Night of the Blood Moon from sole developer Tyler McDermott is a cramped and quite interesting action game that feels like a twin-stick shooter inspired by the likes of Nuclear Throne.

We've seen plenty of robots and we've seen a fair amount of fish, but have you seen a fish controlling a robot with a sword? Say hello to Feudal Alloy.

Sometimes when looking around for new games I come across something that really catches my eye, Battle Motion is one such game as it looks completely silly.

For those after their next retro platformer, the SNES-inspired Emerald Shores is out on Steam with Linux support.

Yet another interesting crowdfunded game to take a look at today, we have Heroes Ravage an online action game that has you play as both heroes and villagers.

I took a look at the Prologue of Unsung Warriors back in October last year and it was pretty good! They've now expanded it, put it on Steam and they have a Kickstarter going for the full game.

I have some pretty fond memories of playing Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory online with friends many years ago, so to see it still alive and kicking with ET: Legacy is awesome.

Arc Savior, a new space combat game from developer Squid Monkey Studios is releasing later this month and it looks quite interesting. Turns out the developer is going to support Linux too.

If you would cry happy tears at the thought of a modern successor to 80s games like Thrust and Gravitar, then brace yourself for a river. Developer John Watson is making that dream a reality with his first commercial release, Gravity Ace. And you can try it for free!

While it's had Linux support for a few months and has been available on other stores, today GOG have added the action-RPG Mana Spark.

With thanks to a supporter, I was gifted a copy of We Need To Go Deeper. It's a 2-4 player co-op submarine roguelike and it's pretty rough.

Inspired by the likes of Nuclear Throne, Slay the Spire, Risk of Rain and more One Step From Eden looks like a promising action-packed deckbuilding roguelike.

Kontrakt actually released back in October last year, sadly it only supported older distributions but this is now fixed so I've taken a look.

Abstract Hell from developer Nathan Best released recently with Linux support and it's really quite good.

Happy Room, a game you might not have heard of and you will be forgiven for that (I hadn't either) as it released in 2016. Turns out, they added a Linux version just after release so we completely missed it. A bit of a warning though, it's certainly not one to show a younger audience.

I've been massively impressed with my time spent in Smith and Winston, which just made its way onto Steam for some Early Access fun.

After being sent a copy of Damsel from Screwtape Studios to our Steam Curator, I spent some time as Special Agent Damsel.

Here's a game we completely missed that released back in 2017 - Runic Rampage. An action-RPG from developer Electrocosmos.

Elteria Adventures is a tough game to describe. It seems like it's an open-world RPG MMO with world-building features and it's coming to Linux.

Here's a curious one. Evolvation, a space combat sim from HyperReuts originally supported Linux last year and after going through a revamp Linux support was removed. It's coming back though, as the developer has confirmed.
