McDROID Released For Linux On Steam

McDROID is a fancy mix of strategy, tower defence and action packed together in a fine looking package. It's now available on Steam for the full release.

It has a few issues on Linux like a big strange box around the cursor which really does get in the way, so you may want to hold off for a moment.

Official About
A fast-paced, tough as nails Third Person Arcade Tower Defense, McDROID will challenge both your trigger finger and your wits as you multitask like a robotic spider-doggy: running, shooting, building your base, controlling, healing, harvesting, repairing, planting, upgrading and researching - all at the same time.

Defend your shuttle against a variety of crazed alien species as they mutate, corrupt the ground or even turn your crops against you. Load up on, play solo campaign or join in up to 3 people in survival arenas and take the battle to the enemy. If it gets too crazy, turtle up behind your defensive perimeter and assume direct control of the turrets.

Doggy-robot McDROID and her friend SHUTTLE crash land on their way home to Planet M. The entire fauna has been mutated by something and the Planet no longer speaks - she is very ill. Plant trees, build, defend and outwit critters on your way to heal your Planet's hearts with the help of your research lab, your upgrades and your pet bots. And don't let these giant strawberries rot.

Nice. I wanted to try it anyway.

I last played this on Beta 12 & it's improved in leaps & bounds since then, the cursor is the only thing that I've seen so far that's not up to par.

This has been on Desura for a long time now, however, once the game was greenlit on Steam the developer essentially abandoned the Desura version, disappearing for years to work on the Steam version without any updates.

He did recently provide Steam keys, but for those of us who don't use Steam that doesn't help much. There is a reason I bought it on Desura.

Desura is crap. I contacted them 2 years ago asking them to step it up, I bet if hackers wanted to they could break into their server in no time at all.

The Linux Derurium client is buggier than a house infested with termites. Too bad Desura, your lackadaisicalism has left me disappointed, our love was not meant to be. I've moved on to a sexier and funner girlfriend and her name is Steam.

Well you are entitled to your opinion, and your not completely wrong about Desura though I'm not sure what "to step it up" means. Still I don't think it's a matter of if Desura or Steam is better. I paid for the product on Desura, and I feel like the developer ought to provide me with the latest version on Desura. I don't want this to turn into another Steam thread, but the bottom line is that I am not a Steam customer.

It sounds fair to me, I don't like this developer.
