ScourgeBringer, a fast-paced free-moving roguelite platformer is heading to Linux

Only just announced today, ScourgeBringer from Flying Oak Games, E-Studio and Dear Villagers who've all joined together to make it is a fast-paced action platformer that does look very slick.

ScourgeBringer aims to channel the mystery and rawness of an early Metroidvania, with fluid controls, fearsome bosses and a punchy soundtrack. It follows the adventures of Kyhra, who must descend deep into a dungeon within an Eldritch monolith to uncover secrets guarded by ancient machines.

When spotting it earlier, I noticed it had Linux system requirements on Steam. As we know, that's not always confirmation of it coming. These get removed quite often, so I spoke to the team on Twitter who said "200% correct, same engine as NeuroVoider and the game already runs on Linus [sic] in house. It'll be day 1 support."
