Rack and Slay answers the question of "what if a dungeon crawler was like billiards"

By Liam Dawe,
Answering the question you didn't think to ask, Rack and Slay has shown up to show you what happens when you combine a dungeon crawler with something resembling billiards and pool. It's as odd as it sounds but it works.

Athenian Rhapsody is a rather unhinged Undertale-like and stupidly funny

By Liam Dawe,
Athenian Rhapsody might just be my new favourite release of 2024. Taking inspiration from the likes of Undertale and Earthbound and turning the ridiculousness up a few notches. Developer Nico Papalia has crafted something brilliant here.

Rogue Voltage is a refreshing and very creative engineering roguelike

Building a Retro Linux Gaming Computer Part 41: The Worm Turns

By Hamish,
The Allegro library is a cross-platform backend for low-level game routines, which for much of its history was very much associated with the MS-DOS freeware scene that was still going strong well into the early 2000s. Seeing this wealth of game content, the Fedora contributor Hans de Goede decided to see if he could port some of these over to Linux.

Building a Retro Linux Gaming Computer Part 40: The Cyborg Project

By Hamish,
An action platformer first released in 1999, you play as Urban Gutter, a man taken by an evil scientist to a secret military base and changed into a cyborg against his will. The acronym in the title then is a bit odd, but your one goal is to escape and enact as bloody a revenge on the world as possible. Any hope for true catharsis here often gets lost in frustration however.

Building a Retro Linux Gaming Computer Part 39: Beyond Heretic

By Hamish,
I stated before that neither of the contemporary HeXen ports, Linux Hexen and its fork HHexen, supported MIDI music playback through the /dev/sequencer device, but hiding on the venerable SunSITE network I found the only online trace of another early HeXen source port released in December 1999 by Russian programmer Stanislav Nesterov.

Windowkill is a clever multi-window twin-stick shooter that moves around your screen

By Liam Dawe,
This might be one of the most unique games I've ever played. Windowkill from torcado just released on Steam with Native Linux support and its use of multiple moving windows really changes the bullet-hell genre.

Geometry Survivor is wonderful nostalgia bait updated for the survivor-like era

By Liam Dawe,
I have some ridiculously fond memories of playing Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved, to the point of having a mini-party with lots of us sat around an Xbox 360 blasting through high-scores. To see Geometry Survivor appear is quite a highlight.

Time Survivors is the most completely absurd Vampire Survivors-like yet

By Liam Dawe,
Time Survivors just released on Steam and like many horde survival games it takes the idea of Vampire Survivors, and puts a few little different ideas into the mix and it's probably the most insane one yet.
