Impact Gameworks, developer of the popular and rather fantastic Tangledeep, have announced recently that their brand new game Flowstone Saga launches on September 17th. This unique blend of a 16-bit JRPG-inspired world with a puzzle-battle system really looks great, and it will have Native Linux support just like the first game.
More about it: "Enter the world of Ocean’s End and play as Mirai – a spunky heroine who builds her party and home as she begins to embrace her new-found powers and find her place in the world. With an innovative twist on combat, Flowstone Saga allows players to choose at will between turn-based and real-time combat – skillfully making use of puzzle combat mechanics to shake things up. Tactical thinking triumphs over pirates, giant beetles, and at least ONE axolotl! Fans of classic SNES and PlayStation RPGs will feel right at home as they explore, build, fight, and cast their way through Flowstone Saga’s mysterious world."
