Well... Judging for the gameplay videos, is not exactly a retro game; is more like a modern game with retro graphics.

Speaking of Realms Deep and the Build Engine, it looks like there is an Ion Fury sequel that doesn't use Build or have Linux support: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1733240/Phantom_Fury/

I wonder... Is it possible to play A.W.O.L. by building your own executable, e.g. using eDuke32?

Looks nice, would play if it didn't require you to install Steam to download it.
