Having released for Windows and Mac on the 19th January, Redhook studios have now confirmed in their latest announcement that their Gothic roguelike RPG "Darkest Dungeon" will be coming to Linux next as a short-term goal.
I never noticed Dungeon Souls getting a Linux version, so it must be another case of it not showing up in the new SteamOS & Linux games list if the Linux version was added later.
Arcen Games, makers of AI War and The Last Federation, have put out their latest game in a surprise release last week. In a deviation from their usual formula, they've chosen a more action-filled approach while still keeping some of their usual elements. I took a look to see if it's any good.
Fans of challenging platformers with the trendy roguelite appellation might be interested to know that there's something new that they can sink their teeth into. Vagante promises countless hours of procedurally generated fun alone or with friends.
Another updated version of an old roguelike was released for Linux earlier this month. Players can expect to fight monsters, explore and have all the traditional trappings of dungeon crawlers.
I talked about Space Grunts a bit back in September of last year, and it was already pretty damn good. Today marks the official full release, so go get it.
We have covered Hand of Fate before, but since release it has gained four major free content updates, so I took it for a spin.
Sunken is a rather pretty looking action RPG that has random monsters and loot, permanent death and crafting of course.
Good news people! Voyage to Farland now bundles Java, and it launches in fullscreen right away if it's launched on SteamOS.
I've been sent Sunken by a user, and I have to say it looks like quite a good addition to the action RPG genre, the good news is the developer is already planning a Linux version.
There are lots of so called roguelites on Steam but recently a real roguelike classic called ADOM, or Ancient Domains of Mystery, made its way to Steam. Let's go check it out!
I've been looking forward to Cardinal Quest 2 ever since I tried the original, and after a very long wait it has been released.
Sublevel Zero has been updated, and it now launches correctly. It's a good one to try for fans of Descent, and it's rather vibrant looking.
Sublevel Zero is an exciting looking game, and with it being a roguelike six-degree-of-freedom shooter i just had to give it a go.
ADOM, also known as Ancient Domains of Mystery, is a bit of a classic among roguelike games and the updated and enhanced version which was funded through Indiegogo is now available on Steam.
Sublevel Zero is a great looking and well received first-person roguelike six-degree-of-freedom shooter (wow, what a mouthful!).
Flamebreak has utterly shocked me. I thought it looked quite fun from the description and pictures, but the gameplay has completely hooked me in.
GALAK-Z has certainly caught my interest! I don't often like 2D space shooters, but when it looks this gorgeous I might take the punt on it.
This is a kind of mix of a Project Maiden review and an interview with its creator Kevin Cole, in which we discuss his first two games, as well as his experiences with crowdfunding and game development.
Nuclear Throne is something of a dark horse, it doesn't look like much, but damn is it good when you get into it.
