HYPERCHARGE: Unboxed, a solo and co-op wave-based first/third-person shooter where you assume the role of a toy action figure is now officially available on Linux. Not only that, it's also a Steam Deck Verified title.
Being Steam Deck Verified means people can buy it without much worry, as it should perform well and look good on the smaller screen. This verification happened a little while ago but the additional big news is that they now have the officially supported native Linux version available today!

This game would be perfect in a 4-pack combo. I've already purchased two copies myself because of this news, so thank you.
Major flashbacks to 3DO army men games on the playstation 1.
