Story line runs up in nearest future in the world of unsteadiness, chaos, espionage, terrorism, desperate fight for world supremacy and possession of sophisticated biological weapon.

The game looks very, very good. It's nice to see some original shooters coming to Linux, something I feel we are lacking in. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

This is definitively intriguing, I wonder what convinced them to start the port. Now, they are Russian Indie developers, so we had somewhat of an in, but based on some of their comments I think the Desura release and the Mac and Linux ports are being done mostly as a raised middle finger to their previous publisher.

Well, that seems fine to me. :D

"Now we have multiplayer via LAN and via Internet only on Steam/XBLA/PSN. Because we don't have own matchmaking server. If Desura will run matchmaking SDK, we are ready implement it."

thats sad ... i would like multiplayer.. coop or against eachother.

Wow neat. I hadn't watched the trailer before. This does look pretty awesome.

My 'to buy' list just increased by 1. Damn, graphics looks really impressive. And while multiplayer would be nice bonus, i wouldn't be too much upset about it.

This is absolutely great!
I hope there will be enough linux-copies sold for them to port their next titles too.
Hamish Mar 10, 2012
Well, after this their in-house engine will have been ported over anyway. So there would be less work involved with any future titles when it comes to releasing them on Linux. Not a guarantee, but a good sign none the less.

It seems to have gotten some pretty mixed reviews, but I'm all for keeping an open mind until I can try it myself.

I have lost faith in most commercial game reviewers already, to be honest.

I can not comment on the game of course, but still...
Liam Dawe Mar 16, 2012
I always ignore metacritic, i never trust it at all. Look at the reviews on Desura from actual players, not reviews who are all "its no gears of war".

8.7/10 on Desura so far.
