About the game (from the Steam store):

QuotePyre is a party-based RPG in which you lead a band of exiles to freedom through ancient competitions spread across a vast, mystical purgatory. Who shall return to glory, and who shall remain in exile to the end of their days?


System requirements:

OS: glibc 2.17+, 32/64-bit
Processor: Dual Core 3.0ghz
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Graphics: OpenGL 4.2+ support
Storage: 7 GB available space

I am personally a fan of Supergiant's previous work, having played through both Bastion and Transistor, and I may or may not have broken a personal rule regarding video game pre-orders when it comes to this title. The reviews thus far seem to be quite positive and I will also be sharing my thoughts on the game once I've actually gotten to try it out myself.

Update: I have now tried the game for a little over an hour and I would like to point out a bug AMD GPU users may run into. If you run the game on Mesa you may notice the game simply crashing on launch. Adding "MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.5COMPAT %command%" into the Steam launch options (right-click on the game -> Properties -> Set launch options) seems to fix the issue without any adverse effects.

Update #2: It would appear that some kind of a patch was shipped out which seems to have broken the game for all platforms. On a positive note, the Mesa OpenGL version override is now part of the launch script for the game. I will update this update when an update ships that fixes the update. Issue has been resolved and the game should now launch normally.

I'm a Linux gamer from Finland. I like reading, long walks on the beach, dying repeatedly in roguelikes and ripping and tearing in FPS games. I also sometimes write code and sometimes that includes hobbyist game development.

Seems that a new patch completely broke the game for all platforms, so I am updating the article with a warning about that.

Another patch seems to have been sent out which fixes the crashing issue. I have updated the article accordingly.
