I really like this game, and the Challenge mod is packed with lots of fun in higher difficulties. I didn't play the new campaign mission yet, but the previous ones were good too.

Highly recommendedable game, IMO.

To me, the game feels a lot like The Last Federation, for i have to influence factions with diplomacy, sabotage, delivery... and i am just myself, and my crew, not a large army or an empire, etc.

And Darkest Dungeon for crew combat

And, not sure what, for ships combat

And, some 4X/space sim for the galaxy market, jumpgate etc

It's a niche game i would say, and won't please everyone, but it pleases me a lot.

A loved Templar Battleforce, and they are awesome with support (TB got more than 70 updates since released, for free, with fixes bug also content, missions, weapons etc). They do the same for all their games, and i'm very confident they will do so for Star Traders Frontier, their biggest/largest/deepest game so far.

So many games to play with, so little time to enjoy them all...

September / October was like this so far :

Via WINE, Auto Age : Standoff. A 1980 cars battle arena multiplayer.

Linux, i've been playing Overgrowth Beta 6, done the Campaign and a few mods.
VEmpire, a card game with nice uncommon mechanics
Goken, a AJRPG cute
Dungeons of Chaos, a retro RPG with a team of 6, turn based combats
Solar Settlers, a great cerebral board game with cards, where you have to colonize planets
Voxel Turf, a unpolished but super fun Minecraft + SimCity + GTA
Golden Krone Hotel, a rogulike where you play as a human turning into a vampire
Undervault, a simple yet fun and original roguelike
Depth of Extinction, a nice XCOM underwater in alpha
Heliborne, kind of World of Tanks, with choppers
... and more are on the waiting line...

I've been playtesting Triple X Tycoon and Star Traders Frontier too, and the last one will soak my time i guess for the upcoming weeks...

Also RPG in a Box, an engine to build voxel RPG without coding, based on Godot engine.

I write articles or make videos, on my blog and YouTube channel, if you want to see more, and if you can understand french (jeux1d100.net)

My experience, without checking any data, is that i have access to more and more good Linux games, every month is better than the previous.

So, when a data says Linux is going down in %, i wonder if i'm blind, or if the data translates its information into something else.

I do think China has its part, based on the so many chinese comments and request for translation i'm seeing poping everywhere (just like "Linux +1"), but only a part. Maybe it's only because the total amount is growing massively, and Linux is growing in raw number, but not in global %. Maybe the Steam Survey is biased (i almost never get surveyed,b ut i did last week).

According to developers i have contact with, they are all happy to support Linux, for politic reasons very often, and they at worst don't lose money, at best of course it's completely worthy.

So... i don't know, i am only a random Linux user, and i don't see myself going back to Windows again, never. Just to think about it, brrr... My computer's life is honestly easier since i'm not dual-booting anymore (it was with WinXP then Win7).

If it's the Drums of War i'm thinking about, it was pretty bad with a poor support, and mostly was a less-than-Wesnoth-but-pay-to-play.

But i may be wrong.

Also, i love turn based tactical/strategy, but not when i need to manage dozens of units, it becomes too much heavy i think.

May be nice, but.

I think the music didn't fit the trailer, and also i don't like TPS and much prefer FPS.

I hope the game follows MineCraft, Terraria, Factorio... Started small, grew huge.

Take a look at Liko-12, too, it's basically Pico-8 but open, with more tools.

It's probably not going to happen :

QuoteWhat are the odds (serious and honest please) to get a Linux version "soon", and how soon would be "soon" ?

Extremely slim, only a couple dozen people have asked for a Linux version so far, and it costs us thousand of dollars just in licensing fees for the audio system we use, for every platform other than Windows. That doesn't include the labor in porting, or the support for that platform. So that's just us losing money.

I have no interest at all in this kind of device, as my PC is my main and only support to play, work, watch movies, etc, but it's nice to see some new challengers trying to do something with Linux.
