After multiple delays Terminator 2D: NO FATE has launched with Linux support and Steam Deck Verified

Terminator 2D: NO FATE from Bitmap Bureau / Reef Entertainment has released today to give you some retro themed action-platformer goodness.

The delays were quite unfortunate, as they repeatedly had issues with physical copies and wanted everything together. It's here now though, and going by the Steam user reviews it's a hit with a Very Positive rating. It launches with a Native Linux version, and Valve rated it Steam Deck Verified with it set to use the Linux version by default.
