Shoot'em Up Gryphon Knight Epic Coming To Linux On August 20th

Gryphon Knight Epic is a pretty polished looking Shoot'em Up that really does remind me of some Sega Megadrive games I played as a youngster, and it will have a Linux version on day-1.

It reminds me a little of Altered Beast, if anyone has played that I wonder if anyone else thinks that too? Getting the weapons from boss monsters sounds like fun!
