Following on from my article announcing that the Linux version of The Signal From Tölva could be downloaded on Steam, it's now officially released on GOG & Steam.
Direct Link
Game Features:
- Explore a single-player shooter set in a weird, sprawling, tranquil alien landscape.
- Fight a war of territory control against dynamic and ferocious AI.
- Recruit allied robots to fight alongside you.
- Equip electronic countermeasures, plasma shields, and savage beam weapons for intense skirmishing.
- Unlock the secrets of the signal and enjoy the rich, complex fiction behind the Tölva universe with our free PDF lorebook.
- Delve into science fiction mystery as you investigate the haunting highlands of Tölva.
It's been running really nicely on Linux and I have yet to find any issues with it. Good to see it get official status now with a SteamOS icon on Steam and a Linux build on GOG too.
I've been enjoying it, but it certainly won't be for everyone as large parts of it really are quite slow. It's a weird mix of lonely travelling, then suddenly being thrust into a firefight against groups of other robots.
The developers are working on a free expansion to the game currently, but they've been having some "real life events" that have unfortunately stalled things a bit. Read more about that here.

It's lying in the corner because of shitty leveling mechanics now, together with Borderlands.

I played some 7 hours or so yesterday, and it doesn't really feel like I'll finish it soon. Maybe that's because they added stuff, or maybe it's because I just suck, or maybe it's because the fucking pieces of shit of other bots level the same speed as me (what's the use of levels if everything else gets better the same time as you? I hate it).

I hit a wall with it too, at around... can't remember... level four? It's the final level before your "command robot" tool allows you to control four robots. Once you (somehow) hit that level, the game's a lot easier. I think I ended up sniping from miles away while my two robot companions through themselves to the wolves was I eventually managed to steal a couple of crucial nodes and make that last level jump.
Hope you get back into it though - a lot of fun, despite that bit of frustration!

I actually did, probably because of your comment, and I finished it ;). Thanks.
