I played the demo and I was massively impressed, so impressed that I would very much like to cover the game properly. So I will be reaching out to the developer for a key.
I'm not able to fully recommend it, since I haven't played the full game yet. Going by the demo though, it was very impressive. A great Commandos-like game to have on Linux and it looks gorgeous too.
About the game
Shadow Tactics is a hardcore tactical stealth game set in Japan around the Edo period.
Take control of a team of deadly specialists and sneak in the shadows between dozens of enemies. Choose your approach when infiltrating mighty castles, snowy mountain monasteries or hidden forest camps. Set traps, poison your opponents or completely avoid enemy contact.
The group is composed of very different personalities. Working together as a team seems impossible at first. Yet over the course of many missions, trust is won and friendships are made. The characters develop their own dynamic and each member will have to face their own personal demons. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

You don't get an installer. If it's DRM free you can just copy or archive the game data from your steamapps folder. A DRM free game will run without Steam running (or installed).

I don't think we ought to consider this DRM-free, it is just really easy to rip it yourself. While the game does not have its own DRM, the overall product still does.

Quoting: PublicNuisanceGOG has the Linux version of the full game but not the demo. I downloaded the demo on Steam. It's weird but having the full game DRM free is more important than the demo if I have to choose.
You're too impatient :D
The Demo is now also on GOG
Unfortunately 1.9GB is too much for my slow link at home, so I'll have to wait a bit before trying it. But the teaser looks very promising.

I don't regret buying this game, it's definitively a good (and difficult) one! :)

And I'd say the "overall product" in GOG and Humble Bundle do have DRM too since the games are bound to an account or at least a specific key to manage if I have the right to download the digital game. Just the games itself are free from any additional checks.

Because with Steam you only 'rent' the game as long as you have your account, and IIR the EULA correct you are not allowed to play without Steam (that's some years back - might have changed).

Then the same would be true for stuff bought, e.g., via Amazon. Of course this is not true. You need the account for buying and downloading once, but you are allowed to keep this download even if you quit your 'membership'. It's not tied to it, neither physically nor legally.
Maybe for most not a huge difference IRL. For me it is, and the reason I'll never use Steam, not even for such 'DRM-free' games.
