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.

I recently announced that GALAK-Z had released for SteamOS & Linux, but I've now properly pumped some time into it and it's quite an experience.

I'm always a bit iffy about posting online indie games, as niche games like this never usually have a big online following. It's no different for this game, and it really doesn't perform well on my machine.

The game, featuring an unlikely combination of gameplay elements, was a surprise release. We have Ethan Lee and FNA to thank for the port and we can expect to see more of his ports in the near future.

The developers have shared information on the status of the Linux version and will soon offer an opt-in branch on Steam for Linux users willing to test the port.

Last Dream, first kickstarted in June 2013, has now been ported by White Giant RPG Studios to support Linux.

I still haven't properly tried out Don't Be Patchman, but it looks cool. The funny bit of Wednesday news for you is that it's still the only game on Steam to only support Linux, and the Windows release is now delayed.

The developer of InfiniTrap has sent in a few keys for us to giveaway, it's interesting because it's made on Linux, and it's pretty hard.

After a pretty long hiatus related to my school work, I have finally returned to reclaim the GOL Cast throne. This time we'll be taking a look at Polychromatic, a recently released indie twin-stick shooter.

Scraps: Modular Vehicle Combat is one of the types of games that I simply love, there's nothing more fun that building your own death machine.

The Escapists isn’t a game I’ve played before, since the first game isn’t on Linux (yet), but The Escapists: The Walking Dead is now on Linux and our friends at GOG sent me a key.

PULSAR: Lost Colony, a spaceschip co-op game which was kickstarted on October 31st 2013 has now arrived on Steam Early Access after publication of the second beta version.

Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is a 1-2 coop space shooter, exactly my type of game and thanks to GOG we have a copy to test.

With all the big titles coming to Linux, it is easy to miss the smaller ones. You do not always want to invest hours of your life building an empire or engaging in epic quests. Sometimes you just want to blast some alien bugs for a few minutes while your coffee is brewing. The game I am looking into today lets you do exactly that.

Absolute Drift was mailed in by a user (thanks), and having given it a go it’s one of the weirdest experiences I have ever had.

Nomad Fleet developed by Autarca is a one-man indie strategy game that combines elements from FTL, Homeworld and even Battlestar Galactica into a single package. You command the remnants of the humanity on a quest to find an ancient jump gate to escape a mysterious alien race known as Xenos.

Starship Rubicon instantly captured my interest with its mix of space combat, visuals from NASA, and the promise of gameplay like FTL, only you pilot your ship directly.

Minor Key Games have released their political thriller Neon Struct: Die Augen Der Welt on Steam. The game sends you into a neon-coloured surveillance state that has its sights on you. Stealth and diversion are your only weapons against those trying to capture and silence you.

Hero of the Kingdom is a nice looking casual RPG, and the Linux release is almost upon us. The developers took to their Steam forum to keep everyone informed.

TowerFall Ascension has been given the gift of DLC and DRM free treatment on GOG.com. The Dark World Expansion pushes TowerFall further in every direction, a great excuse to revisit the beloved indie fighter.
