Kingdom Rush Frontiers the latest Tower Defence game from Ironhide Game Studio has just released for Linux! This update also adds in more languages.

See their full announcement here.

I still haven't even had a chance to play Kingdom Rush yet, I know, bad Liam. Too many games, too little time right now.

Really great to see a developer deliver when they say a Linux version is coming, something to celebrate again.

About the game (Official)
The world's most devilishly addictive defense game is back - welcome to Kingdom Rush: Frontiers!

Bigger and badder than ever before, Kingdom Rush: Frontiers is a whole new level of the furiously fast, enchantingly charming gameplay that made the original title an award-winning hit. Command your troops through an epic (mis)adventure as you defend exotic lands from dragons, man-eating plants, and ghastly denizens of the underworld -all with flashy new towers, levels, heroes, and more goodies to help you crush your foes to a pulp. (Don't worry, we've still got all the good ol' stuff from the last game, too. It's vintage now.)

Kingdom Rush: Frontiers packs in so much content, it's like a fully upgraded artillery blast of mouthwatering, pixelated joy launched right into your smiling little face... and it hurts so good! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Yay! I really enjoyed the first one! The original was one of the first games that I played on my SteamOS install with the steam controller, and it's already kind of nostalgic remembering how cool it was to get quality mouse-like controls from a controller. Some quality, fast-paced tower-defense action is a great demonstration of that!

I might have to wait for a sale, but I will definitely pick it up. So anyway, how sad is it that I'm feeling a little nostalgic for something that happened less than a year ago?

That reminds me that I have to finish Kingdom Rush...
There are a lot of battles left that I have to settle out and many stars to collect 24/130

Great!

Did they vastly improved their engine?

I remember Kingdom Rush to heat up my notebook.
This is not the case with Frontiers.

Also: Everything is extremely smooth and VSYNC helps a lot.

Kudos to Ironhide Game Studio for bringing this truly addictive series to Linux! ^_^

I contacted GOG.com to know if they will offer the Linux version DRM-free.
Stay tuned for the update!

I've played Defense Grid (I & II) and Plants vs Zombies (I) - so this one could be a lot of fun! :)

Would you recommend to start with this or the first part of Kingdom Rush?

Thanks!

Another game that isn't for Windows, those poor Windows folks always get left out.
