Minions of Steel, An RTS & FPS Game Coming To Linux

Minions of Steel is an interesting looking hybrid of a real time strategy game along with some first person shooter elements, and it is in need of greenlight votes. It does of course state it will be able on Linux too.

The game is being built in the Unity game engine, so it's not exactly surprising it has Linux support.

Sadly thought it looks like it's mostly a multiplayer game with the "single player" being mainly a practice mode against AI bots. It's sad because indie games like this generally don't ever get enough players to sustain multiplayer modes, so I do hope they flesh out the singe player a bit more, as it does look quite good.
