the steam sales page for it.Shows for me, has done since the Linux build went live on Steam in October last year.
Quoting: GuestOkay, now you're being more clear. It does show Linux support, via the icon but it does not have Linux system requirements. It's odd, sometimes it happens but it is live on the Steam store.Quoting: liamdawe*shrug*, even if you say that. I checked again just now and it still does not. Clearly, there is the icon if I look at the purchase button area, however it lists only windows in min system requirements.Quoting: GuestHm, I don't see Linux support listed on the steam sales page for it.Shows for me, has done since the Linux build went live on Steam in October last year.
The DLC really isn't needed though, just a small extra for those who wish to give the developer a little extra. Doesn't actually affect the gameplay.
