Kingdom Rush Frontiers coming to Linux after the initial Window launch
19 July 2016 at 4:27 am UTC

QuoteI still haven't even played Kingdom Rush even though it was ported to Linux two years ago, yes it has been that long I even had to check. Am I missing something big here?
A lot! It is super fun, I spent like 50 hours playing this one and I don't even like tower defense games :P

Quoting: boltronicsOMG.. this is a day one purchase for me. I've got almost every star on the Android version, and have every achievement for the GNU/Linux one. Great little tower defense game.
Me too, man! High five!

Quoting: boltronicsI don't understand why Ironhide Game Studio hasn't released more of these games.
Well, they have three Kingdom Rush titles for mobiles and browsers, among which the first one is also available on desktop platforms, while the second one is also coming, as you can see.

They are also working on a new title, Iron Marines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9n4hwMdWMQ

Quoting: ElectricPrismI held off buying this because of the Early Access after Storm United going dark :(

On a scale of 1 to 10 for FPS players who like Halo, etc... how good is this?
Pretty good. Personally it reminds me a bit of Team Fortress 2 and maybe Urban Terror. Fast, but not too fast paced shooter with fun classes. It's only 7 euro and definitely worth the price!

The curious tale of vanishing Linux & SteamOS ports, a status on a few of them

I kinda believe that the story behind Mad Max is the lack of Denuvo on Linux...

On all these announcements: I think that every one of them was a honest and cheerful promise, that got delayed or cancelled because of the technicalities. That is the case especially for ports that were announced in the late phase of the game development, when it's too late to change frameworks or middleware to something that supports Linux. Remember, that porting to Linux games that were never intended to be ran on Linux is extremely hard and often ends in scrapping functionalities (Company of Heroes 2 and non-Windows compatible multiplayer).

Undertale now available for SteamOS & Linux and it's on sale

Quoting: toorWaiting for a DRM-free version.
The Steam version is DRM-free but it probably won't be too long before the Linux version will land in GOG and Humble stores :)

The DRM-free version on humble store is only for windows for some reason, not mac, whereas the steam version is for mac too :x
Remind the developer and/or write to the Humble support (maybe they will remind him!). Meanwhile, the Mac version is available on GOG :)

Quoting: ElectricPrismThis is in my top 5 for the last 20 years, great game.
Yup, game of the year 2015 and probably one of the best purchases I did that year. Definitely recommending to anyone with at least a little sensitivity and humor.

Developers are looking for testers to play 'Unearned Bounty', a pirate MOBA in Alpha state; FREE keys offered

I got the key too. Game works on Linux, but it's nothing interesting yet. It's an early alpha build, so there is much content and actual gameplay to be added.

Quadrilateral Cowboy, a cyberpunk heist adventure is coming to Linux in September

Meanwhile I am still waiting for the Linux version of Atom Zombie Smasher to be put on Steam :( It was one of the most entertaining games from early Humble Indie Bundles :)

You got me confused with "Early Access", I thought it is available on Steam :(
