Linux is about to get some more Warhammer with Warhammer 40,000: Carnage Champions, looks like a mobile port, but could be worth looking into.

I hope it isn't riddled with pay to win nonsense from mobile games. I actually don't mind mobile games coming to PC at all, as long as they have a decently tweaked user interface for the different input expected on PC. That, and making sure it's not riddled with the usual "pay x for more coins" bollacks we tend to see.

I will likely give it a go to let you know if it's worth checking out.

It has 6 different characters to play as, and 500+ pieces of gear to play with. It even has cross-platform multiplayer, so that alone could make it worth a blast. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I do enjoy a bit of sidescrolling hacking and slashing, especially in co-op, but this looks pretty tame. I get the feeling it's a mobile grindfest party with slow levelling and progression gated by premium currency or massive investments of time.

The Android-version has IAPs starting at 1€ and they go all the way up to 65€ so i wouldn't be surprised if some of that carry over to the Steam-version. Who knows they might even have more than one currency to make it harder keeping track of how much real money you spend!

Hope i'm dead wrong and it's a fun co-op romp, will have to look for some reviews when it's out.

Might be pretty cool on my phone... But I'll never pay for a mobile game on the desktop.

It's Warhammer, I LOVE Warhammer, if it's a free to play game then what have I got to lose trying it out? some hard drive space that I can easily get back by deleting it. If it sucks I'll just move on to the next game.

I saw the image and thought for a second that Dawn of War 3 would come for linux... well. Hey guys from Feral if you lurk here around and see this... You ported Company of Heroes 2 already.. is there a chance for Dawn of War 3? It seems that Sega is more open to Linux :)

Or even Dawn of War 1 which IMO is the best in the series.

well for me it depends if the game is funny or not, major mayhem was pretty good.
