The Humble War Gamez Bundle has a few Linux games for you

By - | Views: 12,453

Like your war games? The Humble War Gamez Bundle might tickle your fancy with a couple of decent Linux games included.

Not exactly amazing compared to previous Humble Indie Bundles (I really would love to see them more often), but for those of you short on cash and looking for something new, this bundle still has three good Linux games.

For pay what you want, you will be able to get 

  • Mercenary Kings: Reloaded Edition
  • Insurgency.

If you decide to pay more than the average, you can also grab:

  • Day of Infamy Deluxe Edition

There's other games, but not available on Linux. Even so, if you're into shooters, those are some good choices. 

I recently did some Day of Infamy during one of my last livestreams and forgot how fun it was, the AI sure can be aggressive in the co-op mode. Pretty intense having an enemy flame trooper come running at you that's for sure.

I'n tempted to grab it myself, since I don't personally own Mercenary Kings. Grab your copy here.

All the games available are pretty limp imo. I love FPSs but Day of Infamy was a let down and Insurgency has too many technical issues to be properly enjoyable. I haven't played Merc Kings though I doubt its good enough to get the whole bundle for.

Quoting: GuestAnd you can support the FSF with it. But it looks like for a Linux site it is not important. I wonder how many people change the default charity?

I change it every time to be sure where my money goes but I'm not everyone. ^_^

Quoting: tmtvlOh right, there's 1 wargame in there.

Also, a game about war isn't a wargame, otherwise Valiant Hearts and Skyrim would we wargames as well.

Well, I'm surprised by this rather narrow definition. I'd call every game of the collection "Kriegsspiel" (literally "war game" ). Valiant Hearts would be an anti war game in my book, and Skyrim neither, as the war is not central to the game.

Quoting: EikeYou're fine when you activate and start it on Linux, this overrides the selling system. I've set my work hrowser's user agent to Linux for the Steam page just to make sure.

Does this account for all games? I bought Trailblazers from GOG, first downloaded and played on linux but been dual-booting to play the actual thing because linux build has a game-breaking bug atm

Not sure if GOG is the same process as steam? Would feel bad as hell if they count that as a windows purchase when I bought it with the intention of playing it on linux

Sorry, what I wrote is valid for Steam, I don't know how other stores handle it.
