Hardcore top-down shooter 'Heat Guardian' will get a Linux release

By - | Views: 13,385

Heat Guardian [Official Site, Steam], a hardcore top-down shooter set in a freezing world is set to release for Windows soon. Turns out it's going to come to Linux too!

About the game:

Heat Guardian is a hardcore top-down shooter set in a freezing world. You’ll have to travel through the dying lands to find the one last stronghold of humanity – trying your best to stay alive. Deadly mutants, limited resources and even the world itself make this journey a trial only the most skilled survivors can endure. In this grim place there is no easy way – prepare to fight for your life!

Taking place in the ruins of Eastern Europe, it's a story-based shooter with 40 levels to play through, survival elements as you battle against a cold dying world, over 50 different weapons along with a wave-based survival mode as well.

Speaking to the developer on Steam, I asked about Linux support and they said this:

Linux support will be implemented soon after the release.

Always nice when a shot in the dark returns the answer you want. Check out the trailer for an idea of what to expect:

Looks like something I would enjoy. I'll keep an eye on it.

Reminds me of Darkwood and Teleglitch! If it won't have any super scary horror elements then I'd very much like to play this :)
